How to treat the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts merging into Tsinghua University?

At that time, I was admitted to Gongmei, and my diploma was Tsinghua. Later, I met some people, and I always thought we earned it. Most students in Gongmei scoffed at this. Now I think it is more meaningful to be an independent design school than to be in a comprehensive university. Maybe schools can get more financial allocations, but a country doesn't even have a central design school. Central America is dominated by plastic arts, and the design department (especially entity) began with educational experiments. In the second central era, the two Beijing factions did not cooperate and did not like each other very much. At that time, our student exchange exceeded the college. I feel in my bones that Gongmei is more fashionable than Yangmei. In our yard, Wu Guanzhong, Zhang Ding, Pang Xunqin, Chang Shana and Yuan Yunfu, the older generation are all people who have crossed the East and the West, and the new generation are also popular figures.

Being merged is a system problem. 1998, the state adjusted and merged the departments. In my impression, the Academy of Arts and Crafts belongs to the Ministry of Light Industry or the Ministry of Textile (the memory is not accurate, and the information shows that it belongs to the Ministry of Culture). If the affiliated department is revoked or downgraded, Gongmei will be temporarily under the control of Beijing to catch up with the merger of universities across the country, and Peking University will merge with Beijing Medical University. Tsinghua also wants to expand his comprehensive strength and has a crush on us. At that time, he said that he would change his name to China Design University (an ugly name). There is a joke that people from Tsinghua come to visit and ask us about the financial allocation of 20 million yuan, which is called zero less. There is also a joke that Tsinghua is interested in beautiful land (that is, the land next to Guanghua Road of CCTV, which is now in Gaiwanda or a commercial center, and the original site of CCTV is BAIC).

But now people who want to come to Tsinghua (or the leading department ~) don't have the courage to rebuild the best design school in Beijing CBD, so that Gongmei moved to Wudaokou, Tsinghua. Guanghua Road is no longer history, but will always be a design branch of a comprehensive university, no longer a center. Some feelings.

At present, Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts (not used to it at first) maintains an elite style. In 2000, the number of undergraduate students decreased by about 230. After returning to Tsinghua, I should earn a lot of money. The leadership of the college in the past 20 years is mainly from industrial design, which is different from the arts and crafts in the past. It is still the best design school in China and the most difficult school to enter. You can go to official website to see the specific results (official website is ugly and embarrassing). Students are still proud and can still make achievements in the industry, but quite a few people feel that the school has not played its due role in the design industry. Our education system, our university atmosphere and our design association are all too emotional. ....

China news agency, Beijing, November 20th: (Reporter Su) The Central Academy of Arts and Crafts officially "joined" Tsinghua University today, and the celebration of the merger of the two schools was held in Tsinghua Campus today.

At the press conference before the celebration, He Jiankun, executive vice president of Tsinghua University, said that on September 22nd this year, the Ministry of Education officially approved the merger of the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts into Tsinghua University and named it Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts. Wang, the former president of the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, was appointed by the Ministry of Education as the vice president of Tsinghua University and the president of Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts. After the merger, the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts will be incorporated into the unified management system of Tsinghua University, and unified planning and arrangement will be made in discipline construction, specialty setting and enrollment scale. In order to speed up the integration of the two universities, the freshmen of Grade 99 of the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts have transferred to Tsinghua University to study and live.

At the ceremony, Vice Minister of Education Zhou read out the relevant decisions of the Ministry of Education. Xu Rongkai, Deputy Secretary-General of the State Council, conveyed congratulations from Li Lanqing, Deputy Prime Minister of the State Council, and Li Lanqing expressed support for the merger of the two universities, because the merger is beneficial to both universities. When Wu Guanzhong, Chang Shana, Li Yan and Zhang Ding, former masters of the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, greeted everyone on the rostrum, the audience burst into thunderous applause and expressed their heartfelt respect to the masters.

Academician Wang Dazhong, President of Tsinghua University, said in his speech that the merger of the two universities is another achievement of the reform of the management system of colleges and universities, which conforms to the trend of the development of human ideology and culture in the 2/kloc-0 century, and is also the need to comprehensively promote quality education and cultivate good humanistic spirit and innovative ability.

In recent years, Tsinghua University has been constantly adjusting its discipline layout, and has gradually become a comprehensive university combining science and engineering, with disciplines such as economic management, humanities and social sciences. Therefore, strengthening the construction of art disciplines has become an important link for Tsinghua University to become a comprehensive world-class university.

The former Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, founded in 1956, is the largest and richest art and design institute in China. He has participated in the design of the National Emblem of China, the top ten buildings in 1950s, and the regional emblem of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, regional flag of the macao special administrative region and other major designs.

After many contacts with Tsinghua University, I think the two universities are very complementary in disciplines. The complete art design education system of the former Central Academy of Arts and Crafts can play an important role in strengthening the construction of art disciplines and cultivating talents combining arts and sciences in Tsinghua University. Its industrial design, urban decoration, environmental art, painting and other disciplines can also be closely combined with Tsinghua University's civil construction, engineering manufacturing, automobile design and other majors. At the same time, Tsinghua University's advanced information science can play a powerful supporting role in the modernization of arts and crafts. The two universities have been preparing for this merger for more than a year.
