Historical evolution

At the beginning of the school

The history of Beijing Jiaotong University can be traced back to 1896. Its predecessor was Beijing Railway Management Institute founded by the Qing government in September 1909.

In the first year of Xuantong (1909), Zeng Kunhua, a member of the Ministry of Posts and telecommunications, drafted the book of railway management school founded by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications after more than ten months of investigation. In the book, he advocated road administration, cultivating railway management talents, and strongly advocated the establishment of railway management school. In the same year, with the approval of the Qing government, Xu Shichang, Minister of the Ministry of Posts and telecommunications, founded the "Railway Management School" in Fuyou street, Beijing. This is the beginning of the founding of Beijing Jiaotong University and the first management school in China. The next year, in order to strengthen the post and telecommunications industry, the school was renamed "communication and study center", which was the beginning of China Telecom Engineering.

In 1912, the Republic of China was founded. The school was transferred to the Ministry of communications of the Republic of China, and was renamed as the "communication and Study Institute of the Ministry of Communications", with the addition of electrical engineering, cable electricity, radio and other subjects, creating a precedent for the cultivation of Communication Talents in China. Later, the Department of telecommunications was established, where a large number of well-known scholars came out, such as academician Jian Shuishui and academician Huang Hongjia. Railway and telecommunication engineering, English and French classes are the foundation of Peiping Jiaotong University. During the period of the Republic of China, there were many talents in transportation, management, accounting and materials.

In 1917, the Ministry of communications of the Republic of China reorganized the school into "Beijing Railway Management School" and "Beijing post and Telecommunications School" according to the differences between railway and post and telecommunications.

In 1921, ye gongchuo, then director of communications of the Beiyang government, ordered the merger of Shanghai Polytechnic School, Beijing railway management school, Beijing post and Telecommunications School and Tangshan polytechnic school, and named it "Jiaotong University". There were three schools in Beijing, Shanghai and Tang Dynasty, and the school was renamed "Jiaotong University Beijing school". Ye gongchuo proposed to run the school according to the European and American education system, set up a board of directors and personally served as the chairman of the board of directors; in the same year, in order to integrate the disciplines of the three schools of Jiaotong University, he transferred the radio, cable electricity, electrical engineering of Ping University and the electrical engineering of Tang university to Shanghai, the civil engineering of Shanghai University to Tang University, and some teachers of traffic management department to Peking University.

In May 1922, ye gongchuo was forced to leave because of the factional dispute of the Beiyang government, and Jiaotong University disintegrated within a year.

In 1923, the University changed its name to "Beijing Jiaotong University".

In 1928, the Nanjing national government replaced the Beiyang government, and Beijing changed its name to Beiping; in June of the same year, the University changed its name to "the third Jiaotong University of the Ministry of Communications"; in September of the same year, the three universities of Ping, Hu and Tang merged again to form "Jiaotong University"; in October of the same year, the University was changed to belong to the Ministry of Railways of the Nanjing National Government.

In February 1929, Sun Ke, then Minister of the Ministry of Railways of the Nanjing National Government, ordered Pingyuan to be independent, and the college was renamed as "Beiping Traffic Management College of Jiaotong University"; in July of the same year, it was also called "Beiping Railway Management College of Jiaotong University".

the period of the war of Resistance Against Japan

In 1937, the Lugouqiao Incident broke out, and Ping and Jin were occupied successively. Due to the tense situation, some students of the national Beiping Institute of railway management, which has always been famous for cultivating advanced industrial technology and management talents at home and abroad, took a sea liner to Shanghai under the guidance of full-time teacher Wang Fangquan. They discussed with Li Zhaohuan, President of Shanghai Jiaotong University, and planned to return to school by borrowing the school building. Shortly after the outbreak of the Anti Japanese war in Shanghai, the Nanjing national government moved westward to Wuhan. At this time, some students gathered in Hankou along the Beijing Guangzhou railway to form an alumni association and called Shanghai to urge Wang Fangquan to preside over the resumption of the college. In the face of the national crisis, Wang Fangquan took the students to Shanghai and traveled back to Jiangxi Province to Hankou by the British Swire company. When Wang Fangquan learned that Gu Yuxiu, a student of his time at Tsinghua University, was with Chen Lifu as the Vice Minister of education, he personally went to Gu to discuss the resumption of school. When the teachers and students met, Gu Yuxiu was deeply moved by Wang Fangquan's spirit of sticking to his teaching position and going to the national calamity together. Later, with the help of Zhang Chong, an alumnus of our school who graduated in 1925, he got the approval of resuming school. Since then, the school of railway management of national Jiaotong University has been able to resume in the fierce war.

In January 1938, Jiaotong University was merged into Tangshan Institute of Engineering in Xiangtan County, Hunan Province, and became the "Department of railway management of Tangshan Institute of technology"; in May of the same year, the school moved to Xiangxiang County, Hunan Province.

