中国自古以来就重视宫廷教育,明代又多有小皇帝,对少年天子的教育尤其重视。教育的目的是造就一代贤明君主,然而在高度集权的封建专制体制中,面对至高无上的皇权又往往失效,张居正对少年天子教育的失败就是典型的一例。 China has attached great importance to court education since ancient times, and there are more emperors in the Ming Dynasty, paying particular attention to the education of the young emperor. The purpose of education is to create a generation of wise monarchs. However, in the highly centralized feudal autocratic system, the failure of the supreme imperial power often fails, and Zhang Juzheng’s failure to educate the boy and his son is a typical example.
