The word "going to school" comes from ancient etiquette, which means entering a certain class or place to learn knowledge. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it became an important ceremony for governors to enter China. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, raising children, scholars and scholars became the way to promotion. Many families send their children to private schools or schools in order to improve their children. And some poor families will also let their children go to school to steal things after school.

In ancient times, there were ways to go to school, such as self-study at home, entering a private school or opening an official school, and taking the imperial examination. The content of learning is mainly the four books and five classics, and ordinary people learn enlightenment books such as the three-character classics and the hundred family names. Students read, write, recite, recite and so on. Do it yourself according to the teacher's arrangement. Every examination cycle, every subject should be tested according to time and content.

Going to school in ancient times can be said to be an important part of China's traditional culture. It is precisely because of the ancients' pursuit and teaching of knowledge that classic cultures such as The Book of Songs and The Book of Rites can be passed down. In the history of China, the great progress of ancient politics, culture and economy was closely related to school education. Today, although the times are constantly changing, the learning spirit and fine traditions of the Chinese nation are still continuing.
