The first division is one of the training grounds of Huxiang culture.
In the 31st year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 16 1), the sage Zhang Jun and his son Zhang Qian jointly established Chengnan Academy. In addition to the prison, lecture hall and study room, there are also the Moon Pavilion and Lizetang, which are "in front of the temple" and "in the inkstone pond". Old Sogo, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, described in "Fu to the South Courtyard": "The state of things stares at Ang, and the eternal is the spiritual realm; String songs are only beautiful and elegant. " In the first year of Avenue (1 165), Zhang Shishi began to teach students here after Hu Hong, the originator of Huxiang School. "Lan Zhi rose to the court, and all his sons entered the room", which shows the prosperity of academic atmosphere at that time. Zhu, who is also known as the "Three Sages of Southeast China" with Zhang Qian, also came here, and "Zhang Zhu can talk" became a classic in the history of Huxiang culture. There is such a record in the annals of the south of the city academy: "The rise of the south of the city has its own song, which is equal to Yuelu Mountain. Across the river, each with the voice of the sages will stay forever, and also face each other from a distance. " This shows the prestige and influence of Chengnan Academy at that time. After Zhang Qian and Zhu, Qi Lizao visited Hunan and gave lectures in the south of the city. Daoguang personally inscribed the plaque of "Li Zefeng Chang" as a "reward". Chen Benqin, Sun, He, Guo Songtao and other famous people in central Hunan once gave lectures here. Scholars Zeng Guofan, Li Zuo, democratic revolutionaries Huang Xing and Chen Tianhua, famous educators Yang Changji and Tan Yunshan, celebrities Deng Fulun, Fan Zui, Yang Duanliu and Pi Zongshi are also collected here.
The essence of Huxiang culture is mainly manifested in the spirit of "firm persistence and persistent pursuit of ideals and beliefs"; The patriotic spirit of caring for the country and the people and taking the world as its own responsibility; The innovative spirit of seeking change and innovation and strengthening reform; Pragmatic spirit of seeking truth and being pragmatic; Open spirit of inclusiveness and eclecticism; Dare to act, dare to be the first. "History has proved that these spirits were first and most fully reflected in the blood of the first division.

The First Division is one of the birthplaces of China Revolution.
From the May 4th Movement to the Great Revolutionary Movement, the teachers and students of No.1 Normal University not only actively reformed the school education, but also made profound changes in all aspects of the school, and together with the people of the whole province, they waged an indomitable struggle against the aggression of imperialist powers and the reactionary rule of feudal warlords.
"East is red, the sun rises". Before the sun jumped out of the horizon, the first division had taken the lead in bathing in the glory of the sun mentally, although this glory was still surrounded by darkness.
On the eve and early days of the founding of China * *, Mao Zedong, He Shuheng and other first normal school students carried out extensive and in-depth revolutionary activities in Hunan, including student movement, Zhang Zhang movement and new culture movement, especially after 192 1, the workers' movement and farmers' movement were in full swing. In revolutionary activities, he established, developed and rapidly expanded the party and league organizations and trained a large number of revolutionary backbones. In the first revolutionary civil war, the teachers and students of the first division always stood in the forefront of the struggle. To this end, the first division has also made great sacrifices. About 100 revolutionary alumni of the first division were brutally killed by the reactionary Kuomintang government. It is these unyielding blood that inspired a group of teachers to wave upon wave and sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and to shine in the long revolutionary years to come. 193 1 year, the artillery fire on September 18th set off a wave of resisting Japan and saving the nation for the First Division. The March of Saving the Nation, March of the Volunteers and Song of the Dockmen stirred up the First Division, and the weekly report of the First Division, the Training of the First Division and the Semimonthly report of the First Division became powerful weapons for the First Division to publicize the thought of resisting Japan and saving the nation. Shortly after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the teachers and students of the First Normal University plunged into the magnificent wave of anti-hunger and anti-civil war ... until the dawn of 1949, spring warmed the world.
A new world. A new department.
After the founding of New China, under the leadership of the Party and the government, Mao Zedong, Xu Teli and other old alumni showed infinite concern for the construction of the First Division. Mao Zedong alone sent 1 1 telegrams, letters, inscriptions and oral instructions to the first division. Under the new historical situation, the teachers and students of the whole school inherit and carry forward the glorious revolutionary tradition and excellent educational tradition, and from the reality of socialist revolution and construction, they have carried out a series of reforms in educational ideas, teaching contents, teaching methods and school management, and batches of qualified first normal graduates have gone to three provinces, four rivers and north and south to become the backbone of the education front. Although the first division was not spared in the ten-year turmoil, it quickly stood up again. After the downfall of the Gang of Four, all the teachers and staff of the First Division worked hard to build the First Division into an experimental, exemplary, high-quality and distinctive national first-class normal school. Especially since the reform and opening up, the work of the First Normal University has made rapid progress, the scale of running a school has been growing day by day, and the quality of education has been improving day by day. It has been listed as a national key normal school, a national advanced cultural and educational unit, a national key cultural relic protection unit and a national patriotic education demonstration base. An era of higher normal education belonging to the First Normal University is connecting the past with the future and opening up the future!

