盛新中学与佑贞女中旧址, Educational heritage site in Xicheng District, China.
Description
Shengxin Middle School and You Zhen Girls Middle School were located here as two educational institutions with traditional architectural styles and classroom spaces from the early modern period. The buildings show how rooms for teaching, administration, and school life were arranged at that time.
History
These two schools emerged in the late 19th century as pioneering educational institutions in Beijing. You Zhen introduced an innovation: it was among the first schools to deliberately teach girls, breaking from a deeply established system.
