University characteristics

Universities aim at exploring, pursuing, defending and disseminating truth and knowledge, and have the mission of guiding social values and standardizing social behaviors, which has irreplaceable influence and promotion on the improvement of human quality and the development and progress of social civilization.

Modern universities originated from European medieval universities in 12 and 13 centuries. The fundamental difference of medieval universities lies in the transformation of university functions.
