WISDOM EDUCATION IN SOCIAL CONTEXT – DISCUSSING THE SOCIAL ROOTS OF THE CHINESE WISDOM

Abstract

In the history of human progress, China’s traditional culture has left us a splendid civilization and numerous wise and preeminent individuals who have made a great impact on the development of human history. In this paper, I provide a novel interpretation of China’s traditional culture from the perspective of eight moral principals of “wisdom, honesty, loyalty, filial piety, rites, righteousness, purity and shame”. It is my aim that this educational study will help educational researchers develop a correct way of thinking to approach the essence of Chinese traditional culture.
