Historical evolution

Northwest Institute for Nationalities

In September 1949, the first field army of the Chinese people's Liberation Army (PLA), with Peng Dehuai as its commander, established a "research class on Tibetan issues" in Lanzhou, an important town in Northwest China, in accordance with the spirit of Mao Zedong's relevant instructions. In November of the same year, the research class on Tibetan issues was expanded into a Tibetan School. The site of the school was temporarily borrowed from the former site of Lanzhou Agricultural College in the West 30 Li orchard of Lanzhou city.

In January 1950, it was renamed the third Department of Lanzhou Branch of northwest people's revolutionary University. In August, the Northwest Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China submitted a report to the Government Affairs Council for approval, and formally established the Northwest Institute for Nationalities on the basis of the "three departments of the reform University".

 

In March 1951, according to the provisions of the "trial plan for training ethnic minority cadres" and "trial plan for organizing the Central Institute for Nationalities" issued by the former government affairs council, the University set up the Department of Chinese and the Department of political science. The Department of Chinese has three majors: Mongolian, Tibetan and Uyghur. The Department of political science has two classes: Chinese and Uyghur. Set up short-term military and political cadre training classes and departments. The school moved from the temporary site to the second new village in Lanzhou city.

In the second half of 1952, according to the national adjustment plan of colleges and departments, the Department of Ethnology of the College of Arts of Northwest University and the Department of ethnic minority languages of the College of Arts of Lanzhou University were transferred to the Language Department of the college in early November.

In April 1953, with the consent of the northwest Democratic Committee, the northwest procuratorial office entrusted the university to set up a procuratorial class in the Department of justice, and transferred minority students from the Department of politics and law of the northwest people's revolutionary university to this class.

In August 1954, the Central Committee of culture and education, together with the central Ministry of education and the Central Committee for democracy and people's livelihood, announced by telegram on September 14 that the college should be under the direct leadership of the central Ministry of education, under the guidance of the Central Committee for democracy and people's livelihood, and under the specific guidance and management of Gansu Province.

In January 1957, the Ministry of Education decided that the Tibetan junior college students of Qinghai University for nationalities should be merged into the Tibetan major of Qinghai University for nationalities.

In August 1958, the Ministry of education and the Ethnic Affairs Committee jointly issued the notice on devolving the Northwest Institute for nationalities, which decided to devolve the Northwest Institute for Nationalities to Gansu Province. In September, the people's Committee of Gansu Province issued a notice that the Northwest Institute for nationalities will be under the leadership of the Provincial Bureau of higher education with the assistance and guidance of the Provincial Ethnic Affairs Committee.

In 1958, the Ministry of Railways built the national railway department in QIAOYOU college according to the extension of Lanxin and Lanqing lines. In 1959, Gansu Education Department proposed to set up the Department of ethnic education, and then changed it to the Department of political education. In 1960, a Chinese major was set up on a trial basis. Since 1963, four-year undergraduate students have been recruited to train Uygur and other ethnic students. During this period, some specialties were suspended: Mongolian language and literature specialty was suspended in 1960; law department was suspended in 1961; Uygur language and literature specialty was suspended in 1962; railway department was suspended in 1964; art department was suspended in 1965. Due to the three-year difficult period and the suspension of majors, the number of students in school dropped sharply from 1961 to more than 1000 before the cultural revolution.

In April 1970, the Gansu Provincial Revolutionary Committee adopted the decision to abolish the Northwest Institute for nationalities. More than 600 teachers and workers were distributed to all parts of the country, and school production, equipment, and books were carved up.

In October 1972, the State Council instructed the Gansu Provincial Revolutionary Committee to resume the Northwest Institute for nationalities. In March of the next year, with the approval of the State Council, it agreed to resume the Northwest Institute for nationalities. The northwest people's court is mainly oriented to the province, taking into account the northwest region and the Tibet Autonomous Region.

After the restoration in 1973, the majors resumed in those years included Tibetan language and literature, Chinese language and literature, medical treatment and cadre training. Except that the medical department recruits students selected from Tibet to train intermediate medical personnel, the rest recruit workers, peasants and soldiers. In 1974, the major of Mongolian language and literature was restored.

In 1975, the major of Mongolian language and literature in the Foreign Language Department of Gansu Normal University was incorporated into the college.

In February 1979, the State Commission for Ethnic Affairs and the Ministry of Education jointly issued a notice approved by the State Council to change the leadership relationship of Northwest Institute for Nationalities into the dual leadership of the State Ethnic Affairs Commission and Gansu Province, with the State Ethnic Affairs Commission as the main body.
