Abstract

Confucius (551- 479 BC) was a great thinker not only of China but of all mankind. He was honored as the "Master of the Universe" representing "eternal teacher". His teachings and conversation process with teachers and students have been collected and edited by students into the Analects, one of the Confucian classics widely used in building feudal state governments in China and Vietnam. In recent years, the Party and State of Vietnam have implemented many undertakings and policies aimed at building, developing and renovating education and training. Along with access to knowledge, and advanced and modern lessons from the West, Confucius's educational thought continues to be recognized and properly appreciated. Our research paper aims to show the application and reception of Confucius' educational ideas in current Vietnamese educational practice.
