Chapter 524: The First Academy
On the morning of July 1, 1910, Xiao Yang, Minister of the Cabinet, and Ji Wenfeng, Minister of Education, came to the Qinzheng Hall of the Xiyuan Imperial Palace in Beijing, the office of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiao Yang said: "Your Majesty, in response to the educational reform since the founding of the People's Republic of China, all provinces in the country have responded positively, and have successively established a number of popular primary schools, some middle schools, and 15 universities in a directional manner.
There is an increasing trend in the enrollment of these schools. However, due to the uneven standard of living in various places, Weichen suggested whether it is possible to allocate a fund to support education to help some poor areas and children from poor families to be able to read. ”
Chen Zhong nodded and said: "Premier Xiao's suggestion is very good, I want our children in the Chinese Empire to study." I have decided to allocate 200 million yuan to support some students from poor families.
Minister Ji, you immediately organize people to draft a plan for the operation of the education fund, and in addition, Premier Xiao, you ask Song Wenqing of the Ministry of Finance to allocate some people to participate in the formation of an education fund. This issue should be dealt with immediately. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will let Minister Song handle it immediately."
Ji Wenfeng, Minister of Education, said: "Your Majesty, some of the officials and scholars involved in the educational reform of our Beijing Normal University have basically established a reform plan for the composition of university disciplines and the positioning of ideological direction in accordance with the emperor's will.
They believe that the Jingshi University Hall is the landmark education hall of our Huaxia Imperial University education. It is the highest institution of learning and the highest educational administrative organ in China.
Scholars believe that Jingshi University Hall is the successor of Taixue in our country, and it can be the continuation of the highest university in ancient China, and it is also the first university officially established in the name of our country.
Enmity Ke Ke Fang hated Yang Xian Yu too
Therefore, these scholars who participated in the educational reform wanted to ask the emperor to change the name of the Beijing Normal University Hall to better explain the history and connotation of the university. ”
Chen Zhong said: "This proposal is very good, and I also think so, because the Beijing Normal University has inherited the ancient civilization of our Chinese nation, and at the same time introduced Western capitalist civilization and modern science and culture.
Under the principle of 'middle school as the body, Western learning as the application', the combination of Chinese and Western is emphasized. Neither worship the foreign and flattering, nor stick to the old-fashioned. Make sure that the two are connected between China and the West.
For Western studies, it is emphasized that Western language is only 'one of the schools', not 'the whole of the school'.
It has inherited the splendid culture of our great Chinese nation and absorbed the strengths of Western learning. In my opinion, the name of Beijing Normal University Hall should be changed to 'Peking University'. ”
Xiao Yang said: "The emperor's change of this name is excellent, which not only reflects that Peking University is the highest university in our Chinese Empire, but also can promote its reputation to the world." ”
Ji Wenfeng said: "Your Majesty, then we will continue to use the name of Peking University from now on." And it will be announced to the public in the near future.
In addition, in accordance with the emperor's instructions on the classification of university disciplines, scholars have basically determined the subject classification of Peking University after research and discussion.
The discipline classification of Peking University is broadly divided into general disciplines and junior colleges.
General subjects are compulsory for all students, including 10 subjects of classics, science, history, elementary arithmetic, politics, geography, and gymnastics.
Students can choose one or two of the specialized disciplines, including advanced arithmetic, politics, geography, agriculture, mining engineering, business, military science, health and other subjects. There are also 5 foreign languages: English, French, Russian, German and Japanese.
Your Majesty, this is a draft version of this subject material and textbook, please ask the Emperor for approval. ”
Chen Zhongzhong's material said: "Well, this is very good, my proposition should be based on science and technology, but, at the same time, it is also necessary to inherit the splendid civilization of our nation." In this process, we should continue to sum up experience, strive for multi-faceted development, and cultivate a variety of talents.
Nowadays, the Chinese Empire has just been founded, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, so running a good university will be our long-term policy! ”
After far from hating the cool ship and hating the Moyang Earth
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing, one is that all the scholars and students of Peking University implore the Emperor to come to Peking University to give a speech to our Peking University students in the midst of his busy schedule. The second is the current issue of the president of Peking University. ”
"When I go to Peking University to speak, I will definitely go, you can arrange a time and report to my secretariat.
As for the selection of the president of Peking University, the Ministry of Education will decide for itself. Peking University is the first university in our Chinese Empire, and it shoulders the historical role of leading the direction of national education.
Its development will be closely linked to the destiny of the Chinese nation, and it is an extremely important task to run Peking University well and establish the educational orientation of Peking University.
The enemy is not alone, and the hatred is feathered by the lonely cool
Because the spirit and direction of Peking University will definitely play a benchmarking role in the whole country, and the development of Peking University will definitely affect the historical process of the Chinese nation.
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Taixue, the manager of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty set up Guozixue, and then experienced the establishment of Guozijian in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Sui Dynasty, followed by the Song, Yuan, and Qing dynasties in the Tang Dynasty, until the establishment of the Jingshi University Hall at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
I now rename it Peking University, which has been inherited from the same academic lineage, spanning more than 2,000 years, continuing the Chinese culture behind our Chinese nation, and it can be said that Peking University bears the responsibility of inheriting the culture of our Chinese nation for thousands of years.
Then, I believe that as the president of Peking University, he must be a highly respected and Confucian scholar, and as a candidate for the president of Peking University, I believe that he must have high virtues, even higher than his academic achievements.
My Chinese Empire needs to cultivate the righteousness of Tiangang, virtuous people are the foundation of the country, and the leaders of talents must have the spirit of heroism.
This is related to whether our Chinese Empire can promote its righteousness, therefore, the selection of the president of Peking University should be based on moral considerations! ”
Ji Wenfeng, Minister of Education, took note of Chen Zhong's instructions on the selection of the president of Peking University, concluded the report on the teaching reform of Peking University, and left the Qinzheng Hall with Xiao Yang, the prime minister of the cabinet.
At noon, Yan Xia came to the Qinzheng Palace, stood in front of Chen Zhong for a long time and did not speak, Chen Zhong's solemn face Yan Xia asked: "Yan Xia, what is the matter, is there trouble?" ”
Yan Xia hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I just received news from Shanghai that Master Huo Yuanjia has passed away. ”
After listening to Yan Xia's words, Chen Zhong trembled.
Enemy hatred and hatred are the only ones who cha Moyang Taiyue pointed
Chen Zhong thought that Huo Yuanjia was poisoned by the Japanese because of the competition with the Japanese, that was because he was still in the era of the weak country of the Qing Dynasty, and now, he has traveled to the parallel space of this history and has changed this history, why hasn't he changed the ending of Master Huo's untimely death?
