Xiong 'an University, as one of the important contents of implementing the planning outline of xiong'an new area, Hebei Province, only took more than one year from its proposal to its opening. Focusing on the high starting point of building a world-famous university, the school conforms to the high positioning of Cambridge and Harvard University. It is jointly established by 35 domestic 985, 2 1 1 universities including Tsinghua, Peking University, Fudan University and China University of Science and Technology. With such a large scale, this university with a planned area of 170 hectares was widely expected by the public as soon as it was born.

So, is Xiong 'an University really expected to surpass Tsinghua and Peking University? This question still has a certain heat on the Internet.

I don't doubt the possibility that Xiong 'an University will become a world-class prestigious school, and its campus and hardware construction are comparable to those of Tsinghua and Peking University, but I don't agree that the comprehensive strength of Xiong 'an University will surpass that of Tsinghua and Peking University, and it will be difficult to achieve it in at least the next 30 to 50 years.

The comprehensive strength of a university depends on the accumulation of time. University construction is not the same as urban construction. It is not that the campus area has become larger, the building facilities have become beautiful, the scientific research equipment has become stronger, and the number of students has increased. It is a university with strong comprehensive strength, but it needs to work hard on discipline construction.

There are not many ace disciplines, academic masters and scientific research achievements, and their academic influence and social recognition are not strong, and so on. These are all manifestations of the comprehensive strength of universities. However, to make these bigger and stronger, it is by no means overnight, nor can it be effective at spending money. It takes time to accumulate.

There are 35 A disciplines in Peking University, including 265,438+0 A+ disciplines; There are 37 A subjects and 265,438+0 A+ subjects in Tsinghua. Zhejiang University, Beijing Normal University, Fudan University and Shanghai Jiaotong University, followed by Peking University and Tsinghua, have 1 1, 6, 5 and 5 A+ disciplines respectively. It is not difficult to see that Peking University and Tsinghua are far ahead, and it is not within reach for other famous schools to catch up.

Beijing Normal University, Fudan University and Shanghai Jiaotong University are all century-old famous schools. Although Zhejiang University has only been merged for more than 20 years, its predecessor Qiushi College has a history of hundreds of years. They didn't become famous quickly, but only after more than a century of construction and development did they become famous today.

Foreign universities rarely catch up. Let's take a look at those world-class universities, such as Oxford University and Cambridge University, as well as Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale University. These universities have a long history and are far behind domestic universities. Few universities can match and surpass the status and influence of these prestigious schools.

Take Britain as an example. In the early days, there were only Oxford University and Cambridge University. During the Industrial Revolution, there were still only two universities in England, but there were five universities in Scotland, many of which were later established in the capital, London. Today, the University of St Andrews in Scotland, which has a history of hundreds of years, ranks among the top universities in Britain, but it still fails to surpass Oxford University and Cambridge University.

Before the 1960s, the strength of Stanford University had a long way to go compared with that of Harvard and MIT. However, Stanford University has seized the development opportunity of the times, achieved leap-forward development and become a world-class prestigious school with its vast campus and scientific and technological innovation.

It should be noted that Stanford University was founded in 1885. It has been more than 70 years since it became one of the top universities in the world.

In other words, Stanford University did not become a first-class university in just 30 to 50 years, but was also boosted by the dividend of the wave of science and technology of the times, that is, the perfect combination of endogenous development momentum and external development opportunities created Stanford University today. Even in developed countries in Europe and America, few universities catch up after a short period of development and become recognized famous schools.

The establishment and development of Shenzhen University can be used for reference. Shenzhen is a special economic zone established by reform and opening up. There is not much difference between Shenzhen and today's xiong'an new area except when it was founded. There are many similarities between the construction of Xiong 'an University and the original Shenzhen University. How Xiong 'an University will develop in the future can be found in Shenzhen University.

1983 Shenzhen University, which was approved to be established, was originally built by top universities. Peking University is responsible for the construction of Chinese and foreign languages, Tsinghua University is responsible for the construction of electronics and architecture, and China Renmin University is responsible for the economic and legal construction.

Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, Shenzhen's economic strength is obvious to all, and as we all know, its investment in higher education is not comparable to that of other cities in China. China Academy of Social Sciences released 20 18, and China ranked the top 20 in comprehensive economic competitiveness, with Shenzhen ranking first.

Shenzhen University has also caught up with the good times. Taking advantage of the east wind of reform, the comprehensive strength has been continuously enhanced, and it has squeezed into the top 70 among more than 2,000 undergraduate colleges and universities nationwide. However, compared with the comprehensive strength and influence of universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua, there is still a big gap.

The establishment of xiong'an new area, from the starting point of planning and construction, is far from Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. The construction of xiong'an new area will certainly bring great development opportunities to Xiong 'an University, just as Shenzhen is to Shenzhen University. Therefore, the establishment and development of Shenzhen University is still very representative, which can explain some problems and play a positive role in the future construction and development of Xiong 'an University.

It is inevitable that Xiong 'an University will become a world-class university, but it is almost impossible to surpass Peking University and Tsinghua. Unless, as in 1950s, Peking University, Tsinghua or other well-known universities transfer their ace disciplines, teachers and equipment to Xiong 'an University.

Is Xiong 'an University under construction expected to surpass Peking University Tsinghua? what do you think? Welcome to pay attention and leave a comment.
