1, establishment stage
The establishment of schools in the late Qing Dynasty can be traced back to the middle of the late Qing Dynasty. Because the Qing government attached great importance to education, some places began to set up schools as the basis of local education. Most of these schools are privately funded, funded by local gentry or wealthy businessmen, and managed by school management committees.
These schools mainly provide basic education, including reading literacy, arithmetic, literature and history. The school's education targets are mainly rural children and urban poor children, providing them with opportunities to receive basic education.

With the passage of time and the development of society, schools in the late Qing Dynasty gradually developed and expanded. The number of schools has increased and the teaching content has gradually enriched. In addition to basic education, some schools have begun to provide higher education, such as liberal arts and science education.
These schools are usually headed by well-known scholars or teachers, and the teaching quality is high. In addition, some schools have established libraries and collected a large number of books for students to read and study. These measures provided students with broader learning space and more learning resources, which promoted the further development of schools in the late Qing Dynasty.
