The rise of the Eight Banners school education in the Qing Dynasty was the product of the “Manchu Language and Riding-Shooting” policy, whose purpose was not only to cultivate the banner-men and create a positive, enterprising spirit of the literati but also to develop conscious loyalty, patriotism, and recognition of the crown. Although the banner education was focused on Manchu language and the Riding-Shooting program, which symbolized the so-called fundamentals of the Qing Dynasty, translation was also an important part of the curriculum and examination in many banner schools, where there were not only permanent instructors of translation but also strict and standardized assessment methods and reward or punishment manuals. As a good example in this regard, the Xian’an Palace Official School had not only clear-cut teaching goals but also sound school-running models. Although its teaching effect was hindered by factors like the recruitment of instructors, enrollment of students, and prospect of their official careers, it undoubtedly practiced and promoted the translation education of concerned banners and cultivated many scholars, high-rank officials, and translators for the ethnic exchanges and state governance.
