Abstract: A century ago, Mr. Tao Xingzhi created the "Life Education" theory in response to the statusquo of Chinese education at the time, offering a radical solution to the outdated and rigid educationalpractices. This marked the beginning of research on Tao Xingzhi. Previous studies primarily expounded on theconnotations of the three fundamental laws of life education: "Life Is Education," "Society Is School," and"Unity of Teaching, Learning, and Practicing." Since the beginning of the 21st century, researchers andfrontline teachers have gained insights and summarized richer and more valuable content of life education fromTao Xingzhi's own discourses and educational practice, achieving new breakthroughs in its theoreticalconnotations, practical pathways, and contemporary values. Currently, in the face of new challenges arisingfrom curriculum reforms, the theory of life education remains key to addressing them. In guiding educationalreforms and development in the new era, Tao Xingzhi's theory of life education still possesses strong vitality.
