Qufu Normal University originated from Shandong Normal University, and 1955 was founded in Jinan. The following year, it was upgraded to Qufu Teachers College and moved to Qufu. 1985, the school was renamed as Qufu Normal University.

The strength of Qufu Normal University is still good. It is one of the six universities designated as key construction by the provincial people's government, and it is also the first batch of universities in China to recruit graduate students, and was granted the right to confer doctoral degrees at the beginning of the new century.

Feature description

When it was upgraded to a university, Qufu Normal University originally wanted to change its name to Qilu Normal University, and later it wanted to change its name to cheeloo university, but it fell through for various reasons.

Now the name of Qilu Teachers College has been sealed up by Shandong Institute of Education. What would you think if the great man who opposed the name change was still alive? After the first two names could not be used, Qufu Normal University has been entangled in one name for decades. This name is Confucius University. According to vegetarians, this struggle has lasted for more than 30 years.

In recent years, in order to carry forward the traditional culture, the Shandong provincial government has included Confucius University in the provincial university setting plan, which gives Qufu Normal University hope. The new document issued by the Ministry of Education has standardized the renaming of Qufu Normal University. Confucius is a person's name and a somewhat controversial historical figure. It may not be appropriate to name him after this person.
