The predecessor of CCNU is the combination of Huachung University (华中大学), Chunghua University (私立武昌中华大学) and the Pedagogical College of Zhongyuan University, with Huachung University as the main part. Huachung University was the largest and most influential mission university in south central China and it developed from Boone College which was founded in 1903. In 1951 Huazhong University was created after the Pedagogical College of Zhongyuan University merged with Huachung University. Then it was reorganized into Huazhong Higher Normal College in 1952 and later renamed Central China Normal College in 1953. At this time a new campus was established east of Wuchang at Mount Zhutou ( 豬頭 山 ), a location of over 700 graves and therefore a place thought to have a lot of Yin qi. The mountain was partially leveled off and renamed Mount Guizi ( 桂子山 ) after a plant that was widely planted on the mountain and is known for its Yang qi. In 1985 the university was formally named Central China Normal University. Deng Xiaoping, one of the founders of Zhongyuan University, inscribed the name of the university. In 1993 the President and General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, Jiang Zemin, wrote an inscription for the university "Developing normal education, improving the nation’s quality".
