The new education system, which is an western style education system, was introduced since 1860` in order to improve the Chinese education system. However it did not significantly impact on the reform of the existing Chinese academic system because it only contributed to resolve the urgent education reform desires. In spite of these circumstances, these education reform movement provided the opportunity to improve considerably the Ching dynasty education system. Gongissangsu(公車上書) in 1895 and Lee Duanfun(李端?)`s Proposal on the education system reform, which are issued due to the defeat of Ching-Japan War, required the fundamental reform of social system but its result was only the reform of education regime, which only resulted in the building of a new university of Beijing(京師大學堂), in spite of the severe dispute among social power groups. Furthermore the building of this a new university of Beijing also were interrupted by the power elites of bureaucratic organization. And then the education institute building process was not progressed due to the several resistant groups on the social reform in spite of the continuous effort of Gwangsi Emperor(光緖帝). Consequently the reform movement of 1898 eventually intended to reform fundamentally the social system and also to restrain the power elite groups even though its goals is to educate the talent students. Therefore the reform movement of 1898 and the building of University of Beijing is one of the most representative cases of social reform in the end of Ching Dynasty.