The First Normal School is one of the cradles of normal education in China.
As early as 1903, when Hunan Normal University was founded, the first division established its own position and consciously assumed the special mission in the special historical period. Since 1909, the first normal school has always been "aiming at training primary school teachers", keeping pace with the times and conforming to the needs of the times, and actively undertaking the task of training in-service primary school teachers. The first division has always relied on intellectuals to run schools. Especially after the Revolution of 1911, the First Division has hired many intellectuals with progressive ideas, high moral character and profound knowledge, such as Yang Changji, Xu Teli, Fang, Wang, Li, Li Da, Tian Han, Xie Juezai, and so on. For a long time, the first normal school regards teaching as the main way to impart knowledge, train skills and cultivate ideas to students. 1953, the first normal college clearly put forward that teaching should be the center, arranged teaching activities in an all-round way, and quickly established a normal teaching order. Under the influence of the Revolution of 1911, the First Division once advocated "paying equal attention to morality, intelligence and physique" and put forward "taking the world outlook and outlook on life as the foundation of spiritual education". Before and after liberation, the First Normal University insisted on communist ideological and political education for students. Therefore, most of the students trained by the first teacher have excellent revolutionary tradition, good moral quality and noble ideological realm. Since the New Culture Movement, the First Normal School has adhered to the combination of physical education teaching, extracurricular exercise and sports competition, which not only strengthened students' physique, trained physical education teachers for primary education, but also trained a large number of physical education talents. In the aspect of cultivating students' autonomy, the First Normal University regards "advocating automaticity" and "cultivating students' autonomy" as the basic requirements for implementing the democratic education policy, and purposefully takes various measures to cultivate students' ability to work independently, which has won wide acclaim from the society. From the Revolution of 1911 to the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the First Division took the opportunity of advocating new democracy, and various societies sprang up, and academic research became a common practice. The students of the First Normal University spontaneously set up progressive publications such as Dongfanghong, Miao Feng, Big Dipper and Cradle, and organized societies such as Hundred Flowers Garden. In the teaching and research of educational disciplines, the First Normal University set up psychology, pedagogy and various teaching methods as early as before and after the Revolution of 1911, equipped with the director of educational practice, and implemented the system of primary school professors and management practice. After the May 4th Movement, primary education research associations, children's literature research associations and children's education research associations were established among teachers and students. After liberation, the teaching and research of educational disciplines were continuously strengthened, and the educational science research room was established to explore the laws of normal and primary education. In the construction of affiliated elementary schools, starting from 19 1978, one normal university has maintained two affiliated elementary schools for a long time. 1978, The Primary School Attached to No.1 Normal University has been listed as a national key primary school, and it has also become a famous school inside and outside the province, providing an ideal place for teaching and scientific research in normal universities, as well as educational practice, probation and observation of normal students. Therefore, entering a normal school is like opening an encyclopedia of normal education.
Take "being a teacher of the people, being a student of the people first" as the school motto; The school spirit is "seeking truth from facts and not being self-righteous". Teachers carry not only education itself, but also an educational spirit with teachers' characteristics.

Millennium University, a century-old teacher. Eight characters, every word is as heavy as gold, and every word is as bright as gold.
"The sound of self-love, loud and clear, tugging at the staff", in the fertile soil of Zhong Ling No.1 Normal University, how many earth-shattering stories have been interpreted for thousands of years, how many people with lofty ideals have been hastily left behind, and how many musicians have emerged in various times.
When the world is different!
By the ancient well spring and in front of the gentleman's pavilion, looking back on the past is not moving. No matter the hard times or the glorious times, the First Division always holds high the lamp of faith and ideal to illuminate the world and all the teachers who are burning, busy and crazy for the world. Standing on the broad and heavy shoulders of history, I believe that the world once again touched and felt the extraordinary heartbeat and thorough light of the teacher.

If you stand higher, you can see farther.
In April 2008, with the approval of the Ministry of Education, the First Normal College was upgraded to a normal normal college and renamed Hunan First Normal College. Now it is the national primary and secondary school backbone teacher training base, the province's primary school teacher training and teaching and research reform base. This is the result of the pioneering spirit of the First Division and the concerted efforts of Qi Xin, and it is also a new historical mission entrusted to the First Division by the times. From "30 houses and 26 basic gardens" a thousand years ago to 1.346 mu today, including nearly 500,000 square meters of built and newly built buildings; From class 0 of 1903 with 65438+60 students to more than 3000 full-time college students at present, the first normal school has its own breadth and height in the accumulation of years, both spiritually and materially.
"To serve basic education for the purpose; Based in Hunan, facing the whole country; Give priority to the development of teacher education and undergraduate education, and adhere to the combination of pre-job training and post-job training. " This is the self-orientation of the first division at present. The First Normal University will keep pace with the times, blaze new trails, and strive to build the school into a well-known normal college with distinctive characteristics, leading in China, focusing on training high-quality primary school teachers, training high-quality primary school teachers and other applied talents for Hunan and even the whole country, and writing a new chapter in serving the development of basic education and local economic construction.
Land (dry)
The First Normal University, a fertile cultural ground with profound connotations, has undergone profound changes in the past hundred years, especially in the last ten years, and is showing vigorous development vitality.
What we want to say is: Like the coming spring, Hunan No.1 Normal University, which enjoys the reputation of "Millennium University and Centennial Normal University", is actually very young.
Now, and certainly in the future.
