Ancient Chinese Schools
古代中国的学校
Ever since ancient times，schools have been the primary means of cultivating talents, though schools are not the only form of education. What sort of talents can be trained by schools depends on the nature and type of school and its purpose and content as well as the method of education，in addition to the coordination of the whole society and the practice and hard work of those being taught. In ancient China，there existed two types of school, operated either by government or individuals. Over the course of history, at times one type might predominate over the other, but mostly they complemented each other, and both accumulated rich experience as providers of education.
自远古时代起，学校一直是培养人才的主要手段，但学校不是教育的唯一形式。什么样的人才可以通过学校进行培训，取决于学校的目的和内容的性质和类型，以及教育的方法，除了对整个社会的协调和也是对实践和努力工作的教导。在中国古代，存在着两种类型的学校，这两种由政府或个人经营。在历史的长河中，有时一种可能凌驾于另一种之上，但多数情况下它们相互补充，作为教育的提供者都积累了丰富的经验。
