Historical evolution

In July 1909, China's higher maritime education began in Shanghai. Tang Wenzhi, the supervisor of Shanghai higher industrial school (formerly Nanyang public school) of the Ministry of post and telecommunications in the late Qing Dynasty, added the shipping administration department (navigation specialty) to the school, which lasted for four years, creating a precedent for China's higher maritime education.

In 1911 (the first month of the third year of Xuantong), the Ministry of post and Telecommunications decided to set up a merchant shipping school in Wusong, Shanghai, and ordered Tang Wenzhi to run it. In August, Shanghai wusongpao Taiwan school was built. The school was named "the higher merchant shipping School of the Ministry of Posts and communications". It is still managed by the higher Industrial School of the Ministry of Posts and communications. Tang Wenzhi is the supervisor of the school. Xia sunpeng is appointed as the dean of the school. The shipping department of Shanghai higher industrial school belongs to the merchant shipping school, which is the first Maritime College in Chinese history born in Shanghai.
