1, the economic development of "a big coal province".

Coal, known as "black gold", is one of the important energy sources in human life. As a major coal province in China, 37% of the province's area is coal resources, but Shanxi's economy has not developed as well as expected, and Taiyuan, the provincial capital, has not even developed as well as the prefecture-level cities in coastal provinces.

2. The glorious past of Shanxi University.

However, local people in Shanxi know that in addition to these two universities, there is also a powerful university in Shanxi, which was once as famous as Peking University, and its teaching quality is not inferior to Tsinghua University, and it is Shanxi University. Shanxi University was founded in 1902, and its predecessor was Shanxi University Hall.

3. Shanxi University "fell off the altar".

1952, in line with the national university reform policy, Shanxi University began to split, and the Institute of Technology developed into the only 21/kloc-0 university in Shanxi, Taiyuan University of Technology, Medical College into Shanxi Medical University, College of Arts and Sciences into Shanxi Normal University, and Law Department into a famous major in Peking University. The School of Finance and Economics developed into a major of Renmin University of China, and textile engineering was merged into Northwestern Polytechnical University.

The future of Shanxi University can be expected.

If Shanxi University hadn't split its departments, it would have been one of the top universities in China, and perhaps it could keep pace with Tsinghua and Peking University and occupy a place in the world university rankings. Besides, when it comes to "Shanda", people first think of Shanxi University, and there will be no "dispute between Shanda and Shanxi".
