Abstract
Tao Xingzhi is a great people's educator and the founder of the democratic education system in China. This paper aims to provide the essence of Tao Xingzhi's democratic education system for contemporary education through three parts: the formation of Tao Xingzhi's democratic education thought, the interpretation of its core, and its influence on contemporary society. Tao Xingzhi's system of democratic educational thought not only embodies the traditional Chinese national spirit, but also reflects the spirit of the times that is most needed in China's education. As a pioneer in the field of democratic education in China, Tao Xingzhi gave democratic education a profound connotation and presented it to the public through real-life practice. Therefore, a correct understanding and grasp of the core of democratic education is of great significance to the development of today's democratic society. It is worthwhile for the whole society to explore the specific strategies and ways to promote the construction of a democratic society through democratic education.
