Northwest University is located in the ancient city of Xi 'an. Its predecessor, Shaanxi University Hall, was one of the earliest modern universities in China approved by Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty in 1902. On this basis, after many vicissitudes, it developed into an early Northwest University. During the Anti-Japanese War, Northwest University merged the former Peiping University and Northeastern University, which moved westward from Beijing, to form Northwest United University. At that time, it was as famous as The National SouthWest Associated University composed of Tsinghua, Peking University and Nankai University. Since then, many universities specializing in agriculture, forestry, politics, law, medicine, normal university, nationality, engineering, finance and economics have been separated from Northwest University, and Northwest University itself has continued to develop and become a "2 165438" with complete disciplines such as literature, history, philosophy, economy, management, science, engineering and art, and equal emphasis on teaching and scientific research. Since its founding a hundred years ago, Northwest University has been handed down from generation to generation, bringing up a large number of outstanding talents for the society, including academicians of the Academy of Sciences, writers, poets, critics, economists, technical experts, entrepreneurs, heroes and model figures, government officials and so on. Northwest University has become one of the most influential and prestigious universities in northern China.
Second, the concept introduction of our school
Modern College of Northwest University is an independent college sponsored by Northwest University and approved by the Ministry of Education. Modern college has inherited the glorious tradition of a century-old prestigious school, and started its school with an innovative model, which has adapted to the development direction of higher education in China. She is not only the crystallization of history, but also the pride of the times. She is a melting pot and training ground for the new generation to adapt to the new society.
Third, the external environment of our school
Our school is located in the southern suburb of Xi, a famous ancient city in China. The total campus area is 1000 mu. Overlooking the south (Qinling Mountains) and close to Feng Shui, it has always been a treasure trove of Feng Shui in history. "Caotang Smoke", one of the famous eight scenic spots in Guanzhong, is close at hand, and the prototype of the idiom "South Shortcut" happened here. According to the research of experts in China's cultural history, the mainstream of China culture originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the origin of the Western Zhou culture came from geomantic omen, which is the famous "abundant culture". Li Shimin, a great king in the history of our country, worked here in the summer after taking office and finally died here.
The ancient city Xi 'an was once the capital of thirteen dynasties, and each dynasty listed it as the royal inner court. There is another place near our school called Neiyuan Village. Since the reform and opening up, people have praised it as the "back garden" of the ancient city and the "green lung" of Xi. Now it has been planned as Xi 'an humanistic tourism science and education zone, and it is forbidden to set up factories here, only to develop scientific research and education. In recent years, the University of Electronic Science and Technology, Xigong University, Petroleum University, University of Architecture and Technology, and Youth Vocational College have successively established schools here. According to the monitoring of environmental experts, the air cleanliness and oxygen content here belong to the most suitable living range, and the groundwater here comes from Qinling Mountain, which is rich in beneficial trace elements and has excellent water quality. Studying here for four years is the best choice for young students who are at the critical stage of physical development and use their brains extremely because of their study.

The campus of our school is divided into north and south areas, and the south area is the teaching area, which consists of Shaoguangmen, a large teaching building (grammar, economy, art and media) and a large library. Its architecture is European classical style.

After entering the door, there is an east-west main road named East Avenue and West Avenue, and there is an outward secondary road named Southeast Avenue and Southwest Avenue. These four teaching buildings are located in the east and west wing parks formed at the southern end of these four main roads. Each teaching building consists of a five-story main building and two-story podium buildings connected to it. The teaching building is spacious and bright, with sufficient seats. The average number of multimedia seats in teaching facilities far exceeds the national standard.
The library is located between the southern end of East-West Avenue, which is a super-large building. The main entrance of the library faces south, the broad steps are upward, and six huge Roman columns stand on the gallery. There is a big yard in the center of the building, and the sun shines into the hall through the glass curtain wall. There are stacks on both sides, including natural science, social science, finance, literature and art, newspapers and magazines. In addition, there is a rare characteristic library in colleges and universities-Sinology Library, which contains a wealth of books on Sinology, Confucianism and related research for graduate students and related scholars to read.
