On January 16, 2023, China Central Radio and Television held a press conference, at which the host lineup of the "2023 Spring Festival Gala" was officially announced for the first time: Ren Luyu, Long Yang, Sa Bening, Ma Fanshu, Nigmat, Wang Jianing.
Ren Luyu and Long Yang are in the C position: Ren Luyu is the "male number one" and Long Yang is the "female number one".
There are 6 hosts of this Spring Festival Gala, 3 men and 3 women. They graduated from the following schools: Ren Luyu, Henan University; Long Yang, Nanjing University of the Arts; Sabine, Peking University; Ma Fanshu, Communication University of China; Nigmat, Communication University of China; Wang Jianing, Shenyang Normal University.
There is no doubt that the school where Sabine graduated - Peking University - is the most eye-catching.
The second is the school where Ma Fanshu and Nigmati graduated, Communication University of China, which cultivates the leading boss of the "national mouth".
Then there is Henan University, the school where Ren Luyu graduated, a national "double first-class" university with a century-old history.
After that, the school where Wang Jianing graduated, Shenyang Normal University, a little-known local normal college.
Finally, the school where Long Yang graduated - Nanjing Academy of the Arts, an art school that is "not enough for outsiders".
Among them, because Long Yang occupies the special status of "female No. 1", the school she graduated from has also attracted a lot of attention, and some people even bluntly said: Long Yang only graduated from Nanjing Art Institute, and his education is really average.
The implication is that Nanjing Academy of the Arts is not famous enough. After all, before Long Yang, the graduation school where Li Sisi, the "female number one" who hosted the Spring Festival Gala, was the prestigious Peking University.
In the eyes of many people, everything called "university" must be better than "college", otherwise, why are so many colleges desperately trying to change their name to universities?
In fact, in terms of academic level, there is no essential difference between colleges and universities, and they belong to undergraduate colleges (excluding colleges with "occupation" in their names). If there is a difference, the main one is: the scale is not the same!
That is to say, all colleges and universities called "universities", whether it is campus area, number of teachers and students, or subject classification, number of majors, are larger than "colleges".
The independent art colleges, due to the restrictions of disciplines, cannot reach the scale stipulated by the "university", so they can only be called "colleges".
Some people may retort: why can Communication University of China be called "university"?
This is because Communication University of China is not an independent art college, but a "comprehensive college".
Before the implementation of the "Double First-class" construction, there was only one art college in the national list of "211 universities": the Central Conservatory of Music (a university directly under the Ministry of Education).
In 2017, when the state unified "985" and "211" as "double first-class", five more art colleges were added: China Conservatory of Music (a university affiliated to Beijing), Central Academy of Fine Arts (a university directly under the Ministry of Education), Central Academy of Drama (a university directly under the Ministry of Education), Shanghai Conservatory of Music (a university directly under the Ministry of Education), and China Academy of Art (a university affiliated to Zhejiang Province).
According to the words of candidates and parents, Nanjing University of the Arts is neither "211" nor "double first-class", it should belong to ordinary "double non-colleges".
However, if judged by discipline, the host's corresponding major is "broadcasting and hosting art", which is offered in hundreds of undergraduate colleges across the country, and Nanjing University of the Arts ranks in the top 5.
The four universities in front of Nanjing University of the Arts are: Communication University of China, Zhejiang University of Media and Communication, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theater Academy.
Long Yang studied broadcasting and hosting art at Nanjing University of the Arts, and is a veritable "professional background".
Nanjing University of the Arts is a century-old school with a long history, and it is also the earliest higher art institution established by the mainland independent establishment and continues to this day.
Its predecessor was the Shanghai Art Picture Academy founded in 1912 by Mr. Liu Haisu, the founder of Chinese art education. In 1958, the school moved to Nanjing and was renamed Nanjing Art College. In 1959, it was named Nanjing University of the Arts.
After a century of construction and development, today's Nanjing University of the Arts has become one of the provincial key universities, forming a multi-level school-running system of doctors, masters, bachelors, junior colleges and technical secondary schools.
Although the broadcasting and hosting art major of Nanjing University of the Arts is not a traditional characteristic major of the school, it is not easy to cross its threshold.
First of all, it has more stringent requirements for the candidate's physical condition: "clear speech, no substantial lesions in the vocal organs, male height of more than 1.73 meters, female height of more than 1.63 meters".
Secondly, candidates are required to be versatile, not only able to "speak", but also to "sing", and during professional examinations, candidates must both recite and sing, and at the same time show physically.
After experiencing the professional initial examination and re-examination, you must finally take the college entrance examination, and the total cultural score must reach at least 85% of the provincial control line of the corresponding batch of general undergraduate in your province.
How to see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, no one can succeed casually.
