His works are not only the summary and criticism of pre-Qin scholars' thoughts,but also one of the most important sources of the academic research of the Han Dynasty. His educational thought is based on his evil-character theory. He emphasizes long-term morality cultivation in order to build a society of harmony and peace. His academic thought reminds us that attention should be paid to realization of both students' personal and social value in the instruction of the university and that efforts should be made to help them build a spiritual Eden. In addition,Tsunzi's wisdom in management is also beneficial to the university administrators.
