Extended information:
The characteristics of "Six Arts" education are to pay equal attention to literature and martial arts, to pursue both knowledge and ability, and to pay attention to age differences and subject levels to differentiate education. Among the "six arts", etiquette, music, archery, and horsemanship are called "great arts". They are essential skills for nobles to engage in politics and must be studied in depth at the university level. Books and mathematics are called "small arts", which are needed for people's daily life and are compulsory courses at the primary school level.
At that time, the children of the common people were only given education in "small arts", while only the children of nobles could receive a complete education in the "six arts" and complete the systematic process from "small arts" to "big arts". The "Six Arts" serve class needs, but they also reflect the universal laws of education and have a profound impact on future generations.
