[The Peking pharmacy institute and its teaching in the period of the Republic of China].

The Peking Pharmacy Institute, as the first independent pharmacy college in China, symbolised the beginning of the era of Chines people establishing pharmacy colleges and had a unique historical status and value. This is because it started in the period of the Republic of China, when Chinese pharmaceutical education was extremely deficient. Additionally, it had an important impact on pharmaceutical education in following generations as the predecessor of the Beijing Health Vocational College. This paper reports on the collation of relevant archives and historical materials, examination and exploration of its historical development, administration and teaching system, and analysis of its school-running characteristics and its historical meanings and limitations, hoping to provide references for current pharmacy teaching.
