Tsinghua University's predecessor, Tsinghua School, was founded in 1911 and renamed Tsinghua School in 1912. In 1928, it was renamed National Tsinghua University. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, it moved south to Changsha and established the National Changsha Temporary University with Peking University and Nankai University. In 1938, it moved to Kunming and was renamed the National Southwest Associated University. In 1946, it moved back to Tsinghua Park and had five colleges and 26 departments, including liberal arts, law, science, engineering, and agriculture. After the adjustment of colleges and departments of colleges and universities across the country in 1952, Tsinghua University became a multidisciplinary industrial university, focusing on training engineering and technical talents for the country, and was hailed as the "cradle of red engineers." Since the reform and opening up, Tsinghua University has gradually established the long-term goal of building a world-class university and entered a new period of vigorous development. The school has successively restored or newly established science, liberal arts, medical and economic management disciplines, and established a graduate school and a school of continuing education. In 1999, the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts was incorporated to form the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University. In 2012, the Graduate School of the People's Bank of China was merged into Tsinghua University PBC School of Finance. With the strong support of the country and society, through the implementation of the "211 Project" and the "985 Project" and the "Double First-Class" construction, Tsinghua University has made great progress in talent training, scientific research, social services, cultural inheritance and innovation, and international cooperation and exchanges. At present, Tsinghua University has a total of 22 colleges and 59 departments. It has become a comprehensive, research-oriented, open university with 12 disciplines including science, engineering, literature, art, history, philosophy, economics, management, law, education, medicine and interdisciplinary disciplines. Looking to the future, Tsinghua University will uphold the school motto of “Self-improvement and Virtue” and the school spirit of “Actions speak louder than words”, adhere to the school-running style of “combining Chinese and Western cultures, integrating the past and the present, and integrating the arts and sciences” and the training characteristics of “being both red and expert, and developing in an all-round way”, carry forward the tradition of “patriotism, dedication, and pursuit of excellence” and the spirit of “constant humanities”, and guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, persist in taking moral education as the fundamental task, serving the country as the highest pursuit, discipline construction as the foundation of development, deepening reform as a powerful driving force, and strengthening party building as a strong guarantee, open up a new situation of high-quality development of world-class universities with Chinese characteristics, strive to move to the forefront of world-class universities, and strive to make new and greater contributions to national development, people’s happiness, and the progress of human civilization.
