It is also one of the „211 Project” and „985 Project”universities with full support in the construction and development from the central and local government of China. The history of Wuhan University can be traced back to Ziqiang Institute, which was founded in 1893 by Zhang Zhidong, the then governor of Hubei Province and Hunan Province in the late Qing Dynasty. In the process of development and evolution, the institute changed its name several times before it was finally named Wuhan National University in 1928. It is one of the earliest comprehensive national universities in modern China. By the end of 1946, the university had established 6 colleges, the colleges of liberal art, law, sciences, engineering, agriculture and medicine. In 2000, an amalgamation of the former Wuhan University, Wuhan University of Hydraulic and Electric Engineering, Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping, and Hubei Medical University was announced, which ushered in a new era in its 100-odd years of development. For the past century, Wuhan University has built an elegant palatial architectural complex of primitive simplicity which blends perfectly the eastern architectural style with that of the west. It is honored as the „Most Beautiful University in China.” Furthermore, Wuhan University’s centennial humanistic accumulation boils down to its succinct motto, that is, „Self-improvement, Perseverance, Truth-seeking & Innovation.” Since its establishment, Wuhan University has cultivated more than 300 thousand professional talents in various occupations, among whom there are over 100 members of the Chinese Academy of Science and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. They have made great contribution to the national construction and social advancement. The remarkable achievements of Wuhan University have won itself an extensive international reputation. In 1999, the world renowned journalSciencelisted Wuhan University as one of the most prominent institutions of higher education in China.

  • Sino-US Relations and Ulysses S. Grant's Mediation
    Looking for a Friend: Sino-U.S. Relations and Ulysses S. Grant’s Mediation in the Ryukyu/Liuqiu 琉球 Dispute of 1879 Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad Michael Berry Graduate Program in East Asian Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Thesis Committee: Christopher A. Reed, Advisor Robert J. McMahon Ying Zhang Copyright by Chad Michael Berry 2014 Abstract In March 1879, Japan announced the end of the Ryukyu (Liuqiu) Kingdom and the establishment of Okinawa Prefecture in its place. For the previous 250 years, Ryukyu had been a quasi-independent tribute-sending state to Japan and China. Following the arrival of Western imperialism to East Asia in the 19th century, Japan reacted to the changing international situation by adopting Western legal standards and clarifying its borders in frontier areas such as the Ryukyu Islands. China protested Japanese actions in Ryukyu, though Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) leaders were not willing to go to war over the islands. Instead, Qing leaders such as Li Hongzhang (1823-1901) and Prince Gong (1833-1898) sought to resolve the dispute through diplomatic means, including appeals to international law, rousing global public opinion against Japan, and, most significantly, requesting the mediation of the United States and former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885). Initially, China hoped Grant’s mediation would lead to a restoration of the previous arrangement of Ryukyu being a dually subordinate kingdom to China and Japan. In later negotiations, China sought a three-way division of the islands among China, Japan, and Ryukyu.

China's "Corporatization without Privatization" and the Late Nineteenth Century Roots of a Stubborn Path Dependency Nicholas Calcina Howson* ABSTRACT This Article analyzes the contemporary program of "corporatizationwithout privatization"in the People's Republic of China (PRC) directed at China's traditional state-owned enterprises (SOEs) through a consideration of long ago precursor enterprise establishments-starting from the last Chinese imperial dynasty's creation of "government-promoted/- supervised, merchant-financed/-operated" (guandu shangban) firms in the latter part of the nineteenth century. While analysts are tempted to see the PRC corporations with listings on internationalexchanges that dominate the global economy and capital markets as expressions of "convergence," this Article argues that such firms in fact show deeply embedded aspects of path dependency unique to the Chinese context even prior to the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911.

VINCENT GOOSSAERT On July 10, 1898, the reformist leader Kang Youwei (1858–1927) me- morialized the throne proposing that all academies and temples in China, with the exception of those included in registers of state sacrifices (sidian ), be turned into schools. The Guangxu emperor was so pleased with the proposal that he promulgated an edict (shangyu ) the same day, taking over Kang’s phrasing. On three occasions in the following weeks, the editorial in the famous Shanghai daily Shenbao dis- cussed the edict not as a piece of legislation aiming at facilitating the creation ex nihilo of a nationwide network of public schools but as the declaration of a religious reform, that is, a change in religious policy that would rid China of temple cults and their specialists: Buddhists, Taoists, and spirit mediums.

  • In a Mirror, Darkly: a Comparison of Chinese and Japanese Military Reform, 1860-1894
    In a mirror, darkly: a comparison of Chinese and Japanese military reform, 1860-1894 by James Mark Graham B.A., California Baptist University, 2011 A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2019 Approved By: Major Professor Dr. David Graff Copyright © James Graham, 2019 Abstract By the year 1860, both the Qing dynasty in China and the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan were under considerable strain following Western intervention and domestic disturbances. While the Qing were able to survive the disturbances, the Tokugawa Shogunate did not, and was replaced by a government of the Tokugawa’s clans’ enemies, under the nominally direct leadership of the Meiji emperor. Both Chinese and Japanese leaders recognized that reform of their societies was necessary to ensure their independence with a special emphasis on military reform. As a result, both the Qing dynasty and the Meiji government sought out and employed Western military advisors to assist their efforts. There are similarities between how the Chinese and Japanese used their western advice, namely that both insisted on maintaining control over their advisors, ensuring that they would serve the desires of their respective governments. However, the differences were greater both in number and severity. The Chinese employment of western advisors was based on regional and provincial interests. Additionally, the Qing focused much more on the acquisition of Western technology. The Japanese used a formal system of official military advisory missions, whereas the Chinese preferred to employ individuals informally on a contract basis.

    2016 2nd International Conference on Modern Education and Social Science (MESS 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-346-5 Design and Implementation of Characteristic School-based Courses Based on Modern Curriculum Theory Li-Fang CAI1,a, Yong-Chang CAI2,b,* 1Curriculum Resource Centre, Guangdong Shunde Desheng School, Foshan, China 2School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Shunde Polytechnic, Foshan, China [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Modern Course Theory; Characteristics; School-based Course. Abstract. The development of school-based courses has gradually become regional and characteristic under the impact of foreign advanced educational concept in combination with the new round of course reform. It is required to design and implement special supplementary courses based on “student-centered course theory”, interest expansion courses based on “disciplinary structure course theory” and series of study tour courses based on “social reform course theory" according to modern course theory so as to form characteristic school-based courses, guide practice with theory and develop theory with practice through standardized implementation management so as to promote sustainable development of characteristic course. Introduction Course plays a core role in school education. Educational objectives and value are manifested and implemented through course. Course reform is always the core of western educational reform and course study is always the central thesis in western educational theory. Currently, the new round of course reform in China specifically puts forward trial implementation of “three-level course management" system involving national, local and school courses. The development of school-based courses also plays a vital role. Under the situation of global educational development, foreign advanced educational concepts have constantly expanded the international horizon of education and promoted school course development.
