According to the manuscript of "Nanyang Public School Established by Sheng Xuanhuai" provided by the History Research Office of Shanghai Jiaotong University (the predecessor of Xi 'an Jiaotong University), 1896, 10 June, Sheng Xuanhuai left Tianjin Customs Road and transferred to the supervision of the railway head office. 1896 at the end of June, Sheng Xuanhuai moved to Shanghai. " , "at the age of 30, he was awarded the title of Shao Qing of Taichang Temple. On the second day after he was awarded the title (it should be 65438+1October 3 1), he played "Chen Ziqiang's Great Plan" for the first time, and proposed that training, financial management and education were the basis of self-improvement. In the attached compromise, he believes that there are many western talents, all of which come from the cultivation of schools, and reports that he is preparing to build Nanyang Public School in Shanghai with Beiyang University as a reference. " "1897 65438+ 10, Sheng Xuanhuai, eager to run a school, once again proposed to establish Nanyang Public School in Shanghai. He thinks that Beijing is a place where talents gather and Shanghai is a place where Chinese and foreign trade fairs are held. Therefore, the Government should realize that running schools in these two places will have a long-term impact on China. Sheng Xuanhuai asked to open a new school in Beijing and Shanghai first, hoping that Shanghai Nanyang College would become a new school specialized in training officials and businessmen, aiming at training practical talents like Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang. In the same month, Sheng Xuanhuai's memorial was finally officially approved by the Qing government: "The yamen knows this and respects it. "Soon, Nanyang Public School was established, and Shanghai Xujiahui was finally chosen as the school site."
