International Journal of Education and Literacy Studies, v13 n2 p436-441 2025
The objectives of this research are to explore (i) the history and development of the Chen family's ancestral knowledge transmission hall, and (ii) the process of transmitting knowledge and ethics, by studying documents and collecting field data through surveys, interviews, observations, group discussions, and workshops. From a group of 30 people providing information, the analysis was based on the objectives, and the results were presented in a descriptive, analytical manner. The research results found that: (i) Luozhou Ancient City, in Fuzhou is a commercial area, so people come here to meet. With its economic prosperity, it set up a system of governance that supported the king and the people, with a moral education system as the basis of knowledge. The knowledge screening system included an examination process to select knowledgeable people to enter civil service. This original system was adjusted during the Qing Dynasty to be universal. (ii) Confucius is a philosopher who has played a role in the foundation of knowledge and morality of philosophers of other schools. The main content of the philosophy is honesty, respect, kindness, gratitude, forgiveness and trustworthiness towards parents, family and friends. In summary, this research reflects the importance of education for Chinese people in the past and present. Even though education is modern, moral knowledge and ethics are still necessary for people in Chinese society
