Political skills, if used improperly, may make colleagues feel threatened and cause vicious competition among employees.

Organization is like a political arena. In addition to professional ability, political skills are also an important ability to succeed in the workplace. Different from "playing politics" or "political games", "political skill" is a neutral word, which refers to effectively understanding others in the workplace and using one’s own knowledge to influence others’ behavior, thus promoting the ability of individuals or organizations to achieve their goals. People with political skills have higher sensitivity in social interaction, are better at building social networks, have stronger interpersonal influence and control, and can express themselves more sincerely and manage others’ impressions of themselves. Practice and research have found that political skills can bring a variety of positive consequences, such as better popularity, establishing high-quality relationships with more core members of organizations, flexibly adjusting interpersonal interaction methods according to situations, communicating more with leaders, more organizational resources and social capital, and more opportunities for development and promotion.

However, Sun Shuhua, an associate professor at tulane university Business School, cautioned: Don’t think so beautifully about political skills. If you are not careful, political skills may become a "pit", making its owner the object of "attack" by colleagues.

Threat perception of social status

In the process of development, human society has evolved status and rank, and everyone has the motivation to protect and compete for their social status. Therefore, the social rank theory suggests that human beings have formed a cognitive system about social rank in the process of evolution, and constantly evaluate the existing and potential status threats. An important factor affecting threat perception is the ability of others to get positive attention from society. People often hope that they can leave a very attractive impression on others, because society always gives people with these characteristics a higher status. The ability to gain social attention is just a part of political skills, which is why employees with strong political skills easily make their colleagues feel threatened by their status.

The social hierarchy theory also suggests that employees have a strong motivation to eliminate threats, and even do not hesitate to take interpersonal derogatory behavior, that is, deliberately destroy the interpersonal relationship, work achievements and reputation of the target employees, such as spreading rumors, deliberately delaying work, making the target employees unable to complete their tasks on time, and conveying some false or misleading information to other colleagues. In order to achieve his goal, he may dig up his opponent’s "black material" to damage his reputation, destroy his original attraction and weaken or eliminate his opponent’s competitive advantage. Some studies have found that although these tricks are despicable and insidious, they are still quite attractive to him. Therefore, once employees with stronger political skills are regarded as threats by colleagues, they may become the target of being derogated.

The intensification of confrontational relations

If in the eyes of employees, colleagues with political skills have a "confrontational relationship" with themselves, the sense of threat and derogatory behavior will further escalate.

Confrontation refers to the long-term competitive relationship between a person and a specific goal. In a confrontational relationship, the two sides are often in the same position, and there has always been competition and it is difficult to tell. In the organizational context, this kind of competition may be related to bonuses, promotion, status and influence, and the recognition of leaders. Confrontation is often not about a certain competition or the immediate result, but a general understanding of the relationship between the two people formed in the process of long-term infighting with the opponent. Even if there is nothing to compete for, this confrontational thinking will make people have to compete for it.

Employees who feel antagonistic relationship will be very concerned about winning or losing, and the psychological significance of defeating opponents is even greater than the practical significance. Employees with strong political skills are good at winning support from superiors, establishing alliances with strategic partners, and mobilizing these resources when the competition requires. In the eyes of colleagues who regard them as opponents, they are masters of playing political games, who will form gangs and use tricks to gain higher status, which will bring a stronger sense of threat to colleagues and force them to win at all costs. However, unscrupulous means that it is likely to cause harm and injustice to others, which is a test of human nature. After all, doing bad things also requires psychological energy. In order to reduce this psychological cost, people will exclude their opponents from moral considerations and think that what kind of behavior they take against their opponents should not be subject to moral constraints.

In a word, when employees regard colleagues with strong political skills as adversaries, they will feel more threatened and more likely to take destructive actions against them.

The following four studies verify these assumptions one by one.

Study 1 recruited 211 professionals. They should first choose a colleague whom they always compare, and evaluate the political skills of the colleague and the degree of confrontation between them. After a week, the subject needs to answer several questions to measure his threat perception and interpersonal destructive behavior, such as "this person poses a threat to my work position" and "I have spoken ill of this person behind his back".

