The Evolution of University Academic Culture in the Early Stage of the People's Republic of China:Performance and Motivation
University academic culture,shaped by thousands of years of accumulation,has tradition-ally maintained a relatively stable value system and pursuit of meaning.After the founding of the Peo-ple's Republic of China,under the influence of multiple factors such as the new socialist political sys-tem,the planned economy,and fundamental changes in social structure,university academic culture e-volved and was reconstructed to form a new academic culture that adapted to the development of the times.This evolution is primarily reflected in the following aspects:the pursuit of academic value shif-ted from individual"leisure products"to public"people's science,"the self-organization of academic production shifted to"planned learning,"and the academic ecological environment changed from one of freedom and stability to one marked by complexity and variability.Although this evolution altered the established trajectory of academic research that had been nurtured by traditional academic culture,it ef-fectively guaranteed and promoted the economic,social,and cultural development of the new China during a unique historical period,holding significant historical and practical value.Moving forward,ac-ademic development in China should ensure the inclusiveness and responsibility of academic value,maintain the integrity and diversity of academic ecology,safeguard the stability and tolerance of the aca-demic environment,and protect the nobility and intrinsic motivation of academic exploration.
