Datong City in Shanxi was called Yunzhong County in ancient times. During the Northern Wei period, Pingcheng was the capital of Northern Wei Dynasty. It was also the companion capital during the Liao and Jin dynasties. It was the ancient capital of three dynasties. For this reason, Datong has become the ninth largest ancient capital in China. This is the correct way to open Datong!

During the years of the Tang Dynasty, the Datong Army Festival was set up here. The name Datong began to enter people's horizons for more than 1,000 years, and the history of Datong is also long enough.

In the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shanxi was famous for its coal resources, and Datong was even called the coal capital, surpassing Taiyuan in the limelight. Jin B's license plate number was a recognition of Datong's status.

However, in the development of higher education, Datong's development has not been smooth sailing. The reason is very strange. The only university in Datong is " Shanxi Datong University ", and there is actually the province name prefix in front of it? This situation is very rare in China, but it is not impossible. For example, on February 2, 2021, when the independent college was transferred to another institution, Henan University Minsheng College was renamed Henan Kaifeng College of Science and Technology and Media . But this way of naming feels weird and is not conducive to publicity.

Shanxi Datong University is referred to as Tongda or Datong University, which is different from the naming method of ordinary universities. Why does Shanxi Datong University have the name of the province in front of it? In fact, it’s because the name is confusing, and it’s not a big deal with .

Let’s look at foreign countries first. Japan and South Korea both have Tatong University. This is actually not a big problem. For example, my country's and Northeastern University's are also available in the United States and Japan. There is no need to discuss who will name this university first. Anyway, they are not in the same country, so everyone can live in peace!

Looking at China, there was a Datong University in Shanghai from March 1912 to October 1952. This university is the first private university in China after the Revolution of 1911. Its name comes from the "Book of Rites": The world is for the common good, and it is for Datong. In 1952, departments were adjusted and was merged into Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Fudan University, East China Normal University, Tongji University, East China Institute of Chemical Technology and .

However, there is a private Datong University in Taiwan, our treasure island. This Datong University has nothing to do with Datong University in Shanghai. It was renamed Datong University in 1999. Shanxi Datong University was only officially established in 2006. Because the name was registered, Datong University in Datong had to add the province name prefix to distinguish it!

Tatung University in Taiwan.

In 2006, Yanbei Normal College, Datong Medical College, Datong Vocational and Technical College, Shanxi Industrial Vocational and Technical College merged to form Shanxi Datong University. It became a master's degree-granting unit in 2018. Two first-level disciplines, Chinese Language, Literature and Chemistry, have obtained master's degree authorization points. In addition, there is also a professional master's degree in engineering! As the only university in the second city of Shanxi Province, its development process cannot be said to be successful. Of course, there is still a lot of controversy as to whether it has anything to do with the name of the school! Some people also suggest that Shanxi Datong University change its name to Yunzhong University. After all, Yunzhong University is the name of the school at the junior college level. What do you think?
