Southwest University

Southwest University, known by the abbreviation SWU and in Chinese as Xida, is a comprehensive university at the foot of Jinyun Mountain in Beibei District, Chongqing, created in July 2005 when the Ministry of Education approved the merger of Southwest Normal University and Southwest Agricultural University.西南大学简称「西大」，英文缩写 SWU，是位于重庆市北碚区缙云山山麓的一所综合性大学，2005 年 7 月经中国教育部批准，由原西南师范大学与原西南农业大学合并组建。

Both source schools trace their roots to the Chuandong Normal School founded in 1906, and the university is directly administered by the Ministry of Education, co-funded with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Chongqing municipal government, and belongs to Project 211 and the first cohort of Double First-Class construction universities.两所源流学校均可上溯至 1906 年创办的川东师范学堂，学校现为教育部直属高校，由教育部、农业农村部与重庆市人民政府共建，属 211 工程与世界一流学科建设首批高校。

It runs 31 colleges across 55 first-level disciplines in twelve disciplinary categories, enrols more than 61,000 students on the Chinese tally, and is nationally known for teacher education, sericulture and psychology.学校设 31 个学院，覆盖 12 个学科门类下的 55 个一级学科，中文口径在校学生逾 6.1 万人，以教师教育、蚕学与心理学为全国知名强项。

History

• On 18 April 1906, the twenty-fifth day of the third month of the thirty-second Guangxu year, the Qing authorities opened the government-run Chuandong Normal School in Chongqing, the first regular normal school in the city, an initiative of Zhang Duo, circuit intendant of Eastern Chongqing, whose courtesy name was Zhenzi, backed by local gentry patron Du Chengzhang and placed under the Eastern Chongqing administration.1906 年 4 月 18 日即光绪三十二年农历三月二十五日，清政府在重庆创办第一所正规师范学堂——官立川东师范学堂，由川东道员张铎（字振兹）倡议、乡绅杜成章资助，并划归川东道署管理。

• Yang Lin, a native of Tongliang, was appointed the school's first supervisor, effectively its principal, and pupils were nominated by the 36 counties under the Eastern Chongqing circuit together with a limited intake of fee-paying students.铜梁人杨霖被任命为首任学堂监督即校长，生源由川东道所辖 36 县选送，同时招收一定数量的自费生。

• In 1928 Gan Jiyong, then principal of the Chuandong United Counties Normal School whose own roots lay in the 1906 Chuandong Normal School, inscribed the motto interpreted as embracing the great and carrying the past forward to open the future, phrases drawn from the Kun hexagram of the Book of Changes and from Zhu Xi.1928 年时任川东联合县立师范学校校长的甘绩镛题写校训含弘光大、继往开来，语出《周易·坤》与朱熹文集，该师范学堂即该校最早的办学渊源川东师范学堂。

• With support from the 21st Army under its commander Liu Xiang and from public figures, the school board opened a rural normal special course and a central agricultural experiment field inside the Chuandong Joint Normal School in the autumn of 1932, taking 29 students in the first intake on 1 September 1932 for one class of about 40 a year, restricted to trainees aged 19 to 30 and with self-funded places capped at two-tenths of the total.在刘湘任军长的第 21 军及社会知名人士支持下，校董会于 1932 年秋在川东共立师范学校内开办乡村师范专修科与中心农事实验场，当年 9 月 1 日开学，首届招收 29 人，每年一班约 40 名，入学年龄限 19 至 30 岁，自费生名额不得超过总数十分之二。

• In February 1933 the rural normal course moved to Ciqikou, where it added classes and enlarged its scale while teachers were still sent to it by the parent normal school.1933 年 2 月乡村师范专修科迁至磁器口，班次增加、规模扩大，仍由川东共立师范学校派教师前往授课。

• In July 1933 the Sichuan provincial government issued an outline of regulations for a Rural Construction College and granted 40,000 yuan, converting the course into Sichuan Rural Construction College as an independent institution with only a rural sociology department and an agriculture department and just over 100 students when it opened that August, again with Gan Jiyong as dean.1933 年 7 月四川省政府颁布《四川乡村建设学院办法及组织大纲》并拨款 4 万元，将乡村师范专修科改为四川乡村建设学院，自此与川东共立师范学校分立为独立高校，初设乡村社会系与农业系，连同专修科学生共 100 余人，甘绩镛仍任院长并于同年 8 月开学行课。

• By early 1935 the college had 23 teachers, of whom 11 were professors and 10 lecturers, and after Gan Jiyong left to become provincial director of civil affairs Gao Xianjian, deputy head of the 21st Army's administrative office, succeeded him as dean.1935 年初乡建院有教师 23 人，其中教授 11 人、讲师 10 人，甘绩镛转任四川省民政厅厅长后，由第 21 军政务处副处长高显鉴接任院长。