The Relationship among Political Skills, Threat Perception and Disruptive Behavior

The results are consistent with expectations. The higher the political skills of colleagues, the stronger the threat perception of the subjects and the more derogatory behaviors they take. In addition, as shown by the brown line in Figure 1A, when the subjects think that there is a confrontational relationship between two people, the political skills of the opponents are more positively correlated with the threat perception of the subjects; At the same time, as shown by the brown line in Figure 1B, with the enhancement of threat perception, the possibility of subjects taking interpersonal derogatory behavior is also increasing. The blue line in the two pictures shows that the possibility of this series of negative reactions will be much weaker when the subjects do not regard the colleague as an adversary …

The 500-year-old legend of culture and education has stepped forward, and the rise of Guangzhou’s educational scholarship in the Ming and Qing Dynasties has left a reverberation here. Now Guangzhou Education Lide Shuren writes a new chapter. There is an education road in the business circle of Beijing Road in Guangzhou, which is about 500 meters long and looks ordinary, but it hides the cultural and educational legend of Guangzhou that lasted for hundreds of years. Since the Ming Dynasty, the area around Education Road has been the location of the highest cultural and educational official office in Guangdong, where the Education Department in the Ming Dynasty, the Education Department in the Qing Dynasty, the Education Committee in the Republic of China and the current Guangzhou Education Bureau are located. Zhong Ling is beautiful and rich in culture. Strolling around this area, the history of Shufang Street, Mingxian Square, Jiuyao Square, Yaozhou Ruins, the School Group of Big and Small Horse Stations, and the school gate of the original Education Road seems to be coming from just visiting. Brilliant memory of Ming and Qing Dynasties Guangdong’s highest cultural and educational center settled in Yaozhou, which was honored as "the place where the classics were transmitted to the south" and "Wenzong". From South Gate, Da ‘nan Road, Yuexiu District, to the north, across Shufang Street, it is the starting point of Education Road, and the junction with Zhongshan Road to the north is the end point. In the history of education in Guangdong, this place has an extremely important position. The provincial education authorities in Ming and Qing Dynasties were established in the second year of Yaozhou Ming Zhengtong (1437), and Guangzhou was the highest official in charge of culture and education in Guangdong. In the first year of Jiajing (1522), that is, 500 years ago, Guangdong Tuxue Daodao Department settled in Guyaozhou area of Jinjiedu Road, and the Ming system remained unchanged in Qing Dynasty, but its name was changed to prefect Xuezheng Department, and the official in charge was called Xuezheng for short. It’s no accident that both the Tuxue Daoism Department in the Ming Dynasty and the Prefect Xuezheng Department in the Qing Dynasty were located in the area of Guyaozhou, Jinjiao Road.Liu Yan, the founder of the Southern Han Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, ordered people to dig a large artificial lake called Xianhu, also known as West Lake. The small island in the lake is full of flowers and precious medicines. According to legend, Liu Yan often gathers alchemists and refines medicine pills on the island, hence the name "Medicine Island". After the Song Dynasty, Yaozhou became a scenic spot for literati to go boating and recite poems. Zhou Dunyi, the ancestor of Neo-Confucianism, once lived here, and later people built Lianxi Academy by the lake to show their respect for him. Mi Fei, a great painter and painter who is addicted to stone, once came here and happily wrote the inscription "Yaozhou". In the Ming Dynasty, "Yaozhou Chunxiao" was selected as one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng. Therefore, it is logical that the learned scholar who came out of the Imperial Academy set up a provincial cultural and educational hub here. Yaozhou site near Education Road, with antique characters on the wall, was the local government office in charge of culture and education administration in a province of Guangdong in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which was roughly equivalent to today’s provincial education department, and even had a higher status. Ye Chun, a Lingnan poet in the Ming Dynasty, praised the lofty position of this place with "the land of southern China’s classics" in "Yong Zhou". In the Qing Dynasty, the prefect’s academic administration department was also regarded as the enlightenment center of "connecting the literary style of a province", so it was honored as "literate Sect" and was the supreme of Guangdong local literary world in the Qing Dynasty. The tasks of academic administration in Qing Dynasty were very complicated, involving various local cultural and educational work such as ideology, culture, education, publishing and cultural relics. According to the Qing Dynasty scholar Huang Benji’s List of Official Positions in Qing Dynasty, learning politics "is not only responsible for supervising the academic actions of school students, but also in charge of all matters related to education, cultural relics and academics in the places under its jurisdiction". The prefect’s academic administration department is highly respected in the education sector.Scholar and juror in all previous imperial examinations have been approved, recommended and published by Lai Xuezheng Department, so it is the highest local cultural and educational institution that students look forward to. This point can also be proved by the prosperous scenery of nearby schools. Guangdong’s academic and political team is full of economics. One of the most important tasks of education officials is to promote education and run schools. