Peking University is not only one of the current leaders, but also the highest institution of learning in China at that time. Its school-running tenet is "middle school as the body, western learning as the application", which is an educational reform to seek new ways and maintain rule under the internal and external troubles. In fact, although Ta was born with a halo, it still experienced multiple hardships. The sufferings given by this era, such as the "1898 coup", the Boxer Rebellion and Eight-Nation Alliance's occupation of Beijing, also fell on it.
It fell down and stood up again. On May 4th 19 12, I changed my vest, which is Peking University, and it has always been labeled as the top academic. During this period, it also had a prefix, which was called "National Peking University" and became the first comprehensive university established by the central government in China. "It's easier to do than to do" is its earliest school motto, and this principle runs through it throughout its development.
Words seem to be far from the point, so since some people doubt whether the earliest modern university in China is Peking University, there must be something wrong! Its predecessor, Shi Jing University Hall, was founded in 1898 and is the first national university in China. It stands to reason that the first one didn't run, but he still killed a "journey"-Beiyang University.
Beiyang University was founded in 1895 and 10.02, three years earlier than Shi Jing University ... Sorry, the title of the first modern university in modern China, hahaha. Beiyang University also has many names. The names of Beiyang Western School and Beiyang University Hall can reflect the characteristics of the times, that is, the spread of western learning to the east is a manifestation of the decline of learning from the West in the Qing Dynasty. The prestige of the kingdom of heaven in the imperial court became more and more embarrassing in the late Qing Dynasty, and "being behind will be beaten" is a wise saying.
Beiyang University may not know many people, but Tianjin University should know some. Learn about 985,211,which is its continuation. 195 1 year, Beiyang University and Hebei Polytechnic University jointly established Tianjin University.
Now we know that Beiyang University is the first modern university in China, and "first" naturally has different times significance. Its establishment marked that modern education entered the historical stage and ended the history of feudal education (imperial academy and imperial academy) for more than 1000 years. In addition, it set an example for the initial stage of China's higher education system, promoted the birth of modern academic system, and pioneered China's modern higher education. Courses are divided into first-class schools and second-class schools. Among them, engineering, electricity, mining, mechanics and law all embody the pragmatic style of study of "seeking truth from facts". In addition, there are English, mathematics, reading aloud, history review of various countries, geography, geography books and plane mapping.
Beiyang University also has a great relationship with a famous person. Sheng Xuanhuai, the first inspector and founder of Beiyang University Hall (originally named Tianjin Beiyang Western School). Therefore, Sheng Xuanhuai is not only the "father of China industry", "father of China investment promotion", but also the "father of China higher education".
