What is the significance of the development of Gong Xue in Xia Ji to the education at that time?
Gong Xue, Xia Ji is a unique government-run institution of higher learning in the Warring States Period, which is the product of the reform of the old government-run schools. Its establishment opened a new chapter in the history of pre-Qin education. Its large scale, long duration, distinctive features and outstanding achievements can be called a miracle in the history of Chinese civilization. Its form of public-private cooperation can be described as a great innovation in the history of education in China. Its birth enabled the lack of official institutions of higher learning in imperial academy from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty to link up. Mr. Xia Ji's works have been handed down from generation to generation, among which Guanzi is a treasure in China's cultural treasure house, and Disciple's Rules is the first relatively complete student code in the history of education in China, which has become the blueprint for the formulation of learning rules and regulations in ancient academies and official schools. It is the first time in the history of China that the school adopts the policy of multi-family attraction, inclusiveness and academic freedom. The "regular meeting" system initiated by him has also become the origin of the "stressing society" system in the academy, which has had a far-reaching impact on the teaching forms such as free lectures, straight to the point and debate in the academy. The teaching in Gong Xue, Xia Ji has achieved fruitful results and trained a large number of academic and artistic talents. Gong Xue, Xia Ji is a gathering place of elite culture, which contains the highest level of cultural heritage and some pioneering and innovative cultural achievements in the diversified scientific and technological fields of that era.
