After the Opium War,Chinese society has entered a period of violent changes rarely seen in history.Frequent social changes are accompanied by the continuous updating and evolution of concepts and culture.Every social change brings about political,economic,and cultural transformations.These transformations promote the innovation and development of education.Modern Chinese women’s education has developed in this turbulent situation.The proposal and practice of male and female students co-education are the inevitable trend of the development of Chinese women’s education and an important link in the reform of China’s education system.It is a part of China’s social transformation that cannot be ignored.As the first batch of open trade port cities,Xiamen was the first to be impacted by Western politics,economy,and culture,providing a good social environment for the germination of modern women’s education.The churches,overseas Chinese and local people set up schools for women,which gave birth to and promoted the development of the modern women’s education system in Xiamen.At the same time,Xiamen’s local social concepts have gradually changed with the unremitting efforts of missionaries and local people of insight,which has made it possible to realize male and female students co-education.In addition,the perennial shortage of education funding in Xiamen under the turbulent times has invisibly boosted the modern Xiamen male and female student co-education movement.After Xiamen’s universities,middle and primary schools have successively achieved male and female students co-education,they have entered a specific stage of practice.Schools at all levels and various types cross the river by feeling the stones and strive to explore education and management models that meet the needs of male and female students.Among them,Xiamen University,Xiamen University Experimental Primary School and other schools have made many useful attempts.The male and female co-education movement in Xiamen in modern times has its own evolutionary model and development experience.On the one hand,it has brought important influences on the local society of Xiamen in terms of gender education equality,social openness and freedom of marriage,and the development of the women’s movement.On the other hand,male and female co-education practice also promoted the research and development of gender education.This article examines the problem of male and female students co-education in modern Xiamen,that is,from the perspective of local society,studies how the development of modern society in Xiamen has contributed to the realization of male and female students co-education at all levels of schools,explores its specific practice and characteristics,and reveals how the movement of male and female students in modern Xiamen has affected Xiamen local society.
