In ancient Egypt, one of the functions of Pharaoh's Temple was to impart knowledge and research academics, and Pythagoras, a famous ancient Greek scholar, studied here. These temples are a bit like imperial academy in China, which is the highest institution of learning in China. During the period of Confucius and Pythagoras, there was no big difference between the eastern and western thoughts on higher education, and the importance of preaching and teaching was higher than that of teaching. As students, they follow their teachers not only to learn how to make a living. For example, Zi Gong, a disciple of Confucius, made a living by doing business, but what he learned from Confucius was how to become a scholar. Dong Zhongshu, a famous thinker, suggested to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "May your majesty build imperial academy and make a master to support the people of the world." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted his suggestion and set up imperial academy in Chang 'an.
The Birth of Modern Universities The word "university university" we are talking about today originated from Latin universities in the past, which means that a group including teachers and students is protected by a contract recognized by the lords. The management of this group (such as enrollment conditions, hiring teachers, and the recognition of students' completion of their studies) is independent of local jurisdiction.
Universities are more than just schools that impart knowledge and skills. This is where the academic freedom we are talking about today comes from. 1 170, an important university was founded in Paris, which is the University of Paris. This university has not only become one of the most famous universities in Europe, but also the most famous university in Europe, and has the reputation of "the mother of universities". Modern universities started from this and began to flourish.
