Shanxi University used to be the best university in Shanxi. Generally speaking, Shanda in Shanxi Province refers to Shanxi University. But nationwide, it generally refers to Shandong University. In fact, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shanxi University, with a longer history, was qualified to be called Shanda nationwide.
But now Shandong University is 985, and Shanxi University is 2 1 1. The name of Natural Mountain is national, and gradually it only refers to Shandong University. Shanxi University, a century-old prestigious school, has undergone two major changes since its establishment. 1 is the national department adjustment 1952, and the second time is the competition 2 1 1 quota.
The School of Law of Shanxi University was changed to the School of Finance and Economics, and it was placed under Renmin University of China, including three departments of economics, business administration and accounting. In addition to the four departments of Taiyuan University of Technology, seven departments of engineering college of shanxi university participated in the establishment of the then Beijing Institute of Iron and Steel.
The Department of Textile Engineering and the Department of Mining joined the Northwest Institute of Technology. Beijing Institute of Iron and Steel later developed into University of Science and Technology Beijing with 2 1 1 university, and Northwestern Polytechnical Institute later developed into Northwestern Polytechnical University with 985 university.
Shanxi University is divided into three 985 universities, namely Peking University, Northwestern Polytechnical University and China Renmin University, two 2 1 1 universities, and two ordinary universities, namely Shanxi University and Shanxi Medical University. Because Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province, was not a regional resident at that time, colleges and universities were basically divided.
The second opportunity missed by Shanxi University, the 2 1 1 selection before 2000. Generally speaking, in order to get the qualifications of 2 1 1 and 985, most powerful institutions will merge and expand their own strength.
1997 Taiyuan University of Technology and Shanxi Institute of Mining under the Ministry of Coal merged to form Taiyuan University of Technology, but Shanxi University did not merge any powerful universities, so it was defeated by 2 1 1!
