Образованието в Китай през вековете – кратки бележки
Education in China over the Centuries – Brief Remarks

Summary/Abstract: The present paper reveals certain features of the education system in China which partly emerged before – and were totally adopted during – the Han dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD). The first attempts to theoretically comprehend and generalize the processes of upbringing and education were made by ancient Chi￾nese philosophers. Among the schools that appeared around the 6th century BC – Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, the latter has had the greatest influence on the development of pedagogical thought in China over the centuries, until the beginning of the 20th century. The paper introduces the three main works that form the basis of Chinese primary education, which are given the common name Sanbaiqian 三百千 after the first characters in their titles. The paper sheds light on parts of the text of the school regulations, which in the 19th century served as a guide for teachers as well.
