History

• The university was founded in 1896 by Sheng Xuanhuai, a Qing official and industrialist, as the Nanyang Public School, with a curriculum combining Chinese classics and Western science. It celebrates its anniversary on 8 April.学校由清末官员兼实业家盛宣怀于 1896 年创办，初名南洋公学，课程兼容中学经典与西学；校庆日为 4 月 8 日。

• It was created as part of the late Qing movement to introduce Western-style technical and administrative education, and it began by teaching foreign languages, mathematics, science and administration.学校是晚清引进西式技术与行政教育运动的一部分，最初教授外语、数学、科学与行政学科。

• The school passed through a sequence of names: the Shanghai Higher Industrial School under the Ministry of Commerce and later the Ministry of Posts and Communications, and the Nanyang College.学校先后更名，曾称商部上海高等实业学堂、邮传部上海高等实业学堂与南洋大学堂。

• After the 1911 revolution it became the Shanghai Institute of Technology under the Ministry of Communications, and in 1921 the ministry merged its Shanghai, Beijing and Tangshan schools into a single Jiao Tong University.辛亥革命后，学校成为交通部上海工业专门学校；1921 年交通部把上海、北京、唐山三校合并为一所交通大学。

• That merger broke up in 1922 and was restored in 1928, when the Shanghai campus became the main campus of National Jiao Tong University.这次合并于 1922 年解体，1928 年再度合并，上海校园成为国立交通大学本部。

• With the outbreak of the war with Japan the university moved part of its teaching into the French concession, and in 1941 it was renamed the private Nanyang University before being taken over by the Japanese and the Nanjing government in 1942.抗日战争爆发后，学校把部分教学迁入法租界，1941 年改名私立南洋大学，1942 年被日军与南京政府接收。

• A branch campus was established in Chongqing in 1940 which became the main campus of National Jiao Tong University between 1942 and 1946.1940 年在重庆设立分校，该分校于 1942 至 1946 年间成为国立交通大学的总校。

• In 1956 the state decided to move most of the university westward to Xi'an, and the Shanghai section, which remained, was named Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1959.1956 年国家决定把学校主体西迁西安；留在上海的部分于 1959 年定名为上海交通大学。
