ABSTRACT

The concept of "edification" has been defined in different ways at different times. Broadly speaking, edification refers to the process of educating members of the society on political, ethical, moral and legal norms through school education, family education, public education and legal discipline for the purpose of integrating social behaviors of the state; narrowly speaking, edification refers to the process of educating the people on Confucianism with the core of "rites" by the rulers of the traditional society. The characteristics of edification are mainly manifested in the official nature of the main body, the systematic nature of the pathway, the object of the whole population, the supremacy of moral education. The concepts of edification and education, ideological and political education, moral education and ethical education need to be strictly distinguished.
