The origin of "college students"

College students refer to a group of people who are receiving basic higher education and professional higher education, have not yet graduated or have graduated from higher education and entered the society. As a frontier group of new social technologies and new ideas, the state has trained senior professionals. College students represent young and energetic people, are the main force of pioneering construction and creation, and are the pillars to promote social progress. So how did the word college students come from?

The rudiment of university

In ancient Egypt, one of the functions of Pharaoh's Temple was to impart knowledge and research academics, and Pythagoras, a famous ancient Greek scholar, studied here. These temples are a bit like imperial academy in China, which is the highest institution of learning in China. During the period of Confucius and Pythagoras, there was not much difference between the eastern and western thoughts on higher education, and the importance of preaching and teaching was higher than that of teaching. As students, they follow their teachers not only to learn how to make a living. For example, Zi Gong, a disciple of Confucius, made a living by doing business, but what he learned from Confucius was how to become a scholar. Dong Zhongshu, a famous thinker, suggested to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "May your majesty build imperial academy and make a master to support the people of the world." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted his suggestion and set up imperial academy in Chang 'an.

The birth of modern universities

The word "university" we are talking about today originated from the Latin university in the past, which means that there is a group including teachers and students protected by a contract recognized by the Lord. The management of this group (such as recruiting students, hiring teachers, and recognizing the conditions for students to complete their studies) is independent of local jurisdiction. Universities are more than just schools that impart knowledge and skills. This is where the academic freedom we are talking about today comes from. 1 170, an important university was founded in Paris, which is the University of Paris. This university has not only become one of the most famous universities in Europe, but also the most famous university in Europe, and has the reputation of "the mother of universities". Modern universities started from this and began to flourish.
