The Development Course of the Institute of History of Huazhong University of Science and Technology

In a university with strong engineering, medicine and science, it is the key to establish the discipline category of humanities and establish a clear and feasible discipline construction direction. Therefore, at the beginning of the undergraduate course, under the leadership of the famous historian Professor Zhang Qizhi, the College of History established the guiding ideology of giving priority to the development of China's cultural history and forming the advantages and characteristics of the school's history discipline. The history discipline revolves around the construction direction of this discipline and strives to establish a high-quality and high-level teacher team in the shortest time. In the past three years, with the enthusiastic care, support and strong support of relevant school leaders and relevant functional departments, the history discipline has actively introduced relevant senior professionals, paid attention to famous students of famous schools, had both ability and political integrity, and paid attention to different academic styles, and achieved remarkable results. In recent years, the imported talents have graduated or worked in Peking University, Beijing Normal University, Wuhan University, East China Normal University, Hubei Academy of Social Sciences and other units. Most of them are in their prime of life, have made remarkable academic achievements and are full of academic innovation spirit, which has brought great potential and vitality to the scientific research work of this discipline. Professor Luo Jiaxiang, Ph.D. in history in Peking University, studied under the late Professor Deng Guangming, a famous historian in Peking University. He has unique research in the political history of the Song Dynasty, academic and cultural history and other academic fields, and has undertaken a number of research projects funded by the National Social Science Fund and the Outstanding Young Scholars Fund of the Ministry of Education. Professor Lei Jiahong, former deputy director of the Institute of History of Hubei Academy of Social Sciences, has made great achievements in the research fields of folk history, local history and family system history. Professor Li Chuanyin, Ph.D. in History at Beijing Normal University, studied under Professor Qu, a famous scholar at home and abroad, and made great achievements in the research field of academic and cultural history in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. They have all become academic leaders in the history of the school. In addition, doctors from Wuhan University, Dr. Jin from East China Normal University, and Li Qiong, who is studying for a doctorate from Wuhan University, all have profound academic background and theoretical accomplishment, and will show their distinctive academic personality and strength in the future development of disciplines. It is estimated that in the next three years, according to the needs of the development of this discipline, the School of History will introduce 3-5 senior professionals who have made great academic achievements, further integrate and optimize the existing resources, and make the school history discipline have a teaching staff with great influence and strong academic strength at home and abroad. At present, the school's history discipline focuses on special history (China cultural history) and has made remarkable achievements.

In the major of professional history, three clear development directions have been formed:

Academic and cultural history of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties

Professor Li Chuanyin, an academic leader. Professor Li Chuanyin undertook or participated in the research of important topics such as China Grand Ceremony, Historical Canon and Historical Canon, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the study of ancient Anhui, the relationship between ancient history and politics in China and its modern enlightenment, the humanities and social sciences research project of the Ministry of Education, and the achievements of Marxist historiography in China. History and Politics of Northern and Southern Dynasties and Genealogy and Politics of Northern Dynasties are his excellent works.

History of China Folk Culture

Professor Lei Jiahong, academic leader. Professor Lei Jiahong has made in-depth research on the academic and cultural history of Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties, the ancient social history of China, the folk cultural history and the local history. As a historian, he also participated in some important regional economic construction activities in Hubei Province and Wuhan City, made suggestions and made positive contributions. The construction of the above three academic development directions has effectively promoted the construction of the school's history discipline and expanded its influence. It is predicted that in the next three years, the history discipline will be strengthened according to the actual situation of the school and the development characteristics of the discipline, and will be greatly improved. Its basic goal is to build two master's degree programs in ancient history of China and modern history of China among the eight two disciplines of history discipline, and strive for the right to grant master's degree in 2005. It is planned to start the application for doctoral degree programs in special history in 2007. After the establishment of the discipline, it attaches great importance to scientific research and regards it as a major event for the future survival and development of the discipline, actively organizes and strongly encourages scientific research, and strongly encourages the declaration of various scientific research topics at all levels.

Achievements achieved.

Up to now, the institute has been awarded the National Social Science Fund 1 item (Professor Luo Jiaxiang, Academic Evolution and Political Change in Song Dynasty); Two people, as members of the research group, participated in the declaration of major tender topics for humanities and social sciences of the Ministry of Education and were approved (Professor Luo Jiaxiang and Professor Lei Jiahong); 1 person-time participation in major research projects in the State Council 1 item (Professor Li Chuanyin's China Grand Ceremony, History, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties); 1 person participated in the research work of major projects of China Academy of Social Sciences (Professor Li Chuanyin's Study on Corruption and Anti-corruption in the History of China), and 1 person participated in the research project of humanities and social sciences of the Ministry of Education (Professor Li Chuanyin's Historical Achievements of Marxism in China); 1 person participated in the compilation of excellent teaching materials organized by the Ministry of Education (Professor Luo Jiaxiang), scientific research projects funded by Wuhan 1, postgraduate research fund of Huazhong University of Science and Technology 1. In scientific research, academic monograph 1 department has been published; Published 23 academic papers. The development and achievements of these scientific research activities show the advantages and characteristics of our own discipline and greatly expand the influence of our history discipline. However, in such an institution of higher learning, which is famous for its science and engineering, we fully realize that it is not enough to obtain high-level scientific research results only in this discipline in order to fully embody the characteristics of the history discipline and highlight its humanistic value. We must devote ourselves to all kinds of teaching activities, promote teaching with scientific research, and realize the creative transformation of humanistic value of history discipline. The teaching of history is now divided into two levels, namely, the master's teaching of history and the undergraduate teaching of various departments in our school.

