Zhongshan University[1] is a major comprehensive university founded by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, with a tradition of more than 100 years of schooling. Sun Yat-sen University

Today's Sun Yat-sen University was formed by the merger of Sun Yat-sen University and Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences, which were separated after the faculty restructuring in 1952.

In 1835, Dr. Burdock of the United States established a medical bureau in Guangzhou, training China's earliest Western medical doctors. On this basis, the Boji Hospital was established, and in 1866, the Medical Hall was set up, which was the earliest specialized medical education institution in China. 1888, the Gezhi College opened in Guangzhou, which was opened by an American

In 1924, Dr. Sun Yat-sen personally integrated the schools that had been established in Guangzhou since the end of the Qing Dynasty and had practiced the modern mode of education, including the National Higher Teachers' Training School in Guangdong, the Guangdong Public Law School, and the Guangdong Public Agricultural Specialized School. In 1924, Mr. Sun Yat-sen integrated the National Guangdong Higher Normal School, the Guangdong Public Law School, and the Guangdong Public Agricultural Specialized School into a single institution, and established the National Guangdong University, with the motto "Learning, Questioning, Deliberative Thinking, Discerning, Dedicated to Conduct" written in his own handwriting. After the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the university was named National Sun Yat-sen University in 1926. In the 1930s, National Sun Yat-sen University had seven faculties: arts, science, law, engineering, agriculture, medicine, and teacher training, etc. In 1935, it set up a graduate school and began to recruit graduate students.

After the national faculty reorganization in 1952, many faculties and specialties of the former Sun Yat-sen University were separated, in which the faculties of arts and sciences were merged with the relevant faculties of Lingnan University to form the new Sun Yat-sen University; at the same time, the medical schools of the two schools were separated and merged to form a specialized medical school, and then Guanghua Medical College of Guangzhou was merged into it, and it changed its name for a few years, and finally named as Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences. These two universities with the same root and origin, respectively, are key universities directly under the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, **** with the inheritance of the tradition of running Sun Yat-sen University, which was founded by Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of the revolution, and Lingnan University, which pioneered the modern education system of China, forming a unique schooling characteristics and university style, and making important contributions to the development of higher education in contemporary China.

In October 2001, the former Sun Yat-sen University and Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences merged to form the new Sun Yat-sen University, which has further broadened its academic structure and become a comprehensive university including humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, technical sciences, engineering, medicine, pharmacy, economics and management.

Sun Yat-sen University[1] and Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences have deep historical roots and academic traditions. Famous medical experts such as Ke Lin, Liang Boqiang, Xie Zhiguang, Chen Xintao, Chen Yaozhen, Qin Guangyu, Lin Shumo, Zhou Shoukai, Zhong Shifan, Mao Wenwen, Chen Guozhen, and Li Shaozhen taught at Sun Yat-sen University of Medicine. In the 1950s, there were 56 first-class professors in the country***, 12 of whom taught in the former Sun Yat-sen University and Sun Yat-sen Medical University. The school is full of famous masters, their excellent character and superb academic attainments inculcated generations of students, forming a good academic atmosphere, many talented graduates have become outstanding talents in all walks of life.

The university now has four campuses, covering a total area of 6.17 square kilometers, located on the banks of the Pearl River and the South China Sea. Guangzhou South Campus covers 1.17 square kilometers, North Campus covers 0.39 square kilometers, Guangzhou East Campus covers 1.13 square kilometers and Zhuhai Campus covers 3.48 square kilometers.

Ranked 171st in the 2010 Times World University Rankings, the university has significantly expanded its international reputation and influence. A number of disciplines of the university have greater influence in the national and international academic fields. From January 2001 to December 2011, the number of subject areas of the university that entered the global top 1% of the ESI (Essential Science Indicators) database has reached 14, which is ranked 5th in the country, and the total impact of the papers (the total number of citations) has reached 126276 The total impact of papers (total citations) reached 126,276, and the world ranking was 399th, in the top 0.08%; the average number of citations of ESI papers in our university during the ten years was 7.65, which ranked the 4th in the domestic colleges and universities.

A batch of disciplines, such as History, Philosophy, Public **** Management, Business Administration, Mathematics, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Basic Medical Sciences, Clinical Medical Sciences, and Public **** Hygiene and Preventive Medical Sciences have been Consolidation, more distinctive features, some research directions have reached the international level, the discourse and influence in the international academic community is increasing. According to the statistics of the U.S. ESI database, our university*** has 14 subject areas in the top 1% of the ESI global subject areas, including Chemistry, Clinical Medicine, Physics, Biology and Biochemistry, Materials Science, Molecular Biology and Genetics, Engineering, Botany and Zoology, Mathematics, Environmental Science and Ecology, Pharmacology and Toxicology, Agricultural Science and other subject areas.

SUNY also utilizes the three phases of the "211 Project" key disciplines construction project to promote the cross-fertilization of disciplines. For example, through the early warning and early diagnosis of common clinical diseases research project to promote the intersection of clinical and basic medicine, through the administrative reform and government governance research project to promote the intersection of public **** management and political science, through the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau regional cooperation project to promote the intersection of economics, business administration, law, geography and so on. The construction of these projects has explored the mechanism of interdisciplinary cross-fertilization and made useful attempts in organizing interdisciplinary forces to carry out research on ****same scientific problems. At the same time, our university utilizes the relevant key disciplines construction projects to strengthen the construction of emerging disciplines according to the needs of national and local economic construction and social development as well as the planning of pillar industries and emerging industries. For example, through the South China aquaculture animal quality and safety and disease control biotechnology project to develop marine science and other disciplines, the use of natural products based on the structure of South China's active ingredients alteration, screening and new drug R & D project to develop new drugs and other emerging disciplines, to further integrate the disciplinary forces to realize the resources **** enjoy the layout and the development of a number of applied disciplines for the country and the strategic emerging industries in Guangdong and engineering disciplines

The university's academic structure has been optimized and the layout of disciplines has become more reasonable.

Currently, Sun Yat-sen University is standing on a new historical starting point. In the next five years and beyond, the university's strategic goal is to build Sun Yat-sen University into a world-class university with a wide range of international influence and a unique blend of arts, sciences, medicine and engineering.

Prof. Chen Guoda, head of the Geology Department of the Faculty of Science of Sun Yat-sen University, led 49 students and faculty members of the department to transfer to the Zhongnan Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in Hunan Province. The Department of Philosophy of Sun Yat-sen University led by Prof. Zhu Qianzhi, Dean of the Department of Philosophy, went to Peking University.