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the academy system that had been included in the official school system in the Yuan Dynasty, and supported the official school exclusively. The government, state and county all set up official schools, and achieved the achievement that "the school was flourishing, which was not as good as that since the Tang and Song Dynasties". Xuegong was an official school at that time, and there were three university palaces in Guangzhou history: Guangfu Xuegong, Panyu Xuegong and Nanhai Xuegong. The first two were built in Song Dynasty; Panyu Xuegong was built in the third year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty. As Panyu County School in Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was called "Lingnan No.1 University". Although the official school was unprecedented, in the early Ming Dynasty, the development of the academy entered a century of silence. In the 137 years after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, only one new academy was opened in Guangzhou, namely Chongzheng Academy, which was opened in the second year of the Ming Dynasty (1437), and just the year before, that is, in the first year of Ming Yingzong’s orthodoxy (1436), the court set up the post of scholar-promoting officer. In the late Ming Dynasty, with the loosening of the imperial policy towards academies, academies began to develop. With the wide spread of Wang Shouren’s theory of Zhan Ruoshui, more scholars and officials have devoted themselves to the development of the academy. Many scholars also hope to do something, and building an academy outside the official school is one of their choices, which makes a new pattern of education and culture in the Ming Dynasty. According to statistics, there were more than 200 academies in Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty.The number ranks among the top three in the country. By the Ming Dynasty, Guangdong’s cultural and educational level was close to that of the Central Plains and Jiangnan. In the Qing Dynasty, scholars were all imperial envoys sent by the imperial court, all of whom were knowledgeable. Because Guangdong is regarded as a land of "humanities extraction" and wealth, Guangdong’s academic expectations and official ranks are higher than those of other provinces, and there are many prominent people, including not only top scholars, second-place scholars, and flower-exploring scholars, such as Deng Zhongyue and Chen Dehua, but also celebrities and scholars with real talents and practical learning, such as Hui Shiqi, Weng Fanggang and Qian Daxin, which can be called the heyday of the lineup. Successive education officials at all levels have carefully managed and trained a large number of rising stars, making Guangzhou, which is far away in Lingnan, one of the famous academic centers in China. Academic officials and scholars also undertake the tradition of giving lectures and mentoring in person. Hui Shiqi is famous for his numerous students and disciples. He Mengyao, Lao Xiaoyu, Luo Tian Chi, Su ‘er, Chen Shihe, Chen Haipin, Wu Shizhong and Wu Qiushi were all taught by Hui Shiqi and became famous, calling them "eight children of Huimen". Weng Fanggang, a scholar, often gives lectures to students under the ancient banyan tree in Jiuyaoshi, Yaozhou. These officials and scholars played an exemplary role in training Guangdong talents, and also played a considerable role in promoting the education development in Guangzhou during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In Jiuyaofang area, there used to be many academies seeking novelty and change in modern times. Chen Li’s books were widely involved in calendar calculation, music and rhyme. From then on, the "Dongshu School" spread to the Central Plains at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and stereotyped writing, which lasted for several dynasties, exposed many drawbacks, and the concept of seeking novelty and change became more and more prosperous. Coupled with the spread of western learning to the east, it has had a great impact on Guangzhou education.With the support of Ruan Yuan, Zhang Zhidong and other local officials who have a special liking for education, new educational institutions, such as Xuehaitang and Guangya Academy, which are different from traditional official schools and academies, have emerged one after another, laying the foundation for the modernization of education in Guangdong. Xuehaitang and Dongshu School emphasize practical learning. Ruan Yuan, who once studied politics in Shandong and Zhejiang, has a profound cultural accomplishment and attaches great importance to education. In 1820, Ruan Yuan, then