As far as undergraduate teaching is concerned,

Since its establishment, history has made full use of its own characteristics and advantages, actively devoted itself to undergraduate teaching, and played a positive role in improving students' comprehensive quality. For example, Professor Luo Jiaxiang, while engaged in postgraduate education, offered courses such as "Special Topics on China Traditional Culture", "Selected Introduction to Chinese Masters of Traditional Studies in the 2nd/Kloc-0 Century" and "General History of China". Professor Lei Jiahong has successively offered courses such as "China History and Culture", "Family System and China Culture" and "Special Topics on the History of China Thought". Xia Zengmin, a lecturer, has successively offered courses such as Political History of China, Humanistic Tradition of China and Special Topics of China History. Lecturer Li Qiong has successively offered courses such as History of China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and Comparison of Political Power in China in the 20th century. These courses have historical characteristics and are welcomed by the relevant departments of the school and the teachers and students. Three doctors (including a professor) introduced in 2003 have also devoted themselves to undergraduate teaching in the school. For example, Professor Li Chuanyin not only undertakes the teaching task for graduate students majoring in history, but also offers new courses for undergraduates, such as "China's history and culture" and "China's traditional social ideal and practice", which are well received by students. In addition, Dr. Jin and Dr. Jin also offered public elective courses with historical characteristics. In addition, some other history courses are also being organized and constructed. Up to now, the College of History has offered 16 public elective courses for undergraduates of all departments in the school. It has greatly enriched the teaching content of humanities in this school and played a positive role in comprehensively improving students' cultural quality and perfecting knowledge structure. This subject will constantly adjust, enrich and provide high-quality courses with historical characteristics and adapt to the characteristics of the school according to the professional direction of existing teachers, and make contributions to the humanistic quality education of the school.

In the teaching of graduate students

The history discipline has formed a complete postgraduate education curriculum system and management system, and organized and constructed special topics such as China's ancient thought history, research methods of academic thought history, historical materials of Song Dynasty, political history of Song Dynasty, academic and cultural history of Song Dynasty, historical theories and methods, historical materials of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, academic and cultural history of Wei, Jin and Southern Dynasties, and China folk culture philology. The existing teaching staff can fully meet the learning needs of history graduate students. On the basis of enrolling graduate students as scheduled in 2003, the number of graduate students in this subject will increase greatly in 2004. Some history teachers also actively participated in humanities lectures organized by the cultural quality education base for college students and academic lectures organized by various academic groups in the school. For example, in April 2003, Luo Jiaxiang gave an academic speech on "Hu Shi and China's Modern Humanistic Spirit" at the invitation of the cultural quality education base for college students. From June 5 to February 2003, Professor Luo Jiaxiang gave an academic lecture on "The History, Present Situation and Future of Sino-Japanese Relations" at the invitation of the Young Volunteers Association of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. From June 5438 to 10, 2003, Professor Lei Jiahong gave an academic lecture on "Several Issues of Family System and China Culture" at the invitation of the School History and Culture Society. These activities are welcomed by students. In the past three years, in order to establish the academic status of the school history discipline and expand its influence, the Institute of History has actively organized various forms of academic exchanges, and has also received obvious results. In foreign academic circles, the Institute of History has established close academic ties with foreign academic institutions and experts and scholars engaged in the study of China's history and culture. For example, it has established academic exchange channels with some famous experts and scholars in the Department of East Asian Language Civilization of Harvard University, the Department of History of the University of California, Santa Barbara and the Department of History of Portland State University, laying a certain foundation for the history and history of the school to enter the international academic stage. In March this year, Dr. Liu Jinhua will go to Hong Kong for academic research on behalf of the history discipline of the university. In domestic academic circles, the Institute of History makes full use of every possible opportunity to actively organize and participate in various important academic conferences and activities, and strive to improve the influence of this emerging discipline. Strive for foreign academic exchanges. In the past two years, our college has participated in 5 high-level international academic seminars, invited experts and scholars in history to give academic lectures for the humanistic quality education base for 4 times, and established various academic exchanges and mutual visits with Peking University Ancient History Research Center, Zhejiang University History Department, China Academy of Social Sciences History Institute, Wuhan University History College and Huazhong Normal University History and Culture College.
