Abstract
Built in 1897 in Hangzhou, China, “Qiu shi Shu-yuan(求是書 院)” is a new type of Confucian academy founded in cooperation with the “Wei-xin faction(維新派)” at the time. This Confucian academy emphasized the spirit of “Shi shi qiu shi(實事求是)”, based on the parallelism of Chinese and Western studies, and further had a clear purpose of contributing to the activities of saving the country by cultivating practical talents. Chinese intellectuals, who were suffering from a national crisis at the time, were leading the establishment of various new schools or modern educational institutions to break down the chaotic situation. In that time, Qiu shi shu-yuan was not only built purely by the Chinese, but also developed into today's Zhejiang University. Thus, it is considered one of the “ideal models of modern Chinese educational institutions” in that it shows a consistent educational view and stable development in terms of operation and development.
