On this day, 127 years ago, July 3, 1898 (May 15, 1898, the predecessor of Peking University, Beijing University, was established. Capital University is the predecessor of Peking University and the earliest university in modern China. It was opened on July 3, 1898 and belongs to one of the "New Policies" of the Reform Movement of 1898. After the Revolution of 1911, it was renamed Peking University. In 1862, the Qing government established the Beijing Tongwen Hall in the Prime Minister's Yamen. After that, the Qing government decided to set up a mathematical academy to study astronomy and mathematics. The establishment of Tongwen Hall was the beginning of the establishment of new schools in my country. Tong Wen Guan was the earliest public junior college established in my country. Later, it was merged into the Capital University and was the earliest part of the Capital University. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 - 1894, the imperialist powers set off an upsurge in ceding territory in China, and China once again faced the crisis of being divided up and subjugated. In order to save the nation and save it, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, and Tan Sitong launched a bourgeois reform movement of reform and reform. They believed that to save the nation, the only way to learn from foreign countries and realize reform and reform, and reform must start with abolishing the imperial examinations and establishing schools. In August 1895, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others organized a "Strong Society" in Beijing to purchase books, collect newspapers and periodicals for the public to read, and often held meetings to give lectures, discuss academics, criticize current politics, publicize and introduce the social and political theories of the Western bourgeoisie and modern scientific knowledge, encourage people to learn from the West, cultivate talents based on the principle of applying what they have learned, and ultimately achieve the goal of national self-improvement. In June 1896, Li Duanfen, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Punishment, formally proposed the establishment of "Capital University" for the first time in his "Please Promote Schools Discount" to the Qing court. At the beginning of 1898, with the increasing development of the reform and reform movement, Kang Youwei once again proposed in "The Outline of the Plan to Coordinate the Overall Situation":"Since the capital has established universities, various provinces have established higher secondary schools, and various prefectures and counties have established primary and secondary schools and specialized schools." Driven by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, in June 1898, Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty issued the "Ming Dynasty Dingguo Is an Edict" to officially announce the reform. The edict emphasized: "The Capital University is an initiative of all provinces and should be held first." Therefore, Liang Qichao drafted a "Constitution of the Capital University", which stipulated that the university's school policy was: "Middle school should be the basis, Western learning should be used, and Chinese and Western should be used together to observe its knowledge of the Tao." The courses are divided into two categories: general subjects and specialized subjects. In this way, Capital University has not only become the highest institution of education in the country, but also the highest educational administrative organ in the country. This charter is the first charter of Peking University and the earliest academic system outline for modern higher education in China. On July 3, 1898, Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty officially ordered the establishment of the Capital University. From 1898 to 1900, the Capital University (later known as the "University of 1898 ") was simplified, so it was still a feudal academy in essence. In 1900, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, the school buildings of Beijing University were occupied, and the library equipment was destroyed. It was temporarily suspended until 1902 when it was restored, with the addition of preparatory courses (New Policy Course, Art Course) and accelerated courses (Official Academy, Normal Academy). In 1903, the Jinshi Hall, the Translation Hall and the Medical Industry Hall were added. Graduates are awarded the titles of tribute students, juren and jinshi respectively. In 1910, it was changed into seven sections: Economics, Law, Literature, Gezhi, Agriculture, Engineering, and Commerce. After the Revolution of 1911, it was renamed Peking University. It is the earliest university in modern times in my country.
