Henan University is a national Double First-Class construction university with a long history of schooling, a complete range of disciplines, distinct professional characteristics and profound cultural heritage.
Founded in 1912, the university was initially named Henan Preparatory School for Overseas Study in Europe and America. Its first president was Mr. Lin Boxiang, and the campus was built on the former site of the Henan Imperial Examination Academy. It later evolved through several stages as Zhongzhou University, National Kaifeng Sun Yat-sen University (also known as the Fifth National Sun Yat-sen University), and Provincial Henan University. In 1942, it was elevated to the status of National Henan University.
During the national faculty and department adjustment in 1952, some departments were spun off to form independent institutions or merged into other universities, while the main campus was renamed Henan Normal College. It subsequently went through the phases of Kaifeng Normal College and Henan Normal University before restoring its original name Henan University in 1984.
In October 2008, the university became one of the universities jointly built by the provincial government and the central ministry. In September 2017, it was selected into the first batch of national Double First-Class construction universities, and was again included in the list in February 2022.
Over the past 113 years, adhering to the university motto Illustrate Virtue, Renew the People, and Perpetuate Perfection, Henan University has fostered a campus ethos of Unity, Diligence, Rigor and Simplicity, and shaped its university spirit centered on Perseverance and Self-improvement. It has cultivated more than 700,000 talents of all kinds, making outstanding contributions to educational revitalization, scientific and technological innovation, cultural inheritance, social progress and human civilization.
