In a word, it is "the way of university". What does this "university" mean?
The way of university: the purpose of university. The word "university" had two meanings in ancient times:

One means "learned".

The second is "adult learning" relative to primary schools. At the age of eight, the ancients entered primary schools to learn the basic knowledge of cultural etiquette, and at the age of fifteen, they entered universities to learn ethics, politics, philosophy and other knowledge of "being poor means benevolence, self-cultivation and family harmony".

So the "university" here is learned.

Types of schools implementing higher education.

Universities (colleges) are a kind of schools that implement higher education, including comprehensive universities, specialized universities and colleges. It is an organization with unique functions, an institution of higher learning that inherits, studies, integrates and innovates advanced academic knowledge, and is interrelated with social, economic and political institutions.

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

Universities have a history of thousands of years. At first, it mainly developed from Germany, Britain and other countries. Modern universities in China originated in the West, which evolved from European medieval universities, British universities, German universities and then American universities. No matter what era the university is, it is a creative inheritance rather than a denial of previous universities.
