Yew Chung College of Early Childhood Education (YCCECE) proudly announces the debut of the new Mengxue Story Book Series. This series is developed under the guidance of Professor Shi Ping, Director of the Chor Hang Educational Research Institute (CHERI). CHERI was established in 2016, it serves as the College's second independent research center, following the establishment of the Mengxue Institute in 2022.
Yew Chung is a school that cultivates whole person through moral training, self-cultivation, and socialization, cultivating them to become the benevolent person with a Confucius-envisioned position in the global community (Stephanie, 2022). The founder of Yew Chung, Madam Tsang, inspired children and staff to adhere to Chinese virtues of “diligence, frugality, humility and faithfulness.”
Effectively implementing such a philosophy in early childhood education involves reinterpreting traditional Mengxue materials and equipping the next generation with modern educational thinking. Mengxue originated in the Song dynasty and flourished during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It has been rooted in family and clan-based education for over a millennium. To adapt it to the needs of today's society and young children, we carefully select relevant materials and use children's real-life stories to illustrate Chinese traditional culture and values that are integral to their lives.
