Chinese school curricula deeply incorporate Confucian values such as ren (humaneness), li (proper conduct), and xiao (filial piety). Teachers act as moral cultivators rather than just instructors, guiding students to become ethical members of society through rituals, stories, andclassroom discipline. This tradition persists even as educational reforms modernize pedagogy. For instance, respect for the teacher’s role and collective harmony are imbued in class rules, morning assemblies, and holiday celebrations, shaping social attitudes well beyond academics.
