The Chinese modern University Foundation was established in]902,repealed in1922. University Foundation exists in practice more than ten years longer than the system time, in the Chinese modern education process can be regarded as short-lived. As the intermediary of communication between secondary schools and university, the University Foundation is directly related to secondary education and university education of their own development and communicate with each other, is an important factor to affect the construction of modern Chinese educational system. This paper mainly studies the evolution of the modern University Foundation system and practice, and hope to help on the deepening of the convergence of secondary schools and university provide some historical reference.In1902, Imperial University urgent need to re-commissioning, but lack of secondary school graduates can ascend to the source, which directly gave birth to the modern Chinese University Foundation. The modern University Foundation system is based on Japan as a template, Imperial University set up University Foundation, University Foundation established by the provincial capitals, called "High School" from the name of the school to discipline classification, curriculum, are exactly the same with Japan's "High School". System of "High School" in Japan after decades of exploration, to completely copy can only be limited empty talk. In the fledgling stage of secondary education, has not become the source base stage of university students, the "High School" only played the role temporarily for school.The early years of the Republic, the drawbacks of the "High School" has been fully revealed, but in view of the secondary education still can't communicate directly with university education, the early Republican educational system provides for the repeal of the "High School" in the provinces, the University Foundation to be attached to the university, not be independent. Adjust the University Foundation system has clear the stage of education, making the University Foundation turning away from the position equivalent to the middle school in the late Qing Dynasty, the main task of the University Foundation also increased from middle school tutorial into higher specialized education to prepare. Secondary education is weak, the development of the University Foundation is limited.Modern University Foundation is due to the lack of sources of secondary school graduates. Before or after the1920s, along with the development of basic education, students source compared to the late Qing Dynasty has a certain degree of protection. Still insisted on the establishment of University Foundation, will cause unnecessary waste of time, funding and other aspects, become a burden to slow down the development of higher education, In1922, the new academic structure for the abolition of the University Foundation, secondary school to implement "6:3:3" system, the provisions of matriculation functions borne by the senior high school. Establishment of the system is not in practice with immediate effect, due to the strong and weak secondary of the university, the university stick to the matriculation situation not uncommon until1930, reiterated the Ministry of Education abolished the matriculation order, the abolition of University Foundation to be completely implementation.Peking University Foundation is complete to show the generation of the modern university Foundation. As the leader of modern University Foundation education in China, Peking University Foundation matriculation in the form attached to the university, with Peking University's high quality educational resources to effectively fulfill the mission of Peking University undergraduate qualified, high-quality students.A historical perspective, the modern University Foundation from Europe, rather, College of Liberal Arts began in the medieval universities. Since the12th century to the18th and19th centuries, College Of Liberal Arts as medicine, law, God, three senior college preparatory educational institutions. Since the beginning of the18th and19th centuries, along with the increasing specialization of the development trend in the university, College of Liberal Arts has worn off as the effectiveness of pre-university, originally assumed by the College of Liberal Arts preparatory education gradually handed over to independent secondary education agencies.Grammar schools spread to the United States via Britain, the first university in the university is to produce automatically become a university preparatory school. To the mid-19th century, after centuries of Western three school system was introduced to China, pre-university functions bome by the secondary school. Early20th century, a very complete education system from pre-school to postgraduate education from general education to the Industrial Technical education,it is hard to fall in the real office. The emergence of the University Foundation due to grade school education at the same starting line, unable to converge with each other arising from the lack of students originally desperation expedient. It does play a temporary link to and from school the role to ensure that the development of the university, but set University Foundation, on the one hand, to extend the length of schooling, on the other hand, contrary to the development trend of direct communication between the secondary and university education, it is faced with the ending was abolished from the date from. Now, there is University Foundation due to the policy on affairs concerning national, the tendency of secondary school studies for the main functions had not been changed, the historical experience of the University Foundation is worth learning.