the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, founded Xuehaitang Academy in Guangzhou, arguing that the education of the Academy should be "based on moral education, not on the name of the subject", which means that the Academy is to reward people with good moral character and good knowledge, not to seek fame and fortune. With his strong support, Xuehaitang became the academic and cultural center of Guangdong in the late Qing Dynasty, which not only gathered a group of famous Guangdong Confucian classics, but also cultivated a group of backbone figures of Lingnan culture. Ruan Yuan’s educational idea of attaching importance to practical learning is naturally implemented in Xuehaitang’s education. Unlike previous academies, Xuehaitang does not aim at imperial examinations. Besides the study of scripture history, it also teaches astronomy, geography, mathematics and natural history. Xuehaitang has cultivated many cutting-edge figures in the ideological and educational circles, such as Zou Boqi, who is known as the "Sage of Southern Guangdong", Liang Tinggan, who "opened his eyes to see the world", and Liang Qichao, who advocated reform and political reform, etc., all of whom originated from Xuehaitang. Under this background, the "Dongshu School" headed by Chen Li, the senior of Xuehaitang, also entered the educational stage. Chen Li, a native of Guangzhou, has spent almost all her life in Guangzhou, except going to Beijing to study for exams. He has no prominent family and academic origins, and the reason why he can become everyone,Mainly due to the strong academic atmosphere in Guangdong at that time. Chen Li is a real "master of learning", who dabbles in classical Chinese, mathematics, astronomy, geography, phonology and music, and is especially good at exegetics and textual research. However, it is such a well-read man who spent 19 years in the imperial examination, and failed to take part in the examination for many times in Sun Shan. Chen Li, who was frustrated in the imperial examination, turned to admire Gu Yanwu’s thought of practical application, advocated that only the classics can be applied, and tried his best to abandon the empty style of study and stress practical learning. He believed that reading must make sense, and opposed the scholars who only sought to explain the textual research without clarifying the academic attitude of righteousness. This is reflected in academics, that is, the vague and empty theory of metaphysics gives way to practical knowledge to solve practical problems. Chen Li is a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, with more than 120 kinds of works in his life. The most influential work is "Dong Shu Du Shu", which covers the dispute between Sinology and Zhuxue in the Qing Dynasty, as well as philology, phonology, geography, calendar and music, etc., and makes a comprehensive and systematic textual research and discussion on the philology works of Jing, Shi, Zi and the previous generation. It took Chen Li 30 years before and after, and it is also a masterpiece that established his academic status and helped Guangdong become a new cultural and academic center. Chen Li trained a large number of talented ministers in the late Qing Dynasty, such as Liao Tingxiang, Wen Tingshi, Liang Dingfen and Feng Junguang. His academic achievements and style of study have been passed down for decades, affecting the whole country. As Zhang Zhidong said, "Shu Ji has since spread to the Central Plains from Dongshu School". Until modern times, Chen Li was still highly respected by scholars.Mr. Qian Mu devoted a chapter to Chen Li in his famous book "The Academic History of China for Nearly 300 Years", which was discussed in detail. In particular, he affirmed that he had "made painstaking efforts and made outstanding achievements" in reconciling Sinology and Song Studies and opening up a new style of study. The Westernization School founded the first foreign language "training class" in Guangzhou. For a long time, Guangzhou has a special position in foreign economic and cultural exchanges and frequent exchanges with overseas countries. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a number of new educational institutions "open their eyes to see the world" appeared in China, and Guangzhou, which has always been the pioneer, stood at the forefront again. In June, 1864, the Westernization School of the Qing government built the Guangzhou Tongwen Pavilion (the site of the present-day primary school) in Chaotian Street. Guangzhou Tongwen Museum imitated the modern western school system from the beginning and became one of the earliest foreign language schools in China. With the development of the situation, only teaching English can no longer meet the actual needs. Guangzhou Tongwen Library has also offered courses in French, German, Russian and Japanese, and finally developed into a specialized school for teaching five foreign languages. Guangzhou Tongwen Museum initially had a school system of 3 years, and later the school system increased to 8 years. In addition to foreign languages, there are also mathematics, chemistry, astronomy, physics, public law of nations, world history and geography. From 1864 to 1911, Guangzhou Tongwen Museum trained many foreign language professionals and occupied a place in the history of modern education in Guangdong. Guangdong