“学而优则仕”的敎學思想硏究

Abstract

'Xueeryouzeshi' represents the teaching and learning ideology of the Warring County Period, and, at the same time, it has a political implication. This political implication was developed by a Confucian scholar's 'Neishengwaiwang', and it naturally made it possible to create a connectivity between politics and education. The connectivity cultivated between politics and education centering on the axis of political, academic interpretation, came to be shown as a state system while specifically extended through the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, research into the teaching and learning ideology of 'Xueeryouzeshi' may be an analysis of the view of values between the right faith and the temptation to gain personal success within a ruler, which had been thought about seriously in a Confucian scholar's ideology, traditionally. Furthermore, it enables the identification of the level of the basis and of the moral cultivation as to how a ruler would respond to classical scholars. Ultimately, research into the teaching and learning ideology may be to clarify the perceived self-retrospect of a ruler and the principle concerning those who are subjected to rule. In addition, it was discovered that 'teaching' and 'learning' may be meaningfully involved in creating a political ideology. This study focused on the way in which the meaning of 'Xueeryouzeshi' in ancient China has consistently affected the later generations owing to the connectivity between political ideology and teaching and learning ideology in terms of sharing the same era. In this process, it was meaningful in light of the era that a Confucian scholar's ideology can be properly applied, not only in personal cultivation but also in social fields, and the interpretation and application of 'Xueeryouzeshi' in consideration of the era will be able to offer the academic value of this study.
