Development history

Professor is a title in the higher education system. This office was established in the universities of Han and Tang Dynasties in China. In the context of modern Chinese and Japanese, it is often used as a synonym for the word "professor" in English, which refers to a senior teacher who teaches in a modern higher education institution (such as a university or community college). China Han Tang Imperial College has doctors to teach students. The doctor is the later professor. In the Song Dynasty, central and local schools began to set up professors. In the Yuan Dynasty, there were Confucian professors in state capitals, and there were Confucian professors in official schools in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After the establishment of the new school in the late Qing Dynasty, the university set up full-time faculty and associate faculty. 19 12, the Ministry of Education of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China promulgated the University Order, which stipulated that universities should have professors and assistant professors. 19 17 revised the university order, stipulating that universities should have full professors, professors and assistant professors. 1924 university constitution abolished the post of assistant professor. 1927 The Regulations on the Qualification of University Teachers promulgated by the Education Administration Committee of the Kuomintang government began to stipulate that university teachers are divided into four grades: professors, associate professors, lecturers and teaching assistants. People's Republic of China (PRC) has remained unchanged since its establishment. Professor originally meant to impart knowledge, lecture and teach, but later he became a scholar. After the Han and Tang dynasties, there were professors in schools at all levels, who were responsible for the specific affairs of school examinations.
