Xunzi's doctrine of sexual evil believes that human nature is the best and needs to be reformed through education and etiquette. This is a direct opposite of Mencius's doctrine of sexual goodness, which on the surface seems to Xunzi to underestimate people, but in fact it is the opposite. Xunzi's philosophy can be said to be the philosophy of upbringing, and his general thesis is that everything that is good and valuable is the product of human efforts. Value comes from culture, and culture is the creation of people. It is in this regard that man is of equal importance in the universe as heaven and earth.

At the same time, Xunzi also advocated regulating people's behavior through etiquette, so that people could abide by moral norms and maintain social order. Xunzi's philosophy of parenting is not only a theory, but also a practice. He paid attention to practice and emphasized proving his doctrine with practical actions. In his educational practice, he pays attention to teaching students according to their aptitude and carries out personalized education according to the different characteristics of students. At the same time, he also pays attention to the practicality and effectiveness of education, believing that education should enable people to better adapt to society and life.
