About the history of prenatal education

As for the history of prenatal education, we all know that prenatal education is very important and has a long history. Since ancient times, prenatal education has been an activity. Thus, the necessity of prenatal education. Let's take a look at the history of prenatal education, hoping to help everyone.

The history of prenatal education 1 It was China who first put forward the theory of prenatal education. There are theories about prenatal education in ancient books of philosophy, politics, literature, history, education, medicine and other disciplines (Figure 1-8). Looking up the earliest records of prenatal education in ancient books, we can confirm that China put forward prenatal education more than 1000 years earlier than Aristotle, a famous Greek scholar. For example, as early as 2 000 years ago, there was a discussion about "fetal disease" in Huangdi Neijing. In the Han Dynasty, a large number of records and expositions about prenatal education appeared in various books, and the theory of prenatal education was initially formed. At this point, foreign countries also admit that the birthplace of prenatal education is China. For example, 1987 From May 65438 to May 29, at the invitation of the Education Commission of the People's Republic of China, a delegation composed of Mr. Masaru Ibuka of the Japan Early Childhood Development Committee and Professor Dohuhui of Chiba University visited China for a period of 10 days. On May 2 1 In Beijing, Mr. Inoue gave a special speech on prenatal education, saying that prenatal education had spread in China in the Han Dynasty, and Zhu's article also contained information about prenatal education. In addition, Mr. Ibuka's monograph "Zero Age-the Best Period of Education", translated by Luo and Chen Naixuan and published in Beijing Daily, is also affirmed in this way.

Chen, a famous doctor in Song Dynasty, put forward the theory of prenatal education in his book Good Prescription and made a special discussion on it. In the Ming Dynasty, the theory of prenatal education was further improved and became a more systematic and comprehensive theory, which also had a great influence on the Qing Dynasty. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, Chen Menglei and others summarized the contents of prenatal education theory in the past dynasties when editing the Complete Works of the Integrated Medical Department of Ancient and Modern Books, making it a "door for unborn children" and included it in the pediatric volume for key discussion. Even in Datong Book written by Kang Youwei, a famous thinker in the late Qing Dynasty, there is the idea of establishing prenatal education centers, cultivating intelligent offspring and improving the quality of the population.

The special case record of prenatal education in cultivating outstanding talents is even more thought-provoking. For example, Historical Records records that Zhou Wenwang's mother Tairen was the first person to give prenatal education to her son in ancient China. According to historical records, Tairen is the mother of King Wen, and ... Tairen's nature makes her a sincere and kind person. They are pregnant, their eyes don't look at evil colors, their ears don't listen to lewd voices, and their mouths don't speak proudly, so prenatal education can be taught. ..... Wen Wangsheng is wise and knowledgeable. Sir, Tairen can give prenatal education. "That is to say, Tairen is Zhou Wenwang's mother. She is honest and solemn, and pays attention to virtue. When pregnant, my eyes don't look at indecent colors, my ears don't listen to obscene music, and I don't say arrogant words. In this way, she educated the fetus. Wen Tiansheng is clever. If you teach him too much, he can "draw inferences from others" and learn a lot at the same time. People say that Tae In is good at prenatal education.

The book Dai Li Ji records: "A week later, I became a king, standing without limping, sitting without complaining, laughing without revealing, being alone without complaining, and even though I was angry, prenatal education was also called." According to records, Wen Wang's grandson was also born through prenatal education. This means that when Zhou Chengwang's mother Wu Wang was pregnant with him, she was very particular about sitting posture. Although she was angry, she didn't swear. As a result, when she grew up, she became a king and she was very smart. It is precisely because the Zhou Dynasty cultivated ideal offspring through prenatal education and received satisfactory results. In order to make this method pass down and be imitated by future generations, the specific practice of prenatal education is specially set up as a warning to future generations. Quoted from Yan Jiaxun

In ancient China, besides some rulers, some thinkers, educators and doctors also attached great importance to prenatal education. For example, Mencius is a great thinker after Confucius. His mother once said, "I was pregnant when I was a child. If I don't sit up straight, if I don't cut well, I won't eat. It is also a kind of prenatal education. " That is, when you are pregnant, you don't even sit on the mat, you don't eat bad meat, and you have to give prenatal education to your child. Another example is Cao Pi, the Wei Wendi in the Three Kingdoms period, who also has a unique exposition on the "important role" of prenatal education. He compared his political achievements, personal life span and behavior with those of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with examples, and emphasized the important role of "prenatal education" in cultivating qualified and ideal kings.

There are many records of ancient educators attaching importance to prenatal education. For example, Yan Zhitui, a famous educator in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, listed the "Method of Prenatal Education" in the second chapter of "Family Instructions for Teaching Children". Zhu, a famous thinker and educator in the Southern Song Dynasty, advocated that human education should start from the womb in his educational monograph "Primary School". "Ancient women were pregnant, sleeping on their side, sitting on their side, standing upright, not eating evil, being upright and sitting upright. Eyes don't see evil colors, ears don't listen to lewd voices. You can recite poems at night and get down to business. Only in this way can the child be described correctly and stand out. " It means: pregnant women should eat, sleep, sit, watch and listen. Even at night, we should invite those who recite the Book of Songs and tell history to educate pregnant women so that the children born can be upright and outstanding. In essence, these are the specific requirements for pregnant women to carry out health care during pregnancy, enhance nutrition, provide a good external environment, and keep pregnant women in a good psychological state, thus having a positive impact on fetal development. They belong to clinical eugenics and environmental eugenics in eugenics.

In addition, Wang Chong, a famous naive materialist thinker in ancient China, also analyzed and discussed prenatal education. He put forward specific methods to educate the fetus through the influence of mother's psychological state on the fetus and the genetic effect of mother's moral cultivation and personality hobby on the fetus.

As for ancient physicians, they paid more attention to prenatal education. For example, Chao, a famous doctor in Sui Dynasty, Sun Simiao, the "King of Medicine" in Tang Dynasty, and Apollo, Guo and Wanquan in Ming Dynasty all expounded the contents and methods of prenatal education in their own works. Chen, a famous doctor in the Song Dynasty, emphasized in his book Women's All Prescriptions: "The book of prenatal education cannot be described as pedantic and faithless.

History of prenatal education II. Correct understanding of prenatal education

At present, there are many misunderstandings about prenatal education. Some people think that prenatal education is mysterious, incredible and out of reach. Some people don't believe in prenatal education at all, thinking that it is impossible to receive education if there are few fetuses and little spirit. This is because these people still don't understand the development and ability of the fetus. In fact, a five-month-old fetus has been able to receive education. But the education here is different from that after birth.

Mainly from the fetal sensory training, including touch, smell, hearing, vision, taste and limb movements.

The purpose of prenatal education is not to teach the fetus to sing, read and recover, but to promote the development and maturity of various sensory functions of the fetus through various appropriate and psychological information stimulation, so as to lay a good foundation for early pregnancy education after birth.

Of course, not all children who have received prenatal education are prodigies. We advocate prenatal education, not because it can cultivate prodigies, but because it can explore the individual's quality potential as soon as possible and give full play to the innate genetic factors of each fetus.

If prenatal education and army birth are well combined, I believe more children will overlap to the extent that people are' prodigies'.

A few people may say that there was no prenatal education before, so there were still scientists and great men. Isn't science also improving? There is nothing wrong with this statement. However, many facts have proved that the growth of scientists and great men is covered with factors of prenatal education and early education that were not realized at that time. If ethnic minorities can realize the importance of prenatal education earlier, the scientific level of the world may be more advanced than it is now.
