The origin of Fudan University's name
Fudan University was formerly known as Sinian College founded by Ma Yu 1902. More than a year after the school started in Sinian, most students, led by Yu Youren, left school angrily because of the interference of French church forces and the usurpation of school administration. 1905, they embraced Ma again and founded Fudan College, the name of which was chosen by Yu Youren, indicating that they would never forget the past of "Sinian", which was of great significance for rejuvenating China. The word "Fudan" comes from "Biography of Yu Xia" in "Biography of Shangshu". Fu Sheng, a great scholar in the 2nd century BC, wrote The Great Biography of Shangshu. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Shangshu in the Six Classics was handed down through his oral instruction. "Yu Xia Chuan" records that Shun Zen gave way to the time, "Clear clouds gather together, gather handsome, everything is harmonious, but the song is clear. The emperor advocated: the cloud is rotten and embarrassing. Sun Moon Guanghua, Dan Fudan. " The word "Fudan" comes from "Qing" sung by Shun. The so-called Qingyun is auspicious. Records of the Historian Tianguan Chronicle records: "If the smoke is not smoke, if the cloud is in Feiyun, you are called Qingyun. Qingyun, happy. " The same correction, the same correction, describes the twists and turns of Qingyun. "The sun and the moon are competing for glory, and Fudan is thriving" means "the generation is bright", and the sun and the moon are shining for a long time, which symbolizes that Shunyu's abdication will bring infinite light and happiness to the world. Yun Ge in Qing Dynasty, because it comes from a legendary saint, has great attraction to people. Moreover, Shun ascended the throne and was enfeoffed in, which was a model of civilian politics, which was quite consistent with the background of overthrowing the imperial system and establishing a harmonious country in the late Qing Dynasty.
