Abstract：The order of positions in education refers to the definition of the spatiality (which means timeliness at the same time) of the educated individuals. The daily educational practice defined by the order shows some structural characteristics in the characteristics of social space-time. Therefore, the educational order of positions is in fact a special social space-time structure bred in the spatial practice of ancient China. From this point of view, the author interprets the "fen zhai teaching method" of the Imperial College in the song dynasty and clarifies its historical truth. With the change of the tang and song dynasties, the Imperial College in the song dynasty underwent a far-reaching spatial reconstruction and constructed a new educational order system through "fenzhai", thus shaping the unique architectural spatial form and daily educational life of "zhai yard". The system shows the spatial nature of the two contradictions, which is rooted in the internal contradiction of the integration of learning and selecting the scholar in the song dynasty. Different reform factions have adopted different spatial strategies in response to this contradiction. Since this contradiction has not been effectively solved, on the one hand it directly leads to the corruption of the imperial college education, on the other hand it indirectly intensifies the differentiation and opposition between the official school and the academy.
