Northwest University is located in the ancient city of Xi 'an, and its predecessor, Shaanxi University Hall, was one of the earliest modern universities in China approved by Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty in 192. On this basis, it developed into an early Northwest University after several vicissitudes. During the Anti-Japanese War, Northwest University merged some of the former Peiping University and Northeastern University, which moved westward from Beijing, to form Northwest United University. At that time, it was as famous as Southwest Associated University, which was composed of Tsinghua, Peking University and Nankai University. Since then, many specialized universities in agriculture, forestry, politics, law, medicine, normal universities, nationalities, industry, finance and economics have been differentiated from Northwest University, and Northwest University itself has continued to develop and has become a "211 Project" comprehensive university with complete disciplines such as literature, history, philosophy, economics, management, law, science, engineering and art, and equal emphasis on teaching and scientific research. Over the past 1 years since its establishment, Northwest University has been handed down from generation to generation, bringing up a large number of outstanding talents for the society, including academicians of the Academy of Sciences, writers, poets, critics, economists, technical experts, entrepreneurs, heroes and model figures, and government officials. Northwest University has become one of the most influential and prestigious universities in northern China.
II. Conceptual introduction of our school
Modern College of Northwest University is an independent college which is sponsored by Northwest University and approved by the Ministry of Education to engage in undergraduate education. Modern College inherits the glorious tradition of a century-old prestigious school, promotes education and runs a school with innovative mode, and adapts to the development direction of higher education in China. She is not only the crystallization of history, but also the pride of the times. She is the melting pot and training ground for the new generation to adapt to the new society.
Third, the external environment of our school
Our school is located in the southern suburbs of Xi 'an, a famous ancient city in China. The campus covers a total area of more than 1, mu. Here, overlooking the south (Qinling Mountains) and near Fengshui, it has always been a treasure trove of geomantic omen in history. One of the famous eight scenic spots in Guanzhong, "Smoke in Caotang", is close at hand, and the prototype of the idiom story "Shortcut to the South" takes place here. According to the research of Chinese cultural history experts, the mainstream of Chinese culture originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the origin of Western Zhou culture came from Fengshui, which is the famous "Fenghao Culture". Li Shimin, a great king in the history of our country, worked here in the summer after taking office, and finally died here.
The ancient city of Xi 'an was once the capital of thirteen dynasties, and each dynasty designated it as the royal inner court. There is also a place called "Neiyuan Village" near our school. Since the reform and opening up, people have praised it as the "back garden" of the ancient city and the "green lung" of Xi 'an. Now it has been planned as a humanistic tourism science and education zone in Xi 'an, and it is forbidden to set up factories here, only to develop scientific research and education. In recent years, Electronic Science and Technology University, Xigong University, Petroleum University, Architecture Science and Technology University and Youth Vocational College have successively established schools here. According to the monitoring of environmental experts, the air cleanliness and oxygen content here belong to the most suitable living range, and the groundwater here comes from Qinling Mountain, which is rich in beneficial trace elements and has excellent water quality. Studying here for four years is the best choice for young students who are at a critical stage of physical development and use their brains extremely because of their study.
