Features: This book explores the historical facts and transformations of the Chinese educational tradition, focusing on the following two theoretical threads of analysis: First, it examines the structural elements of the theoretical construction, knowledge connotation, teaching mechanisms, and social genealogy of the Chinese educational tradition from the perspectives of pedagogy, philosophy, anthropology, and sociology. Second, it analyzes the numerous restructuring events of the Chinese educational tradition in the 20th century and their associated socio-cultural contexts. This research aims to connect the analysis of the Chinese educational tradition with the contemporary trends in Chinese education and socio-cultural development, thereby providing a historical reflective perspective and experiential insights for a series of important theoretical and practical issues faced by contemporary Chinese education, such as the relationship between education, knowledge, and human development; the connection between education and national, local economic and social life; the localization and internationalization of educational development, and so on.
