Abstract
The essence of education is an old topic. It is not only a theoretical problem, but also a practical problem. The essence of education is directly related to the answer to “What is education?”, and how to answer “What is education?” directly determines the way and content of education. On this basis, the statements about the nature of education also guide and standardize people’s educational concepts and behaviors (Shi, 2018). It can be said that human beings have been thinking about this issue since they have had educational practices. After the independence of the educational discipline, the discussion about the essence of education has become a basic problem of pedagogy. Scholars try to find answers to other specific educational questions by solving “What is education?”
