University is a kind of school that implements higher education and an organization with unique functions. It has a history of thousands of years since it came into being. Another meaning is that "University" is an essay on the Confucian thoughts of self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world. It is said that it was written by Ceng Zi in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In fact, it is a Confucian work in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and it is an important work for China to discuss educational theory in ancient times.

University is not only the product of the development of human culture to a certain stage, but also a unique culture gradually formed through historical accumulation, self-efforts and the influence of external environment on the basis of long-term school-running practice.

The word "university" comes from the Latin Universitas Magistorum et scholium, which roughly means "the community of teachers and scholars". The modern university system has always been in the University of Eugen in the Middle Ages, which was established and evolved from the cathedral school in Italy in the Middle Ages.

The origin of the university:

Modern universities directly originated from European medieval universities in 12 and 13 centuries. Ancient Egypt, India and China were the cradles of higher education, and ancient Greece, Rome, Byzantium and Arab countries all established relatively perfect and developed higher education systems. Although many educational historians also call these local institutions of higher learning universities, strictly speaking, they are not real universities.

1088, Italy established the first regular university-Bologna University, which is the most famous research center of Roman law in Europe. Subsequently, universities appeared all over Europe. The University of Paris evolved from the school affiliated to Notre Dame de Paris. 1200, the king of France recognized the scholars of Paris University as having legal clergy qualifications and judicial immunity.
