The author selected more than 400 badges with exquisite designs and good condition from the collection of many old school badges and compiled them into this volume. It is not only a summary of his collection achievements in the past twenty years, but also brings readers an artistic feast about university badges. It also provides a simple review and combing of the development history of higher education in China over the past two decades. Many institutions in the book may have never appeared in the eyes of ordinary readers, and have not left detailed records in history. However, through these exquisite badges handed down, we can see the efforts and attempts made by modern Chinese intellectuals and educators in the process of developing higher education. Perhaps these attempts did not succeed in the end, but the wealth they left to future generations is not just a few exquisite badges, but also the deeper meaning contained in this book.