Due to the Japanese invasion, in January 1939, the school was forced to move to Pingyue County, Guizhou Province (now Fuquan City, Guizhou Province). There are few books left in the school. At the initiative of Jin Shixuan, an alumnus of Ping Yuan of Jiaotong University, alumni from all over the country collected more than 1000 books for the school. (in 2013, books with the seal of "donation and collection of Chongqing alumni of Ping Yuan College of Jiaotong University" and alumni's seal can also be seen in the library collection of Beijing Jiaotong University. In 2009, the new school history museum of Beijing Jiaotong University was completed. The Fuquan government sent the remains of Pingyue Jiaotong University to Beijing Jiaotong University to commemorate the history of national Jiaotong University moving to Fuquan, Guizhou Province during the Anti Japanese war.)

In July 1941, the Ministry of education of the Republic of China changed the name of "Tangshan Institute of technology of Jiaotong University" to "Tangshan engineering and Beiping railway management Joint College of Jiaotong University". However, due to the strong opposition, the name was not officially used.

In January 1942, the Ministry of education of the Republic of China changed its name to Guizhou branch of national Jiaotong University (including Pingyuan and Tangyuan).

In 1944, the school moved to dingjiaao, Bishan County, Sichuan Province (now Chongqing city), until the end of the Japanese War of aggression against China.

In April 1946, Yuanping academy and Tang Academy were separated, Yuanping academy moved back to Beiping and renamed National Beiping Institute of railway management.

In the early days of the people's Republic of China

In 1949, Beiping was peacefully liberated, and the Chinese people's Liberation Army entered Beiping. In July of the same year, the Ministry of Railways of the Chinese people's Revolutionary Military Commission ordered the national Beiping Railway Management College, North China Communications College and Tangshan Institute of technology to form "China Communications University". Chairman Mao Zedong appointed Mao Yisheng, a bridge expert, as the president, and Jin Shixuan, the founder of China's transportation discipline and a railway transportation expert, as the vice president. The school department is set up in Beijing, and Tangshan school is set up to set up the railway telecommunication department.

In August 1950, the Government Affairs Council of the Central People's government changed the name of China Jiaotong University to "Northern Jiaotong University".

In 1951, Chairman Mao Zedong personally wrote the name of North Jiaotong University. The original copy has been preserved in the History Museum of Beijing Jiaotong University. The four words "Jiaotong University" in the names of Shanghai Jiaotong University and Xi'an Jiaotong University are all obtained from the original placard of the University. In August of the same year, the University moved from the former site of Fuyou street to the current site of Shangyuan village outside Xizhimenwai, and added the Department of railway business.

In 1952, the North Jiaotong University was abolished, and the Beijing and Tangshan academies were independent. The University was renamed Beijing Railway University, which was directly under the leadership of the Ministry of Railways of the Central People's government. During the adjustment of departments, a large number of famous departments, such as materials department and Architecture Department, were transferred to foreign universities; materials management department and materials engineering department were transferred to the newly established Beijing Institute of iron and steel; architecture department, including academician Peng Yigang, was transferred to Tianjin University; materials identification specialty was transferred to Tsinghua University; telecommunication department, telecommunication specialty and Russian specialty were transferred to Harbin Railway University.

In 1953, the Ministry of Railways decided to merge Harbin Railway Institute with Beijing Railway Institute.

In 1954, graduate education began.

In 1956, the Department of railway architecture (Civil Engineering), the Department of railway machinery, the Department of Electrification Engineering and the Department of applied science were newly built and restored.

In 1958, some teachers from the departments of telecommunication, transportation and electrical engineering of Beijing Railway University moved to Lanzhou as a whole. Together with some teachers from Tangshan railway University, Lanzhou Railway University was established. Professor Lin Damei (a scholar studying in the United States), Professor Sun Qiyin, a cable communication expert and Professor ban Jichao, a radio technology expert, are also transferred to Lanzhou Railway University.

In 1960, the CPC Central Committee approved Beijing Railway University as one of the 64 national key universities.

In 1966, when the Cultural Revolution began, the school stopped normal teaching and enrollment.

In 1970, with the approval of Zhou Enlai, the then Premier of the State Council, the University resumed the name of "Northern Jiaotong University"; in the same year, the University planned to move to Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, but it was still running in Beijing due to too many instruments, books and materials.

reform and opening-up

In 1977, after the end of the cultural revolution, the State Council approved the transfer of the school from Shijiazhuang to Beijing, and the school began its normal teaching and enrollment work. In the same year, the school established the Department of electronic engineering.

In 1981, with the approval of the State Council, the University became one of the first batch of doctoral, master's and bachelor's degree awarding units in China. At the same time, the university can examine and approve the qualifications of associate professors, professors and doctoral supervisors by itself.

In 1984, the graduate department was established.

In 1985, the Department of architecture was restored and undergraduate enrollment was resumed; in 1991, the school system was changed to five years.
