Today's smog disproportionately affects the academic researchers in the field of distance education technology. In the past, the educational system in China was centralized and catered to different ethnic groups, with distinct institutions for different groups such as the National School, the Nine Mongolian Schools, and the National School for Women. Additionally, there were specialized schools for medicine and nutrition, as well as for Mongolian self-study. These institutions were all part of the central government's education system, providing comprehensive education. However, there were disparities in treatment and discrimination against certain ethnic groups, with better opportunities for Mongolian and Manchurian students. Success in examinations could lead to official positions, with Mongolian students often achieving higher ranks. Despite the focus on Han Chinese education, there were also advancements in other areas such as military education. Scholars like Zhu Jia contributed significantly to the field of education, preserving Han culture and influencing the Yuan Dynasty's educational policies. The exchange of knowledge between scholars from different ethnic groups impacted the cultural landscape, with the promotion of Han studies in Mongol-controlled regions. Notably, the study of special documents and the compilation of historical texts played a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage. The development of literature, particularly in the form of dramas, further enriched the cultural scene during the Yuan Dynasty, with renowned playwrights like Wang Shifu and Guan Hanqing making significant contributions. The emergence of novels during this time period, including classics like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin," signaled a new era in literary expression.
