The main reasons for the lack of good universities in Henan are as follows: 1. When China University rose around the 20th century, there were no more famous universities except Henan University and Jiaozuo Institute of Mining. 2. In 1950s after the liberation of China, the layout of universities was arranged according to the regional central cities, excluding Henan. 3. In the early days of liberation, Henan's economy was depressed and there were no decent big cities. 4. During the period of "1525", China's large-scale industrial projects in Henan were insufficient, and the natural layout of universities supporting these industrial projects was even less.
