Zhejiang University is an institution of higher learning with a long history and outstanding reputation. It is located in Hangzhou, a famous historical and cultural city and a tourist attraction. Qiushi academy, the predecessor of Zhejiang University, was founded in 1897. It is one of the first new institutions of higher learning founded by the Chinese themselves. In 1928, it was named national Zhejiang University. During the Anti Japanese War, Zhejiang University moved to the west, ran schools in Zunyi, Meitan and other places in Guizhou for seven years, and moved back to Hangzhou in the autumn of 1946. In 1952, when the colleges and departments of national higher education were adjusted, some departments of Zhejiang University were transferred to brother universities and Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the main part left in Hangzhou was divided into several single subject universities, and then developed into the original Zhejiang University, Hangzhou University, Zhejiang Agricultural University and Zhejiang Medical University. In 1998, the four universities of the same origin merged and established new Zhejiang University, embarking on a new journey to create a world-class university. General secretary Xi Jinping, who was in charge of Zhejiang, personally contacted Zhejiang University for the 18 time. He made a series of important instructions on the reform and development of the school and described the grand blueprint for building a world-class university with China's characteristics.
