Peking University was founded in 1898 as a product of the Hundred Days' Reform and a result of the Chinese nation's efforts to save the country and strengthen education. Originally named the Capital University, it was the first national comprehensive university in modern China. After the Xinhai Revolution, it was renamed to its current name in 1912. In the long history of civilization, ancient China established the highest national institutions of learning such as the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Academy, which had an important influence on the history of education in China and the world. Peking University inherits the orthodox teachings of the Imperial Academy and establishes its ancestral home as a university. It is not only the inheritor of Chinese cultural and educational traditions, but also marks the beginning of modern higher education in China. At the beginning of its establishment, it was also the highest educational administrative organ of the country, making important historical contributions to the establishment of Chinese modernism.
