Daotian Middle School (), also known as Daotian (稻田), is public secondary school located in Changsha, Hunan Province, People's Republic of China.[1] It has both junior (7-9th grade) and senior (10-12th grade) divisions, and the junior division is a branch of Yali High School.[2][3]
The school was founded in 1912 by educator Zhu Jianfan as Hunan First Women's Normal School. It was destroyed by the Wenxi Fire in 1938 and reopened as a co-educational institution in 1995.[2][4][5]
Name
The school was established in the Ancient Rice Fields (古稻田) near Tianxin Pavilion, Changsha.[4] As the school changed its name several times, moved, and merged frequently, the name of "Daotian" is often mentioned in order to distinguish it from other schools.[2] In 1992, the reestablished school was named as Daotian Middle School.[2]
History
In 1909, Wu Qingdi, the Hunan Provincial Education Commissioner, petitioned to establish the Hunan Women's Normal School, which was approved by the Governor's Office. More than 200 acres of official land was allocated to build the school, which was completed in the autumn of 1911.[4]
The school opened on May 12, 1912, and was named the Hunan First Women's Normal School () by the Hunan provincial government of the Republic of China. The first principal was Zhu Jianfan. In 1915, due to the reduction of education funds, the second and third women's normal schools in Xiangxi and Hunan were merged and renamed Hunan Women's Normal School (). In August 1916, the three schools were reopened.[2]
In 1925, Xu Teli served as the principal and Chinese teacher. In May 1927, after the Changsha coup, the school was closed for half a year. In the winter of 1927, the provincial government merged the senior divisions of various middle schools, including Hunan First Women's Normal School, to form Hunan Senior High School (), and Hunan First Women's Normal School was turned into Hunan Junior High School (). Wang Jifan was appointed as the principal. In February 1928, Hunan Junior High School was turned into Hunan Second Middle School ().[4]
In 1934, Hunan Second Middle School was renamed Hunan Changsha Women's Middle School (). In November 1938, Changsha Wenxi Fire broke out, and the school moved to Xiangtan.[2]
On December 14, 1992, it was approved to rebuild the middle school, named Daotian Middle School.[2] On September 1, 1995, the school opened as planned.[5]
