Abstract

The research is based on the scientific idea that the value orientations of youth are dynamic, therefore their study is relevant at any period of time, therefore it is important to study trends and their transformation in the development of the value foundations of upbringing in order to solve the most complex problems of personality upbringing. Research methods: theoretical analysis, synthesis,
generalization of facts, events, phenomena; discursive analysis of the value foundations of education in different historical periods; methods of systematizing and generalizing the theory and practice of educating youth in China; survey, questionnaires, statistical methods. The main results of the study: on the basis of the periodization of this process in China, the genesis (stages) of the value foundations of youth upbringing was determined, an analysis of the leading trends, achievements and contradictions in the study period was carried out, the characteristics were substantiated and the transformation of the development of value orientations of youth at each of their stages was revealed. Thus, the historical and pedagogical analysis of the value foundations of the education of young people in China allowed us to come to the following general conclusions: the goal of education was transformed from an orientation towards strengthening the moral foundations of citizens, towards the integration of morality and knowledge/skills - towards the education of morally stable and educated people. The modern values of educating young people in China represent a dualism of values: traditions and modernization, preservation and transformation, a symbiosis of Chinese folk and international culture. Of great interest to science is the phenomenon of "stability", where for many decades in China there has been a fundamental and stable value foundations of the education of young people who do not differ from the actions of the individual, demonstrate exceptional ability to work, citizenship, reverence and respect for elders, law-abidingness, and certain moral qualities. All this requires a deeper study and the identification of effective means of their formation and development.