• Because the name Rural Construction College no longer fitted the national academic system, the provincial education department ordered it renamed Sichuan Provincial College of Education in August 1936, and the Ministry of Education sanctioned the change in February 1937, after which departments were steadily adjusted and added.因乡建院之名与当时学制不合，四川省教育厅于 1936 年 8 月训令改为四川省立教育学院，教育部次年 2 月批准，此后系科逐步调整或增设。

• By 1946 the college had seven departments, 446 students and 133 staff including its affiliated farm, middle school and primary school, and by the time Chongqing was taken in November 1949 it ran nine departments from education, Chinese, mathematics, English and history-geography to botany, agronomy, farm machinery and horticulture, already at university scale.至 1946 年全院有 7 个系、学生 446 名、教职员工 133 人，含附属农场与附中小教职员，到 1949 年 11 月重庆解放时已有教育、国文、数学、英文、史地、博物、农艺、农制、园艺 9 个系，具备大学规模。

• The parallel ancestor, the National Women's Teachers College, was founded in September 1940 at Xinqiao in Baisha town, Jiangjin, with Xie Xunchu as dean, moved after victory in 1945 to Huangjueping in Chongqing where it began recruiting in September 1946, and kept eight departments in education, Chinese, English, history-geography, mathematics, physics and chemistry, music and home economics plus a physical education course.另一源流国立女子师范学院创办于 1940 年 9 月，院址在江津白沙镇新桥，谢循初任院长，抗战胜利后迁至重庆黄桷坪并于 1946 年 9 月招生，设教育、国文、英文、史地、数学、理化、音乐、家政 8 系及体育专修科。

• On 12 October 1950 the Ministry of Education of the Central People's Government approved merging the National Women's Teachers College with the Sichuan Provincial College of Education under the name Southwest Teachers College, and the women's college staff moved from Huangjueping onto the old provincial college site at Ciqikou.1950 年 10 月 12 日中央人民政府教育部批准将国立女子师范学院与四川省立教育学院合并更名为西南师范学院，女师院教职工随即从黄桷坪迁入磁器口原川教院校址。

• In the 1952 nationwide reorganisation of academic units Southwest Teachers College left Ciqikou and Shapingba for Beibei, taking over grounds that had housed the early-1950s Chuandong people's administrative office and the Communist Party regional committee.1952 年院系调整中，西南师范学院自磁器口与沙坪坝迁至北碚现址，接手 20 世纪 50 年代初川东人民行政公署与中共川东区党委驻地。

• In August 1985 the State Education Commission approved renaming Southwest Teachers College as Southwest Normal University.1985 年 8 月经国家教育委员会批准，西南师范学院改名为西南师范大学。

• On 27 November 1950 the agronomy, farm machinery and horticulture departments left over from the Sichuan Provincial College of Education were merged with the private Xianghui College of Arts and Law and relevant departments of West China Union University to create Southwest Agricultural College.1950 年 11 月 27 日以川教院农艺、农制、园艺三系为主干，与私立相辉文法学院及华西协合大学相关系科合并成立西南农学院。

• In October 1985 Southwest Agricultural College was renamed Southwest Agricultural University with the approval of the State Education Commission.1985 年 10 月经国家教委批准，西南农学院改名为西南农业大学。

• The Rongchang line began in 1938 with the Jianhua Advanced Agricultural Vocational School, and during the war the site hosted the National government's Central Animal Husbandry Experimental Institute, an agricultural experimental institute and a serum institute.荣昌校区一系始于 1938 年创建的建华高级农业职业学校，抗战时期为国民政府中央畜牧实验所、农业实验所与血清研究所所在地。

• After 1949 it became the well-known Sichuan Rongchang Animal Husbandry and Veterinary School, and in 1978 the State Council approved its upgrade into Sichuan Animal Husbandry and Veterinary College.新中国成立后为国内著名的四川省荣昌畜牧兽医学校，1978 年经国务院批准升建为四川畜牧兽医学院。

• In 2001 Sichuan Animal Husbandry and Veterinary College and the Citrus Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences were absorbed into Southwest Agricultural University, which thereby established its Rongchang campus.2001 年四川畜牧兽医学院与中国农业科学院柑橘研究所并入西南农业大学，组建新的西南农业大学并设立荣昌校区。

• Chongqing Vocational University of Light Industry was absorbed into Southwest Normal University in 2000, became a higher vocational college after the 2005 merger and took its present name, College of Applied Technology, in 2009.原重庆轻工业职业大学于 2000 年并入西南师范大学，2005 年随西南师范大学组建西南大学，合校后为西南大学高等职业技术学院，2009 年改为现名应用技术学院。

• Before the merger the two universities were neighbours separated by no more than a wall, and in July 2005 they united as Southwest University with 9,629 mu of land, 1.58 million square metres of floor space and more than 50,000 full-time undergraduates and graduate students.合并前两校仅一墙之隔，2005 年 7 月两校合并为占地 9,629 亩、校舍面积 158 万平方米、在校全日制本科生与研究生 5 万余人的西南大学。
