Abstract: Educational time refers to the time allocated, planned, and utilized in educational activities to achieve pedagogical objectives, which can be categorized into physical time, psychological time, and social time. Tao Xingzhi's concept of educational time, grounded in liberating human mind and body while cultivating creativity, serves as a rational response to the institutionalized time constraints of school systems and the temporal deprivation caused by social structures. In his educational practice, Tao Xingzhi developed an educational time perspective centered on“liberation” and “creativity”through the three pillars of “life education." This approach transformed time from a disciplinary tool into a creative catalyst, offering groundbreaking solutions to break free from temporal authoritarianism and restore education's authentic value. These insights provide valuable ideological resources and historical lessons for contemporary“life-practice” educational experiments in the new era.
