The High School Attached to Hunan Normal University(Chinese: 湖南师范大学附属中学; pinyin: Húnán Shīfàn Dàxué Fùshŭ Zhōngxué), colloquially known in Chinese as '湖南师大附中'(Húnán Shīdà Fùzhōng), is a famous public secondary school located in Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan Province, China.
Founded in 1905 by Yu Zhimo, a leader of the Chinese democratic revolution, the school was initially named ‘Weiyi School’(惟一学堂, literally 'Unique school"). Later, in 1912, it got a new name of 'Guang Yi Middle School', which is still valid. Throughout its history, the school’s name, as well as its location, has been changed for a few times mainly due to Anti-Japanese War and Chinese Civil War. Eventually, since September 1984, 'The High School Attached to Hunan Normal University' has been in effect.
As its name implies, the school is 'attached to', or 'affiliated with' Normal University, which gives the privilege of employing the best college graduates. Therefore, the school is well known for its top-ranking quality in teaching all over the country. It has produced a lot of notable people in China, such as former Premier Minister of China, Zhu Rongji and several academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering. The school and other three prestigious high schools in Changsha, are recognized "the Famous Four".

Famous quotes containing the words high, school, attached, normal and/or university:
“Whatever is felt upon the page without being specifically named there—that, one might say, is created. It is the inexplicable presence of the thing not named, of the overtone divined by the ear but not heard by it, the verbal mood, the emotional aura of the fact or the thing or the deed, that gives high quality to the novel or the drama, as well as to poetry itself.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Specialization is a feature of every complex organization, be it social or natural, a school system, garden, book, or mammalian body.”
—Catharine R. Stimpson (b. 1936)
“Well, most men have bound their eyes with one or another handkerchief, and attached themselves to some of these communities of opinion. This conformity makes them not false in a few particulars, authors of a few lies, but false in all particulars. Their every truth is not quite true. Their two is not the real two, their four not the real four; so that every word they say chagrins us and we know not where to set them right.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Everyone in the full enjoyment of all the blessings of his life, in his normal condition, feels some individual responsibility for the poverty of others. When the sympathies are not blunted by any false philosophy, one feels reproached by one’s own abundance.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
