According to the election records of New Tang Book, all six schools were transferred from imperial academy: Guo Zixue, with 300 students, is the son of a great-great-grandson with a third-class or above, from the sons of two scholars with a third-class or above, a county magistrate and a Beijing official; Imperial academy, a student with 500 students, is a descendant of more than five grades, a great-grandson of a career official with three grades in the period of five grades, and a seal of a meritorious official with more than three grades; Four schools, 1300 students, of whom 500 were awarded the medal of honor above the third class, 4 were awarded the seal, 7 were awarded both civil and military skills, and 800 were awarded the handsome and different people in Shu Ren; Law, 50 students, calligraphy, 30 students, arithmetic, 30 students, with the following eight grades and Shu Ren scholars as their subjects. There are 80 people in Kyoto, 60 in Dadu, Zhongdu and Shangzhou, 50 in Xiadu and Zhongzhou, 40 in Zhou Xia, 50 in Jingxian, 40 in Shangxian, 35 in Zhongxian and Xiaxian and 20 in Xiaxian. When imperial academy was born, the ministers saved and supplemented, and the wine festival was unified. The long history is the main reason for the state and county students and state and county officials. There are schools in all counties. How can we say that we don't attach importance to education?
Song Dynasty: imperial academy: When the three-court system was implemented, imperial academy began to give birth to two thousand students, three hundred students and one hundred students. In the first year of Chongning: "There are two professors in the state and two primary schools in the county. There are schools in every county.
During the Yuan Dynasty, education was really ignored, and Confucian scholars ranked ninth. However, this is a barbarian dynasty with no culture at all.
Let alone the Ming dynasty. As far as the county annals of my hometown are concerned, there are 30 students in the county school (I guess it may be the fault of the students here, and it is unlikely that there will be 30 scholars in such a remote county at that time), including 5 military households. Every month, we donate 3 cents to 7 yuan and have more than 60 acres of land. This is a very remote county in Guizhou, not in the south of the Central Plains.
The above are government-run schools, as well as various academies, self-built schools and ethnology established by families. In our example, Hu didn't mean to find a museum to sit in, but to refer to private schools such as Mongolian studies and ethnology.
Therefore, it is unreasonable to say that China did not attach importance to education in ancient times. As for the reason why you say that universities are not as old as foreign countries, I personally think that the ancient education system is different from now. The current education system comes from the west, only 65,438+000 years. The universities produced by the western education system will not last long. . Second, ancient academies (many people think that the China ancient school closest to the university) often closed down due to the change of dynasties, but some, such as Yuelu Academy, failed to be transformed into a modern university in modern times.
My humble opinion, for reference.
