Modern Transformation of Traditional Resources of Education: A Case Study of the Development of the Academy in Later Qing Dynasty

To meet the demand of educational modernization, traditional resources of education were reformed and blended in the process of modern transformation of education and had facilitated establishing the modern education system. The development of the academy in later Qing Dynasty reflected this historical rationality. Under the double influences of social change and the increasing decline of the academy system, the academy of later Qing Dynasty completed its modern transformation by three interwoven processes, i.e. endeavoring to revive the tradition of the academy, establishing a new type of academy and changing the academy into the school. It is argued that this transformation promoted the establishment of China's modern educational system and therefore established a permanent connection with modern education.
