This school has a long history. Founded in 1895, it was named "Dongshan Jingshe" at that time. It took "honesty and diligence" as its motto, abolished the imperial examination, advocated new learning, and created a precedent for new education in Hunan. 1900 was renamed "Dongshan Academy", 1905 was renamed "Xiangxiang Public Dongshan Higher Primary School Hall" and 1940 was renamed "Hunan Private Dongshan Junior High School". On September 1958 and 10, President Mao Zedong wrote the name of Dongshan School for his alma mater, and he had high hopes. Since then, the history of the school has turned a new page. Now it has developed into an influential full-time senior high school in China. On February 25, 2003, the Provincial Department of Education officially issued a document to award the license and became a key middle school in Hunan Province. At present, all teachers and students are marching towards the goal of "Top National 1000" with full enthusiasm and high fighting spirit.
1 10 years of hardships, 1 10 years of Tao Zhu heroes. "Zhong Ling, the ancient stone bridge in Lianshui, Dongshan, is full of talents, leaders and generals, poets and scholars, and it is choppy and crystal clear." In this magical land, a large number of academicians, scientists and tens of thousands of outstanding talents have been born, including the founding leaders and generals of the Republic of China, Chen Geng and Tan Zheng, the internationally famous poet Xiao San, the famous social activist Yi, the revolutionary martyrs Mao Zetan and Yang, and the outstanding scholar Xiao Zisheng. At the centennial celebration of 1995, Comrade Li Lanqing, then member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau and Vice Premier of the State Council, gladly wrote an inscription of encouragement. The State Education Commission also sent a congratulatory message, praising "Dongshan School has made a special contribution to the China Revolution". All walks of life received rave reviews. The achievement of these honors and praises all embodies the hard work and sweat of Dongshan people, and also benefits from the rapid improvement of school software and hardware.
