Sichuan Agricultural University is a provincial public agricultural university in Sichuan Province, China, with three campuses in Chengdu Municipality and Ya'an. Emphasizing on agricultural and forestry studies, the university is sponsored by the Ministry of Education and the Sichuan Provincial Government. The university is part of former Project 211 and the Double First Class University Plan. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, under the national trend of promoting education and strengthening the country, Xu Handu, the governor of Sichuan, petitioned the Qing court to establish a secondary agricultural school in Sichuan. In 1906 (the 32nd year of Guangxu reign), Sichuan Provincial Agricultural School (四川通省农业学堂） was established in an old warehouse on the right side of Baochuan Bureau inside Houzaimen in Chengdu. This was the first agricultural school established in Sichuan and the historical origin of Sichuan Agricultural University. The school started classes on June 1, 1906 and held an official opening ceremony on September 12. Sichuan Governor Xiliang gave a speech at the ceremony: “Sichuan has thousands of miles of fertile land, and was known as the land of abundance in ancient times. It used to compete with the world with its silk profits, but only stuck to its old methods, and its profits gradually flowed out. Therefore, it is necessary to promote agricultural education as a preparation for revitalizing agriculture.” Sichuan Provincial Agricultural School initially set up preparatory and undergraduate courses in agriculture, sericulture and forestry. In April 1910, the school moved to a new campus built at the agricultural experimental field near Wangjianglou outside the east gate of Chengdu. More information...
