Features: "The rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of every citizen; the responsibility of a nation lies in education first." As we stand at the threshold of the 21st century and look back, the history of human civilization can be said to be a history of educational development. The connotation, methods, systems, and achievements of education have become a "key" to deciphering the history of humanity. Whether it is understanding the special role of the "ethical and educational perspective" in the formation of the historical unification of China, or reflecting on the alienation of teachers and classrooms by the papacy and religious authority during the "Dark Ages" in the West, starting from education often leads to unique discoveries about the direction of history. As we stand at the threshold of the 21st century and look ahead, the common future of the "global village" will still be closely tied to education, inseparable for a moment. Whether it is the innovation and transformation of traditional and school education, or the rise and development of online and distance education, the philosophy of "education for all," "cultivating people," and "people-centered governance" has become a consensus across Eastern and Western politics, economics, and cultures. The harmonious development of human material civilization, political civilization, and spiritual civilization is the ultimate goal of humanity.
