School history

School predecessor

Southwest Normal University

On April 18, 1906, the Qing government officially established the first formal normal school in Chongqing, Guanli Chuandong normal school.

 

In 1914, the East Sichuan normal school jointly established by 36 counties was renamed "East Sichuan joint county normal school".

In 1916, because of the winter vacation last year, the school was occupied by the army. In the spring of that year, the school was forced to rent Guanyin liangchuanbang public house and nearby houses, and moved back to its original site in the autumn of the same year.

In the autumn of 1917, the school was occupied by the army and had to move to the Confucian temple in Baxian county (Xiaoxue street, now Hongxue lane, Jiefang East Road, central Chongqing).

In 1920, the garrison withdrew from the school and the school moved back to its original site.

 

In 1928, the United county normal school in eastern Sichuan was on the verge of bankruptcy. Liu Xiang, commander of the 21st army, decided to suspend Chuandong normal school because of the financial difficulties and the complicated situation of teachers and students, so he assigned Gan Jiyong, who just took over as Daoyin of Chuandong, to the school to handle the closure. However, it was strongly opposed by teachers, students and all walks of life. Principal Gan Jiyong held a maintenance meeting to discuss the existence or abolition of the school. The meeting decided that the school would continue to handle the problem. The maintenance meeting was reorganized as the school board and Dao Yin as the president. In the same year, he put forward the school motto: "carry on the cause and open up the future".

In 1930, Gan Jiyong sold the old school site which was no longer suitable, and bought more than 7000 abbots' land to build a new school building in shimagang (now Chongqing People's Cultural Palace) outside Tongyuan gate. In the spring of 1930, when the old school site was sold and the new school building had not been completed, the school temporarily rented the former site of agricultural middle school in Ba County of Zengjiayan and Longquanguan as temporary school buildings. At the end of 1930, Zeng Jiayan moved to the new site.

 

In 1931, the name of Chuandong Normal University was changed to "Chuandong United County Higher Normal University", and a project of Two-year Higher Normal University was added. In January of the same year, Sichuan Provincial Department of education transmitted the order of the Ministry of education, and East Sichuan United county normal school was renamed "East Sichuan common normal school".

 

 

In the autumn of 1932, the East Sichuan Gongli normal school set up the specialized subject of rural normal education and the central farm.

In the spring of 1933, more than 700 mu of mintian, such as Ciqikou dizang temple, was rented as a new school site and experimental farm, and then more than 800 mu of Fenghuang Mountain official land was bought to officially establish the experimental farm. In February, the rural normal specialized section of East Sichuan Gongli normal school moved to the new site of Ciqikou. In July, the Sichuan provincial government allocated 40000 yuan to change the specialized subject of rural normal education into Sichuan Rural Construction College, which was separated from the East Sichuan common normal school to become an independent university. In August, Sichuan rural construction college was officially established and began to recruit undergraduates. Gan Jiyong was the president and director of the college.

 

 

 

From the end of 1934 to the beginning of 1935, the name of East Sichuan joint normal school was changed to "East Sichuan joint normal school".

In August 1936, Sichuan Provincial Department of education changed Sichuan Rural Construction College into "Sichuan Provincial College of education". Gao Xianjian, who was transferred in 1935, was employed as the president of the college. There were two departments, namely rural education department and agricultural education department.

 

In May 1939, when the Japanese invaders bombed Chongqing, the school moved to tuogufen Bay, Donghai, Baisha Town, Jiangjin.

 

In August 1940, East Sichuan LIANLI normal school was renamed "East Sichuan Normal School".

 

In May 1946, the school moved back to the original site of shimagang from Donghai tuogufen Bay, Baisha Town, Jiangjin.

 

From 1947 to 1949, there were nine departments in Sichuan Education College, including the Department of education, the Department of Chinese literature, the Department of English, the Department of history and geography, the Department of mathematics, the Department of natural history, the Department of Agronomy, the Department of agricultural system and the Department of Horticulture.

