Historical facts and comments:
Confucius believed that the best learning method should be likethis: First, one should study well and review from time to timewhat one has learnt, and then try to discover and perceivesomething new from the old knowledge and set out to master the new.That was also a method Confucius had been applying to his ownteaching throughout his teaching career, and it still makes sensetoday.
