On May 20th, 2002, nine universities, including Nanjing University, Southeast University, Nanjing Normal University, Hohai University, Nanjing University of Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing Forestry University, Jiangsu University and Jiangnan University, jointly held a centenary celebration, and each university was awarded a bronze tripod by the provincial government, on which the centenary history of each school was written, which became a much-told story.

Maybe this batch of souvenirs is an order from 10, and it's not just these nine schools that received Ding. As early as the day before, that is, May 19, Yangzhou University received a bronze tripod presented by the provincial government to celebrate the "centenary celebration". Of course, like several other century-old universities, Yangzhou University's 10 anniversary dates back to 1902. Tonghai Agricultural School, founded by Zhang Jian, an industrialist in the late Qing Dynasty, is located in Nantong.
