GUOZIJIAN

The '''Guozijian''' (國子監 ''guózǐjiàn''), sometimes called the 'Imperial Central School', 'Imperial Academy' or 'Imperial College', was the national central institute of learning in Chinese dynasties after the Sui. It was the highest institute of learning in China's traditional educational system. Formerly it was called the Taixue, while Taixue for Gongsheng (tribute students) from the populace was still part of Guozijian, along with Guozixue for noble students.
Guozijian were located in the national capital of each dynasty -- Chang'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Nanjing. In Ming there were two capitals; thus there were two Guozijian, one in Nanjing and one in Beijing. The Qing Guozijian, located in Guozijian Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, was the last ''Guozijian'' in China and is an important national cultural asset.
