Nanjing Normal University(NNU) is an old university with a history of over one hundred years. Quite old thougt it is, NNU is still advacing. It is a key university of Jiangsu Province, and is even among those universities of “211 Project” which is fully backed up by the government. 

To investigate into its origin, you may go back to the Sanjiang Teachers College in the late Qing Dynasty, which was promoted in 1902 by Zhang Zhidong, governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. Later, it turned to be Lianjiang Teachers College and finally became the ‘South Normal School ’ of China, which gestated the mature school-running system of China’s higher education for teachers. In 1952, there was an amendment of all departments and schools of Chinese universities and colleges. Therefore, Nanjing Normal School was founded on the foundation of some schools and departments of former Nanjing University and Ginlin University. A little later, it renamed Nanjing Normal University in January, 1984. And in March, 2000, Nanjing Advanced College of Dynamics was merged into. At present, the whole NNU compromises of three campuses: ‘Suiyuan Campus’, ‘Xianlin Campus’ and ‘Zijin Campus’, covering a total area of 200001000m2 (i.e. over 3100 mu) and a tectonic coverage of 840000m2. On campus, flowers are fragrant, grass green, ancient trees towering and surroundings charming. That is why it is named by people both home and abroad as ‘the most beautiful campus in the east’. Xianlin Campus locates the scenic area in east suburbs of Nanjing. Occupying around 1.02 km2, it is environed with the Bell Mountain scenic area, the Xixian scenic area and the Tangshan Mountain area, with enchanting natural beauty and international standard entiroment. 

Nanjing Normal University is one of the cradles of China’s higher education for teachers. During the development more than one century, many famous educationists of modern China have taught here in succession, such as Tao Xingzhi, Chen Heqin, Wu Yifang and so on. With the hardy efforts of several generations, NNU has formed a style of study, focusing on educational practice, and a school spirit of ‘preciseness, plain, push and dedication’. Now, it has turned to be a comprehensive normal university with rounded system as well as complete subjects covering social science, history, philosophy, science, engineering, pedagogy, economics, law, art and physical education.
