Chinese university is in the era of knowledge economy with the requirement of knowledge innovation now. In the face of the reality of the university system can not effectively promote knowledge production and knowledge innovation, so it is an inevitably realistic choice to construct modern university system. As the appropriate response to the theory, based on advanced knowledge of the university system in this arrangement is carried out in the background.The key factor of modern university system is the internal mechanisms and the root on the legal existence of modern university system innovation. In this study, the starting point of this question is the assumption that the deep-seated reasons that the existing university system could not effectively promote knowledge innovation and knowledge production of behind can be traced back to the power factor. According to theory analysis, history organization and reasons explaination, by an in-depth analysis of the mechanism of interaction between knowledge and power, reveal the underlying root on the legitimate existence of university system. On the basis of critical reflection on the legal existing of university system, there is a reasonable path of an effective construction of modern university system.University is the main places engaging in an advanced knowledge, and the double value of the advanced knowledge makes university as a competing scene interests and power. According to the type of capital of playing the power role, there are three major forces: political power (the main is government, the capital is violence) , economic power (the main is market, capital is money) and the knowledge power (the main is University, capital is knowledge) The main of three powers take place the media interaction through the university institution, so the university institution is the balance between knowledge and power on the base of system, the university system is to reflect the association on the characteristics of the "knowledge-power".In the formation and evolution of university system, through historical analysis of the relationship between universities, government, and the market. It argues that the balance of power between the government, the market and the university of an impact deeply on choice and change of university system. University system is not an ideal design, but a realistic option, is the main power in three games with each other and the result of a compromise.To the interests and resources to pursue is the main underlying causes of the interaction of three powers. On the one hand, the integration of academy and politic is the mechanism of the game. With the complexity of social governance and democratization, increasing the power of knowledge to seek assistance, the political and scientific as a movement; at the same time, universities in order to form a advanced knowledge of the professional authority of the increasingly become an important treatment in the strength, knowledge of the rational pursuit of political reality, which provides a combination of academic and political opportunity, universities and the government of the existence of the beginning of the game. University expertise to the authority as a tool of political power or collusion with the government, or dependent on the government to become a tool of its rule, in order to defend the legitimacy of the government while continuing to seek the community's interests.On the other hand, "knowledge is wealth" is the mechanism of the union between of university and market. In the era of knowledge economy, in the face of the university of the lack of educational resources, the need of market knowledge and technology that the status quo, through the knowledge of capital to obtain the value of the exchange, the two sides to meet the different needs of the market between the university and market. Among them, the market play into the university of organizations submit to the logic of running, his replacement as the economic logic of the logic of knowledge production in order to legally intervene in the production of knowledge; At the same time, the university of the initiative to adjust their knowledge rules, in order to meet market demand, university and the market reached an accomplice of a relationship.Chinese university and its institutional arrangements are being in the process of modernization. Chinese university institution has been affected by popular nationalism in education, and reflected China's unique sight of university system. On the one hand, as a government reformation tool, Chinese university has been linked with the national interests closely. On the other hand, China has the knowledge tradition of pragmatism, knowledge depend on the survival and development of power, so the university system is a reflection of a community-based and even the whole country, out of the logic knowledge.University system as the link of "knowledge-power", reflects the different balance of power between the powers, behind it is reflected in the different values of the pursuit of knowledge. University system from the reality of the existence of the root causes and mechanisms, the arrangement of university system should be conducive to the knowledge production and knowledge innovation, the key of the tension between the dynamic balance of the three powers.Specific to a reasonable path and choose strategy of the Chinese modern university system innovation, it can be considered in two ways: on the one hand, the establishment of subjectivity of an independent university, both through reconstruction of the "ivory tower" of Chinese university, and the reconstruction Academic career of the Chinese university teachers to nurture the concept the spirit of academy, and by raising the level of academic research to strengthen the power of knowledge authority. On the other hand, creating a good social system environment, for the modern university system innovation to provide a solid social foundation. Government under social democratic need to change an effective and positive limited government, also improving the market economy system, to cultivate a market forces fully play the role of market competition mechanism.
