During the Republic of China period, China's higher education field began to pay attention to the basic courses and interdisciplinary liberal studies courses, forming the concept of liberal studies education, which is “liberal studies as the foundation and specialization as the end”. National Peking University, as the first national comprehensive university in the Republic of China period, opened many courses compatible with arts and sciences in national universities earlier, which had a positive influence on the general education of colleges and universities in the Republic of China period or nowadays, and also laid a solid foundation for cultivating composite talents in our country. This paper provides useful experience for the setting of general education courses in colleges and universities nowadays.
