Tsinghua University is one of the famous comprehensive universities in China, and its history can be traced back to the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty (19 1 1). Here is a brief introduction to the origin and history of Tsinghua University.

The predecessor of Tsinghua University can be traced back to 1909. At that time, the Qing government established an educational institution called "Tsinghua School" to train engineers and agricultural experts. This school was originally located on the Longtan Lake in Xishan, Beijing. The school building is designed and built by Americans, and the teachers are mainly from the United States.

19 1 1 After the Revolution of 1911, Tsinghua School faced a crisis of closure due to political changes. However, Yan Fu, president of Tsinghua University, Liang Qichao, vice president, and some faculty members actively fought for it, and finally Tsinghua University was preserved. 19 12 changed its name to "Tsinghua School" and officially enrolled students.

19 17, Tsinghua University began to implement university reform, becoming the first school named after "University" in China, and officially changed its name to "Tsinghua University". During this period, disciplines in Tsinghua University gradually expanded, including engineering, agronomy, literature, law, science and other fields.

From 65438 to 0949, after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Tsinghua University became an important institution of higher learning of the new regime in China. In the early days of the People's Republic of China, Tsinghua University actively participated in the country's industrialization and modernization, and trained a large number of scientists, engineers and technicians for the country.

After the reform and opening up, Tsinghua University has made great progress in education and scientific research. The school has gradually restored and developed more disciplines, established a number of research institutions and laboratories, and attracted outstanding scholars and researchers at home and abroad to join the Tsinghua family.

Today, Tsinghua University is one of the prestigious institutions of higher learning in China and even in the world. With its excellent teaching quality and scientific research achievements, it has trained a large number of outstanding talents and made important contributions to national development and social progress. Tsinghua University's motto "Strive for Self-improvement, Respect Morality and Carry Things" has also become one of the symbols of China's educational circles.
