What is the earliest preschool education institution in China?
1in the autumn of 903, Governor Duan Fang of Hubei Province and Governor Hu Huguang, according to the articles of association formulated by Zhang Zhidong, ordered the allocation of official funds to set up a kindergarten in Wuchang cavalry training ground, the provincial capital. This is the first kindergarten in Hubei and China (1904 was renamed Wuchang Nursing Home by the Qing government), and it is the first kindergarten education in China. At that time, the national crisis was deep, and the voice of saving the nation from extinction resounded through China. Some advanced figures have sought the truth of saving the nation from the west, and the western education system has become an important part of their study. Under the impetus of the Reform Movement of 1898, "learning from foreigners to control foreigners" has become a trend, and the idea of "public education to raise children" has also been put forward. In order to meet the requirements of people's reform and maintain feudal rule, Hu Guang, the governor of the Qing government, founded "Hubei Kindergarten". Later, nursing homes were established in Changsha, Beijing and Shanghai. At that time, these early childhood education institutions completely copied Japan, showing the characteristics of semi-colonial and semi-feudal education.
