Among them, National Southeast University is now the Southeast University in Nanjing, National Peking University is now the famous Peking University, and National Beiyang University is now Tianjin University in Tianjin. These three universities, without exception, have all become famous 985 universities, so why is the national Shanxi University, now Shanxi University, not famous?
As a Shanxi native, I think I still have a say in this incident.
First of all, it must be related to geographical location. Shanxi is located in the Loess Plateau, deep inland, with inconvenient transportation, and its economic development will be far from that of Beijing, Tianjin and Nanjing, which will inevitably affect the development of Shanxi University. Without capital, schools can't introduce advanced teaching resources. Without high-quality teachers and some high-scoring students, it is bound to want to go to some places with superior economic conditions to develop, and it is impossible to keep outstanding students, and the grade of the school will be lower and lower.
Secondly, it has a certain relationship with the policies of this province. As we all know, Shanxi is a big coal province, and the annual output of coal ranks first in the country, so the economic center of this province is coal. On the contrary, Jiangsu is a big education province. There are a large number of 985 and 2 1 1 in the province, and the policy attaches great importance to the development of these universities, so Southeast University can develop into 985, while Shanxi University can only be ordinary for so many years.
