Features: As a work that describes the history of a century of Chinese educational development, this book examines the state of educational development in China from the perspective of meta-education. Based on dividing the century-long journey of education into six historical periods—introduction of education (1911-1919), foundational stage of education (1919-1949), transformation and "Sovietization" of education (1949-1956), Sinicization of education (1957-1966), ideologicalization of education (1966-1976), and the revival and advancement of education (1976-2000)—it introduces and analyzes the general state of educational development in each period, as well as the fundamental categories, concepts, propositions, and major issues of contention that existed during those times. Furthermore, it explores the historical development and logical trajectory of Chinese education. With the past century as the longitude and education as the latitude, this book paints a grand historical picture of 20th-century Chinese education. The narrative is interspersed with critiques, and the materials are supplemented with perspectives, making history and analysis intertwined—a key feature of the book. "History is a mirror," and this book holds significant reference and value for educational theorists in understanding the past, present, and future trends of the discipline they engage in or study—education.
