鸦片战争后,晚清政府开始了一系列的变革,在教育领域则实行派出大批留学生、兴办新式学堂等措施学习西方文明。同时,由于日本在甲午战争中成为战胜国,显示了日本向西方学习后的强大实力,因此,毗邻中国的日本成为当时教育改革的模仿对象。此中,中国各地纷纷设立师范学堂,因国内师资严重不足,雇佣大批日本人“教习”来华任教。这一举措曾在新式学堂兴起初期风行一时。日本作曲家、音乐教育家近森出来治(1)作为众多日本教习中的一员,曾于1905—1909年近四年间在直隶优级师范学堂(今河北省保定市)任教,教授音乐。 After the Opium War, the government of the late Qing Dynasty began a series of changes. In the field of education, it implemented the measures of sending large numbers of foreign students and setting up new schools to study Western civilization. At the same time, because Japan became a victorious nation during the Sino-Japanese War, showing the great strength of Japan after it learned from the West, Japan adjacent to China became an imitation of the then educational reform. Among these, normal schools have been set up in various parts of China. Due to a serious shortage of domestic teachers, a large number of Japanese teachers were hired to teach in China. This measure was once popular in the early days of the new school. Japanese composer, music educator Mori Mori (1) As one of many Japanese teachers, he taught and taught music at Zhili Excellent Teachers College (now Baoding, Hebei Province) for nearly four years 1905-1909.
