Recently, I saw someone ask the question of which school has the longest name, which piqued my curiosity, so I came up with this article.
At present, there are nearly 3,000 full-time colleges and universities in China. After analysis, it can be found that the shortest name of the university is 4 characters, and the longest of the existing colleges and universities is 19 characters. Why should the school name be the longest, and allow me to sell it first?
Specifically, the number of college names is 6 words, 8 words and 10 words, all of which exceed 600, as high as 650, 700 and 750 respectively, and more than 300 colleges and universities with school names exceeding 10 words.
Due to the characteristics of their proper names, there is a very obvious difference in the number of words between undergraduate colleges and junior colleges, and this key number is "8". Specifically, the main ones with less than "8" in the school name are undergraduate colleges, and the main ones with "8" words or more are junior colleges.
There are two main types of colleges and universities with more than 10 words in the name of the school: higher vocational colleges, independent colleges and vocational undergraduates. If the higher vocational college is divided into higher vocational colleges and higher vocational colleges, then the category of higher vocational colleges also has a very significant feature, that is, its main body is the "preschool normal college" that has been upgraded in batches in previous years.
As I mentioned above, the characteristics of the "special name" of this college are the most direct reasons for the above two phenomena, for example, the reason why the name of the higher vocational college is very long is largely because the special name of "vocational and technical college" and "higher college" itself is as long as 6 words, plus the name of the political district in the prefix, at least 8-10 words.
At present, the longest name in the higher vocational college is "Zhejiang Zhoushan Islands New Area Tourism and Health Vocational College", up to 17 words, of which Zhejiang Zhoushan Islands New Area accounts for 8 words, fortunately, this school suffix is not a vocational and technical college, otherwise this school will jump to one of the longest list of school names.
followed by "Ningxia Wine and Desertification Prevention and Control Vocational and Technical College" and "Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Xingxin Vocational and Technical College", both of which reached 16 characters. Ningxia Wine and Desertification Prevention and Control Vocational and Technical College is planning to change its name to Ningxia Wine Engineering Vocational and Technical College, and the number of words will be significantly reduced.
The longest name of the college is "Inner Mongolia National Preschool Normal College", which reaches 15 characters, and this school is also the only junior college level among the five colleges with 15 characters in the school name. So, what kind of universities are the other 4?The answer is independent colleges.
Independent colleges are another type of school name, especially long universities, and the direct reason for this is that the name of the parent school is included in the name of the school. At present, the longest name among independent colleges is "Sino-Swiss Hotel Management College of Beijing Second Foreign Chinese College", with 18 characters, ranking fourth in the country. There is no public news about the transfer of this independent college, which is very interesting.
It is followed by four independent colleges with 15-character names, namely: School of Art and Information Engineering of Dalian Polytechnic University, Sainz New Medical College of Guangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Xianda College of Economics and Humanities of Shanghai Wai Chinese University, and School of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Engineering of Wuhan Institute of Technology.
Although the names of vocational colleges and universities are generally long, the four universities with the longest names are all undergraduate colleges.
At present, the longest school name in the country is 19 characters, a total of 3. They are "Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College" and the "Chinese People's Liberation Army Strategic Support Force Aerospace Engineering University" and "Chinese People's Liberation Army Strategic Support Force Information Engineering University" from the army.
Among the three universities, "Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College" is actually a bit special, and her 19 characters include the horizontal between Beijing Normal University and Hong Kong Baptist University. In comparison, the two military colleges and universities are a real 19 words.
Now, let's fill in the threshold mentioned at the beginning. At the outset, you may have guessed that the university with the longest name is not the "existing" university.
At present, I can find that the university with the longest name is a former name of Heilongjiang Bayi Agricultural Reclamation University - Heilongjiang Production and Construction Corps Agricultural Reclamation University of the Shenyang Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. It is a 24-character name that was used between 1973 and 1976, which is far longer than any existing university.
Of course, the above list does not refer to the phenomenon of campuses, branch campuses, etc.
In addition, if you jump out of the scope of universities, some people say that the school with the longest name is a secondary school called "Tacheng District, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and Bukushkar Boyina Kessel Mongolian Autonomous County Education College", but I don't believe that such a school really exists.
The first is that the school has no public information at all. Secondly, there is no place called "Hebukush Kar Boyi Nakessel Mongolian Autonomous County" in Tacheng area, and the most similar to this name is "Hebuxel Mongolian Autonomous County", which is only half of the former. In addition, the address can indeed be seen in "Maiyidun Kasakneng Kotenai", but this place is located in Shule County, which is more than 1,000 kilometers away from Buxel Mongolian Autonomous County.
So, are there any other colleges and universities with longer names?Everyone is welcome to share.
