Social university is a full-time university at present, but it is not a university in the traditional sense. It is just a metaphor, comparing the broad society to an all-inclusive university.

Social university should be the mainstream and core of education in a person's life, and university education or other forms of education under the formal system are auxiliary and perfect.

Social university is a subconscious university and a learning environment that functions in an unorganized form, which is one of the differences between it and university education under the formal system. Social university is based on human survival and development to spur people to learn. So what they learn in the social university is the most practical and effective. Similarly, for entrepreneurship, it is also a process from scratch to development and then to maturity. Survival and development are also the foundation of its existence, which requires our entrepreneurs not only to cultivate their own learning ability, but also to transform it into enterprise learning ability. However, learning in this social university is divided into "forward learning" and "backward learning".
