Educational reform is an important part of the transformation of modern Chinese society. After the abolition of the imperial examination in 1905, Chinese education experienced earth-shaking changes. The Republic of China had just been founded; but the reforming spirit of the late Qing Dynasty still remained. The May Fourth New Culture brought new ideas to the country. Chinese education, being built upon the Western model, adhered to Chinese tradition and integrated it into the modern times, combining Chinese and Western cultural and educational ideas. These ideas influenced, tolerated, and transformed each other, creating an era studded with educational “stars” .
