As a concrete concept, "University" originally refers to an ancient academic system. The educational system of the Zhou Dynasty was divided into two stages: primary school and university. "Li Ji of the Great Generation" records: "The ancients left home at the age of eight to learn small arts and do small jobs. I went to college with a bunch of hair, studied great art and performed great festivals. " Zhu pointed out from the comparison between "university" and "primary school" that he entered primary school at the age of 8.

I learned basic cultural knowledge and basic etiquette such as "sweeping, coping, advancing and retreating", "ritual, music, shooting, imperial, calligraphy and counting". When I entered the university at the age of fifteen, I taught the principles of poverty, honesty, self-cultivation and governing the country, that is, learning how to participate in social management and national politics. This is a study of politics. In ancient China, "University" was generally written as "Imperial College" and was an institution of ancient higher education.
