Shi Jing University, founded on July 3, 1998, is the earliest national comprehensive university in modern China and the predecessor of Peking University. It belongs to one of the "New Deal" of the Reform Movement of 1898. The principle of running a school is: taking China's traditional disciplines as the main body, introducing some western disciplines, and forming the course content of combining Chinese and western. 1898, the Qing government formulated the Constitution of Shi Jing University, which stipulated that Shi Jing University could be divided into general studies and specialized studies. At the same time, there are normal schools, compilation bureaus and other departments. After the "1898 coup", the Boxer Rebellion, Eight-Nation Alliance's occupation of Beijing and other changes, Shi Jing University Hall was repeatedly destroyed and closed. 190 1 year, the Qing government rebuilt Shi Jing University Hall, which was divided into "official school" and "normal school". 19 12 in may, Shi Jing university hall was renamed as the national Peking University, which was the first university named after "national" in the history of China.

The establishment of Shi Jing University Hall is a symbol of the modernization of higher education in China. Its greatest feature is the introduction of western capitalist civilization and modern science and culture on the basis of inheriting China's ancient civilization. Its school-running policy follows the principle of "taking middle school as the body and western learning as the application", emphasizing "paying equal attention to Chinese and western learning" to ensure that the two can be "interlinked" and indispensable. For western learning, it is emphasized that western learning is only "one school", not "the whole school"; Only western languages are regarded as "the origin of western learning" instead of "the end of western learning". Following the example of western capitalist countries, the courses are divided into two categories: general subjects are compulsory courses for all students, including Confucian classics, science, anecdotes, philosophers, elementary arithmetic, intelligence, politics, geography, literature and gymnastics. Students can choose one or two professional subjects, including advanced mathematics, geography, politics, geography, agriculture and mining, engineering, business, military science, health and other subjects. In addition, there are five foreign languages: English, French, Russian, German and Japanese. Students under the age of 30 must take a foreign language. People over 30 can be exempted from this course.
