Founded in December 1922, Yunnan University started to enroll in April 1923. It began as a privately run institution called the “University of the Eastern Land” and its name has changed six times since then.

Yunnan University has also been included on the list of the key national universities for the “China Western Development” program.

The University began to enroll students on April 20, 1923. It started as the privately run “Dong Lu University” (Dong Lu means “Eastern Road” or “Eastern Land”). The name has changed six times in the past 80 years, but the present name dates from 1934. It is known locally as “Yunda”. Following typical abbreviations for Chinese universities, “Yun” is an abbreviation of “Yunnan” and “da” is an abbreviation of daxue, the Chinese word for “university”.
During the early 1950s, the government began reforming the Chinese education system which had affected every university. Most departments were weeded out, and by 1958, there were only two faculties and six academic departments left in Yunnan University. Again like all other Chinese universities, Yunnan experienced a difficult period from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s due to events such as the Cultural Revolution. However, the situation improved remarkably thereafter when the reform era began in the late 1970s.
