Peking University was founded in 1898 and was a product of the 1898 Reform Movement. It was also a result of the Chinese nation's efforts to save the nation from subjugation and strengthen its education. Originally named Jingshi University, it was the first national comprehensive university in modern China. After the Xinhai Revolution, it was renamed its current name in 1912.

In the long history of civilization, ancient China established the highest educational institutions in the country, such as the Imperial Academy, Guozi Academy, and Guozijian, which had a significant impact on the history of education in China and the world. Peking University inherits the orthodoxy of Taixue and establishes the ancestral hall of the university. It is not only the inheritor of Chinese culture and educational tradition, but also marks the beginning of modern higher education in China. At the beginning of its establishment, it was also the highest educational administrative agency in the country, making significant historical contributions to the establishment of modern Chinese education.
