As we all know, China's 39 985 engineering universities basically represent the highest level of education in China. There is no doubt that these universities are quite excellent. They account for only 1% of the country's nearly 4,000 universities, and their distribution is uneven, such as Beijing and Shanghai, which have a very large number, and some areas do not even have a single university.
Today, I will take stock of these 985 University nicknames one by one, unveil their mysteries, and see the interesting and down-to-earth side behind them.
First, let's take a look at Tsinghua University, which is ranked number one in the country. Founded in 1911, this university in Beijing is the most comprehensive university in China.
However, even in the top position, it has a very funny nickname - "Wudaokou Men's Vocational and Technical College". The nickname not only highlights Tsinghua University's strengths in the field of engineering, but also reflects the fact that there are many male students on campus, and the addition of a vocational and technical college is undoubtedly self-deprecating for the students.
It is followed by Peking University, a university in Beijing that was founded in 1898 and has a long history. It is far ahead of the country in the field of liberal arts, and is known as the "dream school" of the majority of liberal arts tyrants.
Interestingly, the nickname of Peking University is "Zhongguancun Women's College of Humanities", this is because Peking University and Tsinghua University are different, they belong to the two-way development of arts and sciences, and the strength of liberal arts is also very strong, attracting a large number of female students, and it is located near Zhongguancun, so it has this nickname.
Next, we came to Changsha City, Hunan Province, to see the National University of Defense Technology there. This only 985 military school is known as the "Sifangping Vocational and Technical School", and although it is the best military school in the country, this nickname still makes people laugh.
The reason is because the National University of Defense Technology is located in Kaifu District, Changsha City, and the more famous next to the school is the Sifangping Commercial Center.
Fudan University, located in Shanghai, is one of the first nine universities in China to be selected for the 985 Project. Its comprehensive strength is very good, the geographical location is superior, Fudan University coordinates Wujiaochang, and many students go to work as part-time tutors, Yangpu District Tutoring Center has a tradition of non-Fudan students not recruiting, and many parents also directly name Fudan students to be tutors.
Next up is Xiamen University, which is located in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, and is one of the most beautiful universities in China. Therefore, Xiamen University is known as "a must-visit tourist attraction in Xiamen". This nickname is really perfect, because the scenery at the gate of Xiamen is very good, and basically you must go to the check-in point when you go to Xiamen.
China Agricultural University, located in Beijing, is the best agricultural and forestry university in China. Despite its many halos, its nickname is "Haidian Pig Breeding Farm", which is really ironic.
Huazhong University of Science and Technology, located in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, this university with strong engineering strength, has developed rapidly in recent years, but nicknames have also followed, such as "Guanshankou Men's Vocational and Technical College", but its more popular nickname is "Huazhong Monastery".
Tongji University, located in Shanghai, is a long-established university with a long history. Because it is good at engineering, Tongji University is nicknamed "Shanghai's No. 1 Construction Machinery Construction Team". Civil engineering is the trump card major of Tongji University, so this nickname not only combines the geographical location, but also fits well with his major.
Sun Yat-sen University, located in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, is among the top 10 in the country in terms of comprehensive strength, and is nicknamed "Guangdong College of Applied Arts and Sciences". This is because Sun Yat-sen University is a 985 university in Guangdong Province that integrates arts and sciences, and the college is the self-deprecation of students about Shuangyashan University.
Finally, Zhejiang University, located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, ranks among the top 5 in the country in terms of comprehensive strength, and is known as the "People's Park and Canteen of Sandun Town". This is because the Zijingang Campus of Zhejiang University not only allows citizens to enter and exit freely, but even taxis can enter the campus unimpeded.
Therefore, every spring, when the spring flowers are blooming and the sun is shining, many citizens will help the old and the young to come to the beautiful Zijingang campus, turning this university campus into a "park".
These nicknames of 985 universities show both their humor and their down-to-earth spirit. Despite their high prominence in the academic world, these monikers give a glimpse of their cute and playful side. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
