Briefly describe the methods of ancient family education.

1. Teach students in accordance with their aptitude and step by step.

Because people's qualifications are different, if you want to train talents, you must teach them in accordance with their aptitude. Gradual teaching method appeared very early. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, aristocratic families had a set of procedures for arranging education according to their children's age.

2. Lead by example, imperceptibly.

Laozi's so-called "don't talk and don't teach" is the subtle education carried out by his own behavior. Yan Zhitui widely used the method of example in family education, and most of his children were unconsciously educated in activities.

3. Discipline and guidance, combining leniency with severity

People who are good at teaching their disciples are not only admonishing, but also paying attention to persuading their children and admonishing righteousness in emotional blending. Of course, this kind of education was not entirely in ancient families, and there was the idea of "filial son under the stick", which is not advocated in today's society.
