Wuhan University (WHU; {{Lang-zh|s=武汉大学|t=武漢大學|p=Wǔhàn Dàxué}}; colloquially {{zh|labels=no |c=武大 |p=Wǔdà}}) is in Wuhan, Hubei.[3] It is one of the most prestigious and selective universities in China, which has been selected as a Chinese Ministry of Education Class A Double First Class University.[4] It was one of the four elite universities in the republican period[5]{{Better source|reason=per WP:CIRCULAR|date=March 2019}} and also one of the oldest universities in China. In 1948, University of Oxford in the United Kingdom wrote to the Ministry of Education in China, confirming that undergraduate students at Wuhan University with degrees in liberal art and science, who had an average grade above 80 would be awarded "the senior status of Oxford". Wuhan university is located at Luojia Hill, with palatial buildings blending Chinese and Western styles. It is regarded by many as one of the most beautiful campuses[6] in China.

Wuhan University has been perennially ranked among the top-tier universities in China. Nationally, it was ranked fourth[7] in 2016 and third[8] in 2017 due to its academic excellence. The university has many well-known research fields such as social and human science, remote sensing, surveying engineering, and hydraulic engineering which have been in the leading positions for decades. It is administered by the Ministry of Education of China and was selected by both Project 985 and Project 211 as a major receiver of state funding. So far, it is the only university in China to have been reported by the journal SCIENCE[9] due to its 125 years of academic excellence (1893–2018).

History

The university dates back to the Ziqiang Institute ({{zh|first=t |t=自強學堂 |s=自强学堂 |p=Zìqiáng Xuétáng}}), which was founded in 1893 by Zhang Zhidong, governor of Hubei and Hunan provinces in the late Qing Dynasty.[10]

It changed its name several times before it was named National Wuhan University in July 1928 and was among the first group of national universities in modern China. (There is a dispute on the establishment of Wuhan University: Some believe that its history should date back to 1913, when the National Wuchang Higher Normal College was founded.)

In the early time of its establishment, Ziqiang Institute provided four courses: Chinese, Mathematics, Nature, and Business. After combining the Institute of Minerals and the Institute of Chemical, courses provided were enlarged, with Nature Science and Engineering added. Chinese was extended to English, French, German, Russian, and Japanese.

In October 1902, Ziqiang Institute moved to Dongchang kou, Wuchang, and changed its name to Foreign Languages Institute ({{zh|labels=no |t=方言學堂}}), teaching Geography, History, Mathematics, Law, and Communication.

With the approaching Xinhai Revolution of 1911, the Foreign Languages Institute was forced to pause due to lack of funding. In October, the Wuchang Uprising and the end of the Qing dynasty made it impossible for the school to go back to normal. The Foreign Languages Institute stopped running.

In 1913, the Ministry of Education of Beiyang Government decided to found six higher normal colleges in China. Based on the original location, book resource, and faculties of Foreign Language Institute, the Wuchang State Superior Normal Institute ({{lang|zh-hant|國立武昌高等師範學院}}) was founded.

In 1922, faculties were extended to Education Philosophy, Chinese, English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemical, History and Sociology, Biology, and Geography.

In August 1923, the school changed its name to the National Wuchang Normal University ({{lang|zh-hant|國立武昌師範大學}}). In 1924, it changed its name to National Wuchang University ({{lang|zh-hant|國立武昌大學}}).

In 1926, National Wuchang University merged with the Wuchang State Business University ({{lang|zh-hant|國立武昌商科大學}}), Hubei University of Medicine ({{lang|zh-hant|湖北省立醫科大學}}), Hubei University of Law ({{lang|zh-hant|湖北省立法科大學}}), Hubei Arts and Humanity University ({{lang|zh-hant|湖北省立文科大學}}), Wuchang Private Chinese University ({{lang|zh-hant|私立武昌中華大學}}) to form Wuchang Sun Yat-Sen State University ({{lang|zh-hant|國立武昌中山大學}}), alias No. 2 Sun Yat-Sen State University ({{lang|zh-hant|國立第二中山大學}}), with Department of University, and subjects of Arts, Science, Law, Business, Medicine and Yu ({{lang|zh-hant|文、理、法、經、醫、預}}), 17 faculties, 2 departments.

In 1928, the National Government in Nanjing formed National Wuhan University ({{lang|zh-hant|國立武漢大學}}) on the basis of the original National Wuchang Sun Yat-Sen University, consisting of four colleges: Arts, Law, Science, and Engineering ({{lang|zh|文、法、理、工}}).

In February 1929, the jurist Wang Shijie became the first president of Wuhan University. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Wuhan University moved to Leshan, Sichuan Province and returned to Luojia Hill after the war.[11][12]

By the end of 1946, the university had six faculties: liberal arts, law, sciences, engineering, agriculture and medicine. Wuhan University enjoyed a very high academic status, with Wang Shijie, Wang Xinggong, and Zhou Gengsheng as its successive presidents.[12]

Scholars such as Gu Hongming, Zhu Kezhen, Wu Baoliang, Zha Qian, Gui Zhiting, Ye Yage, Li Siguang, Wen Yiduo, Huang Kan, Yu Dafu, Shen Congwen, Zhu Guangqian, Liu Ze, Liu Yongji, Ye Shengtao, Yang Duanliu, and Li Jiannong taught here successively. According to the university, in 1948, the University of Oxford wrote an official letter to the Ministry of Education of the Chinese National Government, stating that Bachelors of liberal arts and sciences that graduated from Wuhan University with average grades above 80 could enjoy "the senior status of Oxford".[12][13]

In 1952, after a general reshuffle of the colleges and departments of the higher education institutions throughout the country, Wuhan University became a university of liberal arts and sciences directly under the administration of the Ministry of Higher Education.[14] Professor Li Da, delegate to the First Congress of the Chinese Communist Party and a celebrated philosopher, economist and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, held the post of president of the university for 14 years. The Wuhan University School of Medicine and Tongji University Medical School jointly formed Central-south Tongji Medical College (later Wuhan Medical College), then Tongji Medical University.[12]

Merger

On August 2, 2000, with the approval of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, the new Wuhan University was established as a combination of four major universities close together: the former Wuhan University, the former Wuhan University of Hydraulic and Electrical Engineering (WUHEE), the former Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping (WTUSM), and the former Hubei Medical University (HBMU).[15]

Note:

  • Wuhan University of Hydraulic and Electrical Engineering (WUHEE) ({{zh|s=武汉水利电力大学 |t=武漢水利電力大學 |p=Wǔhàn Shuǐlì Diànlì Dàxué}}; colloquially {{zh|labels=no|c=武水 |p=Wǔshuǐ}}).
