I also accepted the capital investment from the Zhejiang provincial government and the Hangzhou municipal government. Because of the huge amount of research funds in their schools and the large donations from alumni, the capital budget of Zhejiang University even exceeded that of Peking University. But now many people say that the schools with the most state funding are engineering or liberal arts colleges, and there are not many art colleges. The richest university in China belongs to Tsinghua University, which is 65 times more than the funding of the Central Academy of Drama.
There is a question in many people's hearts, so how should art colleges conduct scientific research? I think the first thing to know is that the investment in art is not particularly large, which may be compared with scientific research projects. Scientific research results are very useful to our human life. Art colleges are also trying to train more artistic talents in artistic creation, but it is difficult for art colleges to engage in scientific research because of different majors and different learning directions.
The social needs they face are also different, so in terms of art, it is mainly to provide elegant art to the public, mainly to let people see the existence of many arts in their lives, rather than to let some scientific and technological research institutes in people's lives learn.