School of Law and Politics is the second school of law and politics in China. The Westernization School of the Qing government has successively opened many new schools in Guangzhou. In 1881, Zhang Shusheng, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, established the Guangdong Practical Learning Museum in cheung chau island, Huangpu, Guangzhou. The teaching contents and methods were modeled after those of modern schools.In 1884, Zhang Zhidong, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, renamed it the Guangdong erudite museum, and founded the Guangdong Land and Water Teachers College on this basis. With the support of Zhang Zhidong, Wang Mingluan, a Guangdong scholar, and Li Dianlin, a Guangxi scholar, jointly invited the imperial court to establish Guangya Academy. In 1888, Guangya Academy was founded, and made great efforts to innovate teaching contents and methods, becoming the most important academy in Guangdong in the late Qing Dynasty. In 1905, Cen Chunxuan, then Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, founded the Guangdong Law and Politics School, which is the second law and politics school in China, and Guangxu appointed Xia Tonghe, the top scholar, as the school supervisor. Originally, the school site was located in the Education Department near Jinjie Road. In 1907, the school moved to the back street of Tianguanli at that time (later changed to "Fazheng Road") and invested heavily in building school buildings and gardens. The school building was "beautiful and magnificent" and offered courses such as civil law, commercial law, criminal law, civil procedure law, criminal procedure law, public international law and private international law. For the officials at that time, these courses were really like gobbledygook, which made people dizzy and made them want to run. However, "running away" can only be thought about. If local officials evade the entrance examination, or find an excuse not to enter school after passing the examination, they will be suspended for investigation and forced to enter school. After the Revolution of 1911, the Law and Politics School was renamed Guangdong Public Law and Politics College and merged into the National Guangdong University in 1924. However, these new government-run schools have always been "seeking change" under the traditional restrictions, and finally failed to smoothly evolve into modern schools. However, they laid the foundation for the modernization of education in Guangdong.A large number of trained talents have become a significant force to promote social progress in China. Before the beginning of the 20th century, Guangzhou started the "six-three-three academic system", which has been popularized all over the country. Before and after the Revolution of 1911, Guangzhou took the lead in educational reform, established a relatively complete and scientific educational system, and promoted the development of education in the Republic of China to some extent. At that time, Guangdong Provincial No.1 Middle School (formerly Guangya College) took shape as a modern middle school and became a model of education in the whole province and even the whole country. Guangdong took the lead in implementing the "six-three-three-three academic system", which was gradually popularized throughout the country. Zhixin Middle School took the lead in implementing the "633" academic system. In 1921, the Guangdong Provincial Education Commission was established to promote modern primary education. At first, many parents were reluctant to send their children to new schools. They thought that reading four books and five classics was more promising than reading mathematics and physics, and they didn’t like coeducation. To this end, Guangzhou set up a "roving teacher" system, which is to give subsidies to teachers in new schools, so that they can take turns to teach new knowledge in nearby private schools in their spare time, with the focus on teaching manual courses and abacus. After half a year, parents saw that their children were good at painting and learning to use abacus, and gradually they were willing to send their children to new schools. The most noteworthy thing about Guangzhou education in this period is the reform of academic system. In 1912, referring to the Japanese academic system, the government of the Republic of China limited the duration of secondary school to four years. However, this kind of academic system was quickly criticized by all parties, and it has been implemented for less than 10 years to the point where it can’t be changed. In 1919,The National Education Federation began to discuss the revision of the academic system and asked all localities to formulate specific reform plans. In 1921, the Guangdong New Academic System Research Association was established in Guangzhou, and soon discussed and worked out a new academic system plan. It was suggested that the primary school should be six years, and the middle school should be extended from the past four years to six years, divided into junior and senior levels, each with three years. This is the "six-three-three" academic system that has been used to this day. At that time, among the plans submitted by various places, the National Education Federation decided that the "633" academic system in Guangdong was more suitable for the actual psychological