| Chinese mass education, which has a rather important status in the mordern history of Chinese education, originated from the end of Qing Dynasty, then rose on the middle -later stage in Republic of China. Sichuan's mass education developed with Chinese mass education at the same time. It makes Sichuan became one of the original areas of Chinese mass education. The Defense Area Times is a special period in the history of Sichuan, which lasted 17 years. It began in the April of 1919 when Xiong Kewu formally claimed "the chart on defence areas for each group of the army in QingGuo of Sichuan" .Then the system of defense Areas became concrete one until in the beginning of 1935 the government of Sichuan united in due form. During the period ,the warlords of Sichuan got all of the powers in military, politics, finances, education of their own defence areas. The Military and government of each defence area depended on each other. In defense area ,the leader of army could control every thing , such as :the promotion of officers, the appoint and remove of local governor, the setting and remove of rules, the facilities of the government, the collection of taxes and so on . No matter it was the policy coming from the Central Government of state or from the government of Sichuan, it couldn't be carried out in the denfense area if the leader of local army didn't accept it. The warlords tyrannized and collected many taxes from common people, in order to own a bigger defense area, they had more than 400 fights. As a result, people here were forced to leave their home town, the villages became ruins. Under such condition, Sichuan's mass education still developed a litile by the efforts of every field, which established a certain basis for the development of fartherSichuan's mass education.The thesis has systematically analysed and discussed the origin of Sichuan's mass education, the reasons of the development, the facilities and the educational content of Sichuan's mass education in defense area times.
