Tai-xue (English spelling)

Japanese: 太学 - たいがく（英語表記）Tai-xue; T`ai-hsüeh

The highest educational institution in China for training civil servants. It was established in the capital during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. Students recommended or selected from the provinces were taught, and those who passed the examinations became civil servants. During the Tang Dynasty, it educated the children of aristocrats alongside the Imperial Academy, but with the establishment of the imperial examination system in the Song Dynasty, it fell into decline.

中国，官吏養成のための最高学府。前漢の武帝のときに首都におかれた。地方から推薦，選抜された学生を教え，試験に合格すれば官吏とした。唐代には国子監と並んで貴族子弟の教育を行なったが，宋代になって科挙制度が整備されるとともに，これに押されて衰退した。
