Sichuan International Studies University, located in Chongqing, is a municipal university. This situation of Sichuan International Studies University is completely opposite to that of Hebei University of Technology in Tianjin.
Sichuan International Studies University, why not change its name to Chongqing International Studies University?
In fact, when Sichuan International Studies University was renamed 20 13, Chongqing International Studies University was not considered. On the one hand, Sichuan International Studies University is worried that once it is renamed Chongqing International Studies University, Sichuan will probably start to build a new Sichuan International Studies University immediately. On the other hand, the brand of Sichuan International Studies University is famous all over the country and deeply rooted in people's hearts. Alumni of Sichuan International Studies University have deep feelings for Sichuan International Studies University.
In addition to the name of Chongqing International Studies University, Sichuan International Studies University also considered Southwest International Studies University, but it may not be approved by the Ministry of Education in the end.
Surprisingly, a few years later, Luzhou Medical College, which was not well-known in strength and fame, was renamed Southwest Medical University. However, at that time, Luzhou Medical College was approved by the Ministry of Education to be renamed Sichuan Medical University, but it was unexpectedly renamed Southwest Medical University because of the opposition of former alumni of West China Medical University (Sichuan Medical University).
Sichuan International Studies University is an important base for training foreign language and foreign-related talents and studying foreign language and culture, foreign economy and trade and international issues in southwest China. It is one of the nine foreign language universities in China and has the right to award doctoral degrees.
In the fourth round of subject evaluation by the Ministry of Education, the foreign language and literature of Sichuan International Studies University was rated as B+. In southwest China, the foreign language and literature level of Sichuan International Studies University is equivalent to that of Sichuan University and Southwest University, and higher than that of Chongqing University.
Among the nine foreign language universities in China, Sichuan International Studies University ranks middle, weaker than Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University and Guangzhou University of Foreign Studies, comparable to beijing language and culture university and Xi Foreign Studies University, and stronger than Beijing Foreign Studies University, Tianjin Foreign Studies University and Dalian Foreign Studies University.
Let's go back to the original question. Why didn't Sichuan International Studies University change its name to Chongqing International Studies University?
Let's see what Sichuan is.
Sichuan is a geographical concept. Sichuan in a narrow sense is the concept of regionalization, which is today's Sichuan Province. Sichuan in a broad sense is Sichuan in geographical concept, that is, Great Sichuan. Sichuan, between broad sense and narrow sense, is also the concept of regionalization, that is, Sichuan Province before the division of municipalities directly under the central government.
Legend has it that Sichuan is named after the Minjiang River, Tuojiang River, Jialing River and Dadu River. In ancient Chinese, "Chuan" is a river and waterway, but it is only a legend and can't be true.
Sichuan should be named after Sichuan-Shaanxi Four Roads.
In the fourth year of Xianping in the Northern Song Dynasty, Yizhou (later renamed Dufu Road), Zizhou, Lizhou and Kuizhou were set up in Bashu area in the Northern Song Dynasty, which were collectively called "Xia Chuan Four Roads".
Yizhou Road includes Chengdu, Ya 'an and other places; Zizhou Road includes Mianyang East, Suining, Nanchong, Guang 'an, Neijiang, Zigong, Ziyang, Yibin and Luzhou. Kuizhou Road includes Dazhou in Sichuan, Chongqing municipality directly under the Central Government, Enshi Prefecture in Hubei Province and eastern Guizhou Province. Lizhou Road includes Guangyuan, Bazhong and Nanchong in northern Sichuan Province and Hanzhong in Shaanxi Province.
The Yuan Dynasty included Hanzhong in Shaanxi, leaving only three and a half Sichuan.
1997, Chongqing municipality. After that, there were only two and a half Sichuan.
Today's Sichuan Province is only a part of Sichuan in history. Of course, Ganzi, Aba and Liangshan all joined Sichuan in history.
To sum up, Sichuan in a broad sense does not belong exclusively to today's Sichuan Province. As Sichuan, Chongqing should also enjoy the title of Sichuan, just as Sichuan Province is actually only two and a half Sichuan in history.
Therefore, although Sichuan International Studies University is located in Chongqing, it still deserves the naming right of Sichuan.
The general trend of the world, divided for a long time, divided for a long time, divided for a long time, divided for a long time.
This should be the main reason why Sichuan International Studies University did not change its name to Chongqing International Studies University.
