Guangxi's most embarrassing university to change its name was originally to change to Nanjing University, but the name was robbed by private colleges and universities, and it had no choice but to become Nanjing Normal University!
When talking about higher education in Guangxi, we can't miss Western University, which refers to Guangxi University, the only 211 university in Guangxi, which is also the pillar of higher education in Guangxi. Although Guangxi University was once split in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was later restored and gradually developed, which can be said to be a rebirth of Nirvana.
For example, Guangxi Normal University is a comprehensive university second only to Guangxi University, but many candidates from other places are easy to make mistakes, because this normal university with the name of Guangxi is located in Guilin and not in the capital Nanning. In Nanning, the capital of Guangxi, a Nanning Normal University was set up, which has a feeling of needle-to-wheat mang.
The renaming of Nanning Normal University is actually quite embarrassing, and after the name change, it was once referred to as "Nanjing Normal University", which made many people mistakenly think that it was Nanjing Normal University. After all, the words Jing and Ning are relatively similar in pronunciation and font, and it is even more difficult for outsiders to distinguish them if they are written with a brush. Later, Nanning Normal University had no choice but to change the abbreviation to Nanning Normal University, which was considered to be a turning page, but in fact, Nanning Normal University's alternative answer was Nanning University, but unfortunately it was robbed of the name by a private university
The predecessor of Nanning Normal University was established in 1953, and the Guangxi Secondary School Teachers' Training College was established at Jiangjunqiao, Guilin City. In December, the school was renamed Guangxi Teacher Training College. In the process of development, the name of the school has been changed frequently, and the names of Nanning Normal University and Guangxi Institute of Education have been used several times.
It was not until 1985 that Nanning Normal University was renamed Guangxi Normal University, and the name finally became atmospheric. But at the time, many people felt that the name change was still controversial, because the name "Guangxi Normal University" was used by the current Guangxi Normal University for 30 years until it was renamed Guangxi Normal University in 1983. In other words, two years after the name Guangxi Normal University was suspended, Nanning Normal University picked up the name again, many people think that it is a pick-up of people's teeth, and the names of Guangxi Normal University and Guangxi Normal University are similar, and there is also a feeling that Li Ghost met Li Kui.
After 1985, Guangxi Normal University used this name for 33 years, which is more than the length of time that Guangxi Normal University has used this name, so it is not embarrassing to get used to this name. But in 2018, there was a problem, because at this time, Guangxi Normal University was also going to be upgraded to a university.
According to the general idea, the upgrading of Guangxi Normal University to a university is naturally directly renamed Guangxi Normal University, but there is a Guangxi Normal University in Guilin, so it can't be renamed Guangxi Second Normal University, right?So at that time, Guangxi Normal University moved the idea of changing its name to Nanning University, and the university named after the capital is also a superb IP, simple and generous, and no school has used it.
However, Guangxi Normal University did not succeed in changing its name to Nanning University, but became Nanning Normal University.
There should be two reasons for the abandonment of the name of Nanning University. The first point is that Guangxi Normal University belongs to the normal colleges, and there were relevant policies and regulations at that time, during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, all 181 normal colleges in China will not change their names and take off their hats, blocking the way for Guangxi Normal University to remove the "normal" hat. The second point is that although the name of Nanning University has not been used by the school, there is a private Nanning College, which was renamed from Yongjiang University in 2012. If Guangxi Normal University chose to change its name to Nanning University, it would be easy to mix with Nanning University, so it finally gave up the effort to name "Nanning University".
Of course, due to the extraordinary difficulty of upgrading private colleges and universities to universities, the upgrading of Nanning University to a university is actually far away, which also leads to the delay in the use of the excellent IP of "Nanning University", which actually causes a waste of resources, which is still very regrettable. Nanjing University is also relieved, at least one less ...... to compete for the title of "Nanjing University".
