碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育研究所 === 92 === A Study of the Traditional Education for Manchurians in Ch''ing China Abstract This paper mainly enquires the traditional education for Manchurians in Ch’ing China. The main findings of this paper are as follows: 1. The purposes of the Eight Banners’ Official Schools are to teach Manchurians speaking native language (Manchu language), practicing the skill of riding-shooting, and cultivating Manchu officials. Only Manchurians are allow to enroll the Eight Banners’ Official Schools . 2. The rulers of the Ch’ing dynasty establish many different kinds of schools for Manchurians, but don’t manage those schools well. Because of lacking of funds and having wide and various ways to acquire an official position, the eight banners’ schooling is not so desirable and attractive. 3. Manchurians receive different education according to their social status and the place they live. Royal families have the best educational establishment. The conditions of education decrease by their social status and location. The education for bannermen living in Beijing is first-rate. The education for those who live in Dongbei falls behind. As to Bannermen living in garrison towns beside the provincial capital, their young generation begin to prepare for imperial examination as the Hans’ way when the court permit bannermen to participate in exam since the emperor Jiaqing reign. 4. The reason for rulers advocate the policy of “speaking native language and the skill of riding-shooting” is related to the distribution and superiority of political power of Manchurians. 5. Comparing with the Hans, formal education has little influence on Manchrians’ social mobility, and its main function is for Manchrians’ moral education. 6. From this study, it is implicated that developing a nation’s culture has to be based on its’ natural conditions, but not political power.
