Practice in Education
教育实践
Practice was an important aspect of Xunzi's course of education, A student did not simply study ritual, he performed it. Xunzi recognized that this performative aspect was crucial to the goal of transforming one's nature. It was only through practice that one could realize the beauty of ritual, ideally coming to appreciate it for itself. Though this was the end of education, Xunzi appealed to more utilitarian motives to start the student on the program of study. As noted above, he discussed how desires would inevitably be frustrated in the state of nature. Organizing society through ritual was the only way people could ever satisfy even some of their desires, and study of ritual was the best way to achieve satisfaction on a personal level. Through study and practice，one could learn to appreciate ritual for its own sake, not just as a means to satisfy desires, ritual has this power to transform someone's motives and character.
实践是荀子的教育过程中的一个重要方面，学生不只是简单地学习礼仪，他们也在履行礼仪。荀子认为，这种履行对改造一个人的本性的目标是至关重要的。只有通过实践，人才能意识到礼仪之美，欣赏它的美。虽然这是教育的终结，荀子呼吁更多的功利主义者，投身于学习中。如上所述，他讨论了欲望会如何不可避免的在自然状态中受挫。通过礼仪组织社会是唯一人们可以不断满足自己的一些欲望的方式，和学习仪式是实现个人层面的满意度的最佳途径。通过学习和实践，为了自身的利益人们可以学会欣赏礼仪，而不是仅仅作为一种手段来满足欲望，礼仪有转换个人的动机和性格的力量。
