School History
Central South University of Technology
The main disciplines of Central South University of Technology can be traced back to the Hunan Higher Industrial School founded in 1903. Mining Section.
In 1952, during the nationwide adjustment of colleges and universities, Zhongnan Mining University was formed from the mining and metallurgical disciplines of six universities, including Wuhan University, Sun Yat-sen University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Guangxi University, Hunan University, and Nanchang University. The School of Metallurgy has four departments: geology, mining, mineral processing, and non-ferrous metal metallurgy.
In 1959, in the context of developing nuclear weapons and the nuclear industry, the country moved the Mining and Metallurgical Engineering Department of the former Central South College of Mining and Metallurgy and other professional departments to Hengyang to establish Hengyang Mining and Metallurgical Engineering College (South China University), which is affiliated to In the Second Machinery Department.
In October 1960, it entered the ranks of national key universities and was the only national key university in Hunan Province at that time. The junior college class of the Department of Geology of Central South University of Mining and Metallurgy participated in the merger to form Hunan University of Geology.
In 1985, it was renamed Central South University of Technology, marking the transformation from a single-disciplinary engineering college to a comprehensive industrial university.
In 1998, Changsha Industrial College merged into Central South University of Technology.
In 1999, Central South University of Technology Yueyang Branch was merged into Yueyang Health School.
Changsha Railway University
The main disciplines of Changsha Railway University can be traced back to the road science of Hunan Higher Industrial School founded in 1903.
In 1953, the civil engineering majors of the original Wuhan University, Hunan University, Nanchang University, and Guangxi University were merged with the civil engineering, construction, and railway majors of the original Sichuan University, Yunnan University, and South China Institute of Technology, and Hunan University was abolished and established. Central South College of Civil Engineering (the direct predecessor of today’s Hunan University).
In 1959, the name of Hunan University was restored. The three departments of Railway Architecture, Bridges and Tunnels, and Railway Transportation of Hunan University and some public teaching and research offices were separated, and a new campus was established as Changsha Railway Institute. .
In 1960, Changsha Railway University was officially established and is affiliated to the Ministry of Railways. It is a university with industry characteristics focusing on engineering and covering multiple disciplines such as engineering, science, liberal arts, economics, management, and law.
In 1962, the former Guangzhou Railway Institute of Guangdong Jiaotong University was partially merged into Changsha Railway Institute.
In 1970, Changsha Railway College was placed under the leadership of Hunan Province by the Ministry of Railways.
In 1975, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Railways decided to change Changsha Railway College to a management system under the dual leadership of the Ministry of Railways and Hunan Province, with the Ministry of Railways as the main body.
Hunan Medical University
In 1906, the Yale-China Association of Yale University founded the only Western-style hospital in China, originally named Yale-China Hospital.
In 1914, the Hunan Yuqun Society, on behalf of the Hunan Provincial Government, cooperated with the Yale-China Association to establish the Xiangya Medical College (now Xiangya Medical College). Yale-China Hospital subsequently changed its name to Xiangya Hospital. "Xiang" stands for Hunan, and "Ya" stands for Yali; it is one of the earliest Western medicine colleges in China.
In 1921, the American Educational Investigation Team confirmed that Xiangya Medical College and Peking Union Medical College, founded in 1906, were the best schools in the country.
In February 1924, the "Ten-Year Agreement" between Hunan Yuqun Society and Yali Society, which was jointly founded by Hunan Yuqun Society and Yali Society, expired. After repeated negotiations between the two parties, Xiangya Medical College was renamed Xiangya Medical University.
In April 1931, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China approved the establishment of the Xiangya Medical University School Board of Directors; in December of the same year, the school was renamed the private Xiangya Medical College.
In early August 1938, the relocation committee decided to move the school to Guiyang, but all fifth- and sixth-level students, the nursing school, and the hospital stayed in Hunan. In this month, various instruments, specimens, books and office essentials were gradually moved to Guiyang. In September, faculty, staff and first, second, third and fourth grade students went to Guiyang one after another. In December, the Yuanling Branch of Xiangya Medical College was established in Yuanling, and the Xiangya Nursing School moved here to continue its operations.
In April 1939, Xiangya built a temporary school building at Shidongpo outside the Cinan Gate of Guiyang City. After the construction was completed, it was moved in for teaching. The place was called Xiangya Village from then on. In July, the Leiyang branch of Xiangya Medical College was established in Hunan.
On August 13, 1940, the private Xiangya Medical College was renamed the National Xiangya Medical College. After Xiangya Medical College was established as a national institution, Xiangya Hospital and Xiangya Nursing School remained private.
In the winter of 1944, the Japanese invaded Guizhou, occupied Dushan, and threatened Guiyang. Xiangya Medical College was moved to Yanggongqiao, Chongqing, Sichuan.
In early March 1945, Xiangya Medical College borrowed three large warehouses in Yanggongqiao, Chongqing from the Ordnance Industry Administration free of charge to serve as a temporary school site to allow the school to continue its operations. Clinical teaching for senior students can continue as usual at Chongqing Central Hospital in Gaotanyan. In early October, the medical staff, family members and intern doctors of Xiangya Hospital who had taken refuge in Dongping, Anhua returned to Changsha.
In September 1949, the Cultural Takeover Department of the Changsha Military Control Commission of the Chinese People's Liberation Army took over the National Xiangya Medical College.
On June 11, 1953, the Ministry of Health of the Central People's Government approved that Xiangya Medical College would be officially renamed Hunan Medical College on October 1 of that year. Accordingly, the Affiliated Hospital and the Affiliated Nursing School were successively renamed as the Affiliated Hospital of Hunan Medical College and the Affiliated Nursing School of Hunan Medical College.
From 1949 to 1957, the affiliation of Xiangya Medical College changed several times. First, it was managed by the Hunan Provincial Department of Education, and then it was placed in charge of the National Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Health of the Central and South Military and Political Commission. In October 1954, the Ministry of Health was once again placed under the leadership of the Ministry of Health, and from January 1958, it was again put in charge of Hunan Province.
In December 1987, with the approval of the State Education Commission, the college was renamed Hunan Medical University.
On April 29, 2000, Central South University was formed by the merger of Central South University of Technology, Hunan Medical University and Changsha Railway Institute during the reorganization and restructuring of national higher education institutions. In June, the Graduate School of Central South University was approved by the Ministry of Education to be launched on a trial basis.
In February 2001, the school entered the ranks of the national “985 Project” as a key, provincial and high-level university.
