Jixia Academy, also known as Jixia Academy. The establishment of Xia Ji Gong Xue is an important event in the cultural history of China. We often say that university education in China is underdeveloped. This is a rare and spectacular event in the history of China's academic thought? A hundred schools of thought contend? , centered on the State of Qi, Ji Xia Xuegong, and the official study is the study of Huang Lao. As the center of academic contention of a hundred schools of thought at that time, it effectively contributed to the formation of academic contention in the world. During this period, academic works came out one after another. There are pine nuts, Tian Zi, nests and mesons. , is now dead. Western universities often have a history of hundreds of years. The Athens College founded by Plato, an ancient Greek thinker, is regarded as the prototype and foundation of western universities. Is there a similar university in our history? Of course, from the scale of running a school and the level of scientific research, it far exceeds the Athens College in ancient Greece. This is the famous Xia Ji Gong Xue.
During the Warring States period, the war for hegemony or survival made the competition for talents more intense. In order to compete for talents in the world, Qi established a university outside Jiyumen, the capital of Qi. This university is called Xia Ji College. Xia Ji University is a national think tank integrating teaching, scientific research and policy consultation, which is equivalent to the current National Academy of Social Sciences. Its founder is Qi Huangong. Note: This Duke of Qi is not the first overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period, but surnamed Tian and Wu. Historically, he was also called Qi Huangong to avoid illness and medical care.
After the establishment of Jixia Academy, scholars from almost all schools came to teach, study and debate. Confucianism is more powerful. After Mencius came here, he stayed in Jixia Academy, taught himself Confucianism, and received a large number of disciples. It is said that Mencius' school scale ranks third in Qixia Academy. Xunzi is also a great scholar after Mencius. Three-time Dean of Jixia Academy.
Legalists have Shinto, but God is not the sea, while Taoists have the famous Tiankoupian and Tianpian. He was a master of debate at that time, and a thinker who could explain heaven with one mouth. Zou Yan, a master of Yin and Yang, is also a famous debater. Chunyu Kun is the most famous and outstanding thinker in China. Chunyukun is short and ugly, but he is very humorous. He was a famous master of crosstalk language at that time. His class is the most popular in Xia Ji College, with thousands of students. However, the debating master could not argue with Mencius.
In addition to academic debates, Qixia Academy also undertook the task of consulting Qi's policies. Experts from Jixia Academy don't need to work in the government, but they have the right to express their opinions on Qi's political, economic and foreign policies. If they do a good job, the State of Qi will give them a big official position, which is equivalent to the level of deputy prime minister and has considerable power. The emergence of Xia Ji School is not only the inevitable result of fierce talent competition in the Warring States period, but also a pioneer who is good at innovation in the cultural and educational undertakings of Qi State. Xia Ji University is the first public and private institution of higher learning in the world. It greatly promoted the contention and integration of various schools in the Warring States period and greatly promoted the formation of academic contention in the world! China in the Axis Age has made great contributions to world culture!
Finally, I want to say that Xia Ji Gong Xue can recover, but it is not easy to recover this spirit. We need to keep working hard.
