History

Jinggangshan University was established in 1958 in Ji'an. Chinese Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong and his colleagues established the first rural base of the revolution in the Jinggangshan Mountains in 1927.[3] In 1963, JGSU was closed for five years due to poor economic conditions in China.

In 1978, to reinstate JGSU, the Branch of Jiangxi Normal University and the Jiangxi Medical University in Jinggangshan were joined together. In April 1982 and March 1993, they were renamed as 'Jinggangshan Teacher's College' and 'Jinggangshan Medical School", respectively. In March 2000, after approval by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China (MOE), Jinggangshan Teacher's College was renamed to Jinggangshan University after merging with Ji'an Educational Institute. In July 2003, approved once again by the MOE, Jinggangshan Normal University was renamed to Jinggangshan University by joining Jinggangshan Medicine College and Jinggangshan Vocational Technical College.
