The school Qin Yuhan chose for the little one was, naturally, no ordinary institution. Nor was it just a simple elementary school. Named Jixia Academy, it encompassed elementary, middle, and high school levels, and its existence had received official recognition.
The name "Jixia" immediately brought to mind the Jixia Academy of the Warring States period. That historical institution was the world's first higher education establishment of its kind—organized by the government but managed privately. During its time, academic works were published one after another, creating a favorable social environment for the contention of a hundred schools of thought and promoting the flourishing of academic culture in the pre-Qin era.
