This is a very interesting question, in China's administrative division, in the past, it was divided into Northeast China, North China, East China, South China, Central China, Northwest China, Southwest China, etc., and the division of these regions accurately reflects China's geographical orientation and geographical characteristics, and is a collection of east, west, north, south, and middle. In the naming of universities in China, they are mainly named according to the geographical location, the scope of the administrative jurisdiction, and the attributes of the university, especially the comprehensive universities, which are basically named according to the location or location and geographical name, and the professional universities are named according to the geographical name of the region and the professional attributes of the university.
Among the universities named according to the location of the region in China, the more famous ones are Northeastern University, Northwest University, Southwest University, etc., but there is no North China University. There is no North China University, East China University, South China University, or Huazhong University, but there are many professional universities named after South China, Central China, East China, and North China.
Let's briefly introduce the situation of Northeastern University, Northwest University, and Southwest University.
Northeastern University, an institution full of glorious traditions of patriotism, finally restored the name of Northeastern University in 1993 after the vicissitudes of life, and once again stood tall in the academic forest. In 1997, the former Shenyang ** University was merged, injecting new vitality into Northeastern University. In 1998, it became a university directly under the Ministry of Education, shouldering a higher educational mission.
As one of the first batch of universities under the "211 Project" and the "985 Project", Northeastern University successfully ranked among the first-class universities in 2017. Northeastern University has a faculty of 4,512 people, including 2,938 full-time teachers, 5 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and 6 overseas academicians. There are more than 50,000 undergraduates, master's students and doctoral students.
Northwest University, located in Xi'an, an important city in northwest China, carries a century of history and academic glory. In the long history, Northwest University has changed its name several times, renamed Northwest University in 1950, and in 1978, Northwest University was identified as a national key university.
Today, Northwestern University has developed into a high-level research university with international influence. As a national "double first-class" construction university, a national "211 Project" construction university, and a university jointly established by the Ministry of Education and Shaanxi Province, Northwest University has made remarkable achievements in discipline construction, faculty and scientific research strength.
The university has 24 colleges (departments) and graduate schools, and the school also has 37 national first-class undergraduate major construction sites, providing students with high-quality educational resources and a broad development platform.

There are more than 58,000 students, including nearly 40,000 undergraduates, more than 16,000 full-time master's and doctoral students, and nearly 2,000 international students.
In addition to Northeastern University, Northwest University, and Southwest University, in the history of our country, there is actually North China University. North China University, like a bright pearl, is embedded in the picture scroll of China's education history.
It is not only the cradle of today's Chinese University and Beijing Institute of Technology, but also an institution of higher learning carefully crafted by the CPC in order to welcome the liberation of the whole country and train a large number of construction cadres. In the spring of 1948, Mr. Fan Wenlan served as the first president, and together with a group of educators, he opened a new chapter in North China University.
The university is divided into a number of faculties, like a leafy tree, each branch representing a different academic field. The School of Administration, the School of Finance and Economics, the School of Education, the School of Engineering, the School of Medicine, the College of Agriculture and the School of Arts together build a rich and comprehensive academic ecology of North China University.
From August 1948 to the end of 1949, North China University was located in Zhengding County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. At that time, the independent power of the future was conceived in her bosom. The School of Engineering gradually grew, and eventually transformed into the Beijing Institute of Technology, which is now the Beijing Institute of Technology.
The College of Agriculture, the College of Agriculture of Peking University and the College of Agriculture of Tsinghua University joined hands to jointly give birth to Beijing Agricultural University. The Second Department of Foreign Languages joined hands with the Beiping Foreign Affairs School and became the Beiping Foreign Chinese School, which is now Beijing Foreign Chinese University.
The three are like Phoenix Nirvana, which respectively prepared and founded the ** Drama Academy, ** Academy of Fine Arts, ** East China Branch of the ** Academy of Fine Arts, ** College, as well as cultural treasures such as the Beijing People's Art Theater, the Youth Art Theater, the ** Opera House, and the China Peking Opera Research Institute.
North China University, with its broad mind, has nurtured countless academic elites and cultural treasures, and has written a rich chapter in the development of China's cultural and educational undertakings. She is a monument that will forever stand in the long river of Chinese education history, shining with eternal light.
To sum up, there are Northeastern University, Northwest University, and Southwest University among the universities in China, all of which are double first-class universities in China and one of the more well-known universities in China. Although there is no North China University now, Renmin University of Chinese, China Agricultural University, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Beijing University of Foreign Chinese are all famous institutions of higher learning. These universities continue the purpose of North China University and have made important contributions to the development of China's culture and education.