and physiological development of students, so it was determined as the national academic system. Because this year is the year of Renxu in the old calendar, it is also called "Renxu academic system". In 1950s, the standard building of Peiying Middle School implemented the "633" academic system, and Guangzhou took the lead. At that time, it happened that the directors of Guangzhou Private Zhixin School (founded in 1921, now Zhixin Middle School) participated in the formulation of the plan. Zhixin School took the lead in adopting a brand-new academic system, recruiting students from the sixth grade of primary school and the third grade of junior high school, and offering three subjects of pre-university, home economics and normal school in senior high school, taking the lead in implementing the "633" academic system in China. The old school road of Guangzhou No.3 Middle School was built in Shipai University Park. In the 1920s and 1930s, various ideological trends surged, and a large number of outstanding young people gathered in Guangzhou. During this period, Guangzhou’s higher education and professional education emerged, a number of universities such as Sun Yat-sen University were founded, and the university parks around Wushan and Shipai took shape. Guangzhou ranks among the top three educational cities in China, and many educational ideas formed in those years are popular today. Sun Yat-sen University Sun Yat-sen founded the National Guangdong University in 1924.In 1926, it was named National Sun Yat-sen University. Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Feng Youlan, etc. once taught at CUHK, among which the most famous are the two "Wenwu" schools founded by Sun Yat-sen in 1924, one is Huangpu Military Academy, and the other is Sun Yat-sen University today. In 1924, Guangdong Normal University, Guangdong Public University of Law and Politics and Guangdong Public Agricultural College merged and upgraded to National Guangdong University, and in July 1926, it was officially renamed National Sun Yat-sen University. Dr. Sun Yat-sen condensed his educational ideas into the mottos of these two schools. Among them, the mottos of the National Guangdong University are "erudite, interrogative, thoughtful, discerning and faithful", which means that learning should be widely involved, targeted questions should be asked, comprehensive thinking should be learned, clear judgment should be formed, and practice should be guided by the knowledge and ideas gained. Besides Sun Yat-sen University, another remarkable university in Guangzhou is Lingnan University. In the 1920s and 1930s, there was a saying in the education circle: "There is Cai Yuanpei in the north and Zhong Rongguang in the south." Zhong Rongguang was the first Chinese president of Lingnan University. Lingnan University is the first university in China to recognize degrees and exchange foreign students with famous American universities, and to co-educate men and women. In 1927, through unremitting efforts, teachers and students of Lingnan University, such as Zhong Rongguang, took Lingnan University back from the American church and returned it to Chinese, with Zhong Rongguang as the first Chinese president. During his tenure, Zhong Rongguang clearly put forward the principle of "academic first".Build Lingnan University into a comprehensive university with modern disciplines such as liberal arts college, business college, agricultural college, engineering college and medical college. When the departments were adjusted in 1950s, Lingnan University merged with related majors of National Sun Yat-sen University to form the new Sun Yat-sen University and South China Institute of Technology. South China Normal University was founded in 1933, and the history of normal education can be traced back to Guangzhou Normal School founded in 1921. In addition, Guangzhou is also ahead of the times in art education. Guangzhou Municipal Art School is one of the representatives, which is the first public art school in South China. In 1922, at the suggestion of Xu Chongqing, Hu Gentian founded the Guangzhou Fine Arts School. Hu Gentian attaches great importance to basic education, advocates academic freedom, is inclusive, teaches basic skills with modern methods, and sets up systematic and standardized courses. He also specially sent people abroad to order more than 10 plaster statues to ensure the standardization of sketch courses. It can be said that Guangzhou Municipal School of Fine Arts opened a precedent for modern fine arts education in Guangdong and laid a foundation for modern fine arts education in China. The number of college students in contemporary Lide Shuren has become the first university town in China as a "new landmark" of education. There is always an open atmosphere and a tolerant embrace, which makes more people willing to stop for her. Today’s education road is still a "punch-in" point for people to experience Guangzhou’s education and culture, although there is no prefect academic administration department. Students are reading in the library, and there are scenery and education roads outside the window. Hundreds of ancestral halls and academies have gathered to go south from Zhongshan Fifth Road.Next to the Education Road is the Ho Academy, which was listed in the first batch of historical buildings in Guangzhou, and opposite