 

On October 12, 1950, with the approval of the Ministry of education of the Central People's government, Sichuan Provincial Institute of Education (6 departments of normal education) and the National Women's normal university founded in 1940 were merged into southwest Normal University. After the merger of the two universities, most of the staff and their families of the women's Normal College moved from the former site of Jiaotong University in Huangjueping to the former Sichuan College in Ciqikou. Considering that the former Sichuan Education College located in Ciqikou was relatively narrow, which was not conducive to future development, the Ministry of culture and education of Southwest China appropriated 1200 mu of land opposite Chongqing University in Shapingba, and allocated 16 billion yuan (RMB old currency system) as the first phase of construction funds to build new teaching buildings and dormitories, and relocated the staff of Southwest Normal University from Ciqikou to the new campus in Shapingba.

Therefore, the teachers, students and their family members of Southwest Normal University moved from Ciqikou and Shapingba to the new site of Tianshengqiao in Beibei, which is now the North District of Southwest University. The original site of Shapingba and all the houses and furniture are allocated to Chongqing Institute of Civil Engineering (later Chongqing Jianzhu University, now Chongqing University Zone B), and the original site of Ciqikou is allocated to the teacher training department of Southwest University.

 

 

 

In August 1953, when the departments and classes of Higher Normal Universities in Southwest China were adjusted again, some teachers and students from the mathematics and physics departments of Sichuan Normal University, the education, Chinese, history and geography, physics and chemistry departments of Guiyang Normal University, the history and geography, physics, chemistry and biology departments of Kunming Normal University, and the nutrition and conservation group of Sichuan Medical College were merged into the Western Normal University, In addition, 222 teachers and students from the Department of Geosciences of Sichuan University were merged into the Western Normal University.

 

In 1970, according to the instructions of the Military Commission Working Group and the prime minister's office, the atomic Engineering Department of "Harbin military industry" merged with some specialties of "Harbin University of technology" and moved to Chongqing to establish Chongqing University of technology, which was stationed in Southwest Normal University. Southwest Normal University moved to a middle school in Liangping.

 

In 1973, Southwest Normal University moved back to Beibei.

Southwest Agricultural University

Former Southwest Agricultural University

In 1950, Sichuan Provincial College of Education (3 departments of Agricultural Sciences), Xianghui College of grammar and Law (related departments of Agronomy) founded in 1946 and Xiehe University (Department of Agronomy) founded in 1910 were merged to form Southwest Agricultural College. The southwest ministry of culture and education determined that the private Xianghui College of grammar and law in Beibei (Xiaba, Beibei, the former site of Fudan University in Chongqing) is the site of Xinong.

 

 

In 1952, in the course of the adjustment of colleges and departments, there were the Horticulture Department, sericulture department, agricultural economics department, plant diseases and insect pests department and Agricultural Chemistry Department of Sichuan University; the Horticulture Department and sericulture Department of Yunnan University; the Agricultural Chemistry Department, agricultural economics department and plant diseases and insect pests Department of Guizhou University; the related agricultural departments of Chongqing University, the Agricultural Economics Department of North Sichuan University and the sericulture Department of Leshan technical college The Horticulture Department, agronomy department and Animal Husbandry Department of Xichang technical college were merged into the school.

 

As Xiaba is an alluvial plain, it has been inundated by the flood of Jialing River for many times in history. For the long-term development of the school, a site selection group was set up in the same year. The new site was initially selected in Shapingba, behind today's Nankai Middle School, Chongqing Normal University, the original Chongqing Architecture College (now area C of Chongqing University) and qinjiagang town. After the site was selected, the Department of architecture of Chongqing University was entrusted to do the surveying and planning for the new site. However, because the Agricultural College needed a large number of experimental fields, and Shapingba was mainly planned for urban construction at that time, the planning scheme failed immediately. Finally, Beibei agricultural experimental farm, the former West China experimental area of American Association for rural rehabilitation, located in Tianshengqiao, Beibei, is determined as the new school site.

 

In 1954, the new campus of Southwest Agricultural College was completed in the summer vacation. Xinong moved from Xiaba in Beibei to Tianshengqiao in Beibei, which is now the South District of Southwest University.

In 1979, with the approval of the State Council, the University became a national key university directly under the leadership of the Ministry of agriculture.

In 1981, with the approval of the State Council, the University became one of the first batch of doctoral and master degree awarding units in China
