The Eight Major Textile Universities In The Past Have Been Separated For A Long Time, And The Gap Between Them Has Widened.

With the wide liberalization of employment channels, more and more college entrance examinees have chosen special students, such as sports, art, fine arts, etc. many art majors have heard of the "nine Academy of fine arts", and even take the "nine Academy of fine arts" as their goal of the college entrance examination, but the "eight big Textile Academy", which is also a special art student, has few people to understand.

In 80s and 90s, the domestic light industry was not yet developed, and the textile industry related to the livelihood of the people was mostly done by manpower, so that many textile oriented colleges and universities were born. At that time, 8 Textile Universities Affiliated to the former Ministry of textile industry (now known as China Textile Federation) were collectively referred to as the "eight great textile institutes". At that time textile specialty was as popular as electronics, petroleum and other professions, and basically entered the same employment. However, with the acceleration of the industrialization process, machinery gradually replaced labor, so the textile specialty was gradually losing its popularity, and the "eight big Textile Academy" has also been transformed into a comprehensive university or a design oriented university.

The first one: Donghua University (East China Institute of textile technology), the 211 university. In 1985, it changed its name to "China Textile University". The name of the university is now the existence of overbearing leaks. After all, the University of national name has become a "national treasure". Every country name big school represents the top existence in related fields. The school is also often referred to by netizens as "one of the four private 211", but its design specialty is very strong, especially clothing and apparel design, is absolutely the leading presence in China.

Second: Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology (Beijing Textile Institute of Technology), which is the only university in the country so named for "clothing", has only 9 colleges, all teaching around the textile design and clothing, and the main clothing and costumes. So its clothing and clothing design specialty is closely related to Donghua University. Almost every fashion week can see the works of its alumni.

The third one: Tianjin University of Technology (Tianjin Textile Institute of Technology), the main body of which was founded by the textile department of Tianjin University, is a world-class Discipline Construction University (Modern Textile discipline group). Although the dominant specialty of the university is still a design class, after all, it is named after "industry", so its advantages in the fields of mechanical engineering, computer and communication are quite obvious.

The fourth one is the -211 University of Soochow University (Suzhou silk Polytechnic), which is relatively special. At that time, "Suzhou Silk Institute of technology" merged with several other schools to Soochow University, so it can not become a school running body. It has become a college of Soochow University, but in the course of evaluation, Soochow University has 2 A- disciplines, one of which is design, 12 B+ disciplines, 2 of textile industry, and its contribution is quite large.

Fifth: Zhejiang Sci-Tech University (Zhejiang Institute of Silk and Textiles), Zhejiang Institute of science and technology also set up textile college, silk college, clothing Institute, art and Design Institute; although the school develops toward engineering, textile specialty is still the dominant discipline of the school, and established a fashion design and research center with many famous schools abroad.

Sixth: the Wuhan Textile University (Wuhan Textile Institute of Technology), the University named "textile" is also the only one, unlike other 7 spinning houses, retaining the "textile" characteristics, we can see that the dominant disciplines of the university are mainly textile design. But it is worth noting that these advantages can be entered into by all kinds of professional skills, and other majors are not strong, but accounting is worth a try. After all, it has merged with Hubei Financial College.

Seventh: Xi'an Polytechnic University (northwest Textile Institute of Technology), only to see the name of the school, do not see what is related to textile, but the 4 national characteristics of the school are from textiles, the national key disciplines are also textile materials and design; multidisciplinary development road has been dropped by several other brothers colleges and universities, so if you want to increase the name of the school, Xi'an Polytechnic University has a long way to go.

Eighth: Zhongyuan University of Technology (Zhengzhou Textile Institute of Technology), the eight largest textile institute, only Zhongyuan University of Technology left behind, textile design professional advantage is not outstanding, many ordinary universities are stronger than it, and the geographical position is relatively the worst, but with the opportunity of Zhengzhou's rise, strive hard. But in the two area, the design profession of the school is still worth the candidates to apply for.

On the whole, the transformation of the "eight textile institutes" is still relatively successful. The whole situation is still dominated by science and engineering, and the characteristics of textile industry are still the same.
