Features: When we are striving to build advanced culture, cultural innovation naturally becomes one of our most focused topics. Cultural originality is the core of cultural innovation. How to explore, promote, and protect cultural originality, and how to create a cultural ecosystem that allows cultural originality to thrive, must be placed on our agenda. Naming this series "Original Series" merely expresses our attitude, appeal, requirement, and aspiration. The tumultuous history of modern education in 20th-century China has formed some identifiable values and characteristics. The attitude toward our own national cultural traditions, the attitude toward foreign educational cultures, and the attitude toward our own educational reform may serve as simple threads to understand this history. Since modern education—then called "new learning" or "new education"—was a product of rebellion against outdated traditions, the critique and transformation of feudal cultural traditions became the starting point and fundamental task of modern education.
