Features: China has long been a nation of humanities, with a long-standing tradition of humanistic education. The ancients said: "Civilization should be restrained, and this is what human culture is. Observe the celestial arts to understand changes in time, observe human culture to transform the world." This tradition has endured for thousands of years without interruption. Now, we should pay greater attention to the education of the humanities and uphold humanistic values. The humanities teach us what true freedom is, what the wisdom of life is. Only through such disciplines can we contemplate the purpose, meaning, and value of life, thereby establishing an ideal personality and goals, and being willing to strive for them lifelong. The goal of humanities education is to develop human nature, perfect personality, and provide correct values or theories of meaning, guiding society to establish proper humanistic values.