the Academy is the Yaozhou site. Next door to Yaozhou Ruins is the Southern Theatre, which was built in 1937. Further on, it is the intersection of Jiaoyu Road and Xihu Road. The Yaozhou site along the Education Road has a thousand-year-old book fragrance. During the urban construction of Guangzhou in the 1920s and 1930s, the seat of the Academic Affairs Department in the Qing Dynasty was divided into four parts. The east-west road is today’s West Lake Road, and the north-south road is Education Road. As the saying goes, "Long Tibetan Flowing Water Well, Horse Station Qingshui Bridge" means that hundreds of ancestral halls and academies once gathered along Education Road and West Lake Road, Longzang Street, Flowing Water Well and Da Ma Station. The former site of Lujiang Academy opposite Guangzhou Education Bureau is located at No.29 Liushuijing. Founded in 1808, the academy has a history of more than 200 years. In 2018, it was transformed into Lingnan Finance Museum. No.69 Education Road is the original Education Road Primary School, which was built in 1927 and adjacent to Guangzhou Education Bureau. This school also has a history of nearly a hundred years. In June 2019, Education Road Primary School was merged into Huimin Primary School. The Millennium Business Capital, Centennial Flower Market, Education Road and West Lake Road were once the resorts for Guangzhou people to visit the flower market. The formation of Guangzhou Flower Market can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Lunar New Year Fair was gradually formed. From the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month to New Year’s Eve, Guangzhou people must go to the flower market "Walking Flower Street" every year, which is the custom of "old Guangzhou", especially the flower market on Education Road and Xihu Road enjoys the reputation of "Hundred Years Flower Market". The glorious past is precipitated in the noise of the city, but it still shines.As today’s education department, Guangzhou Education Bureau is still rooted here, educating people by virtue, and striving to build a new education system of "fairness, Excellence, vitality, innovation, openness and tolerance". Nowadays, the quality of basic education in Guangzhou is balanced. In September this year, 96 public schools/schools (parks) were newly put into use in Guangzhou, and a number of private schools ushered in the first semester after the "transfer to public", and the number of public degrees in basic education was expanded to 145,000. Openness and tolerance is the urban culture of Guangzhou, which attracts talents from all corners of the country to settle in Guangzhou, which also determines that Guangzhou education must be open and inclusive to meet the needs of cultivating people. Guangzhou adopts collectivization to realize the balanced development of education. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, Guangzhou added 482 basic education schools with 344,500 degrees. As of March 2022, 131 education groups have been established in the basic education stage of the city, covering all sections of primary and secondary schools and kindergartens, so that more children can "read books" at home. Among them, 21 education groups were rated as the training objects of provincial-level high-quality basic education groups, ranking first in the province. Guangzhou’s vocational education leads the country. Two years ago, 24-year-old Zeng Junqin, a first-line craftsman of Guangqi Honda, walked into the Great Hall of the People for the first time and took the stage as a "national model worker" to receive the award. This honor is the highest affirmation for front-line workers and skilled workers. Zeng Junqin’s success is inseparable from the growth opportunities given by the company and the skills competition platform given by his school. Previously, Zeng Junqin was a student in a vocational school in Guangzhou.From a boy who was obsessed with playing games before entering school, to winning the first prize in the National Skills Competition when he graduated, and then stepping into the society to realize his dream of serving the country with skills: his growth process is a microcosm of Guangzhou’s vocational skills education leading the country. In the university town, you can attend "many universities" in four years. Today, Guangzhou has assembled 97% of national key disciplines and 80% of universities in Guangdong Province. It is one of the most developed cities in China and the most densely populated city in southern China, with the largest number of college students in the country. According to the data of Guangzhou Education Bureau, in 2022, there were 84 ordinary colleges and universities in Guangzhou, with a total of 1.549 million students, and seven national "double-class" universities, including Sun Yat-sen University, South China University of Technology and South China Agricultural University, were truly the city of culture and education. South China University of Technology can be traced back to the provincial first-class industrial school established in 1918. It was formally established in 1952 as one of the "four major engineering schools" in new China. In the early spring of 2001, a resounding name-"Guangzhou University Town" was born on a land of 43.3 square kilometers in Xiaoguwei Island and its south bank area in Panyu.
