In the research of educational wisdom, educational wisdom is connected with teacher's quality and excellent education. When it is connected with teachers' quality, educational wisdom is means to educational power, educational dharma, educational tacit and educational horizon. But all of these are teacher's wisdom basically and are not educational wisdom. When it is connected with excellent education, educational wisdom is that what is demanded for creating excellent education. For some researchers, educational wisdom is found only in excellent education. This is because that education without educational wisdom and no using of educational wisdom cannot be excellence. Of course, every researcher has different concept of excellent education. In my opinion, excellent education is that education contents with the claim of educational essence. As the findings from excellent education, educational wisdom is an understanding of educational essence.Similar to the judgment of excellent education that demands all-round norms, the judgment of educational wisdom would master all elements of it. But this is not the awareness of all judgments. In fact, it is justified by two teaching cases in this paper that educational scientific wisdom is usually forgot and excluded outsiders of educational wisdom. As we known, excellent education has to follow educational rules and understanding of educational essence must have scientific understanding. Therefore, it is unreasonable to forget educational scientific wisdom. Moreover, besides scientific understanding, understanding of educational essence demands practical understanding and aesthetic understanding. In this way, educational wisdom is a whole that is composed of educational theory wisdom that is oriented to truth, educational practical wisdom that is oriented to good and educational craft that oriented to beauty.Educational wisdom can be public and broke away education textual creator, because educational wisdom can be obtained from reading and understanding of educational text. In the theory of understanding, understanding has epistemological meaning, methodological meaning and ontological meaning. Accordingly, in epistemology, educational wisdom is the educational subjects' broad educational horizon, an educational sympathy-understanding, and a generating pedagogical understanding. In methodology, educational wisdom is an inward thorough and backtrack origin, a holistic mastering process and a generating process of personal educational knowledge. In ontology, educational wisdom pervades educational world, projects and realizes the meaning of life, and aware of self.As an understanding of educational essence, educational wisdom is based on the subject educational understanding because all understanding is a subject anticipating activity. Educational understanding is a life process that is focused on educational meaning, based on feeling experience, oriented to a correct self-assessment and a thinking process that is called a relation thinking that is systemic thinking, generating think and embodied thinking. With educational process, it is produced constantly and form it special structure. Moreover, assimilating and estranging, time-distance, and hermeneutic experience contribute to educational understanding.
