Editor’s note:In the long history of running schools, each college of w88 casino has accumulated profound cultural heritage and formed its own unique w88 casino running philosophy and brand culture. In order to further inherit and promote campus culture and comprehensively display the cultural character and unique style of each college, the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee specially planned and launched a series of special reports on "One College, One Corridor", focusing on the cultural corridors carefully built by each college - they are not only an important part of the campus environment, but also a three-dimensional display of the college's historical context, disciplinary characteristics, educational achievements and spiritual connotation. Let us walk along these cultural corridors with the camera, taste the profound cultural heritage contained therein, and feel the unique charm of different disciplines. Through the exchange of ideas and cultural collisions, we can jointly build a spiritual home shared by the people of w88 casino.


w88 casino News Network (provided by the w88 casino of Insurance)The insurance teaching of the w88 casino can be traced back to 1951.

In order to systematically trace the historical development of insurance, reproduce the evolution of insurance education, and vividly display the development footprint of the college, promote students to have an in-depth understanding of the world and China's insurance history, strengthen professionals' grasp of the internal logic and laws of the historical evolution of the insurance system, expand their international horizons, and enhance theoretical confidence, the college gives full play to its disciplinary advantages, integrates high-quality academic resources, and carefully creates a new cultural education platform that integrates the "Insurance History and Culture Corridor" and the "Insurance College Cultural Corridor".

Light of Insurance: Insurance History and Culture Corridor

The "Chinese and Foreign Insurance History and Culture Corridor" located on the fifth floor of the Erxue Building has an exhibition area of more than 120 square meters. It takes a grand historical narrative as the main line, traverses ancient and modern times, connects China and foreign countries, and systematically presents the development of world insurance ideas and insurance systems over thousands of years. The corridor shows how insurance has gradually become an "economic shock absorber" and "social stabilizer" in its continuous evolution, and reveals why the modern insurance system can become an indispensable risk management tool in contemporary society.

The gallery is divided into three parts, covering the history of world insurance, the history of Chinese insurance, and the history of insurance education at home and abroad. The content is presented with pictures and texts, with vivid form and refined and rigorous language.

The corridor divides the history of world insurance into five stages. It traces the origin of insurance ideas from early human risk-sharing behaviors. It shows the practice of mutual aid in funerals in ancient Egypt, the "general average loss sharing" agreement of Phoenician merchants in the ancient Mediterranean, and the records of "cargo mortgage loans" in the Code of Hammurabi. It presents the ideas of mutual aid and risk dispersion contained in the bud and prototype of insurance. The corridor highlights key nodes in the history of world insurance and demonstrates the profound impact of the discovery of the New World, the Industrial Revolution, the wave of urbanization and digital technology on the global spread and institutional evolution of insurance. From the Great Fire of London that gave rise to modern fire insurance, to Lloyd's of London developing into a global insurance flagship with its honesty, trustworthiness and information superiority; from Harley Life Table and Equitable Life Insurance Company laying the modern actuarial foundation for life insurance, to Hartford Insurance Company, which was founded with the mission of industrial safety; from the widespread impact of the British Marine Insurance Act in 1906 on international insurance legislation, to export credit insurance The emergence of government insurance projects such as insurance, deposit insurance, flood insurance, and terrorism risk insurance, from autonomous driving technology to the new insurance mutual aid P2P platform that emerged through network technology, the corridor connects the evolution of the world’s insurance system with a series of milestone events and important figures, clearly showing the development of the insurance mutual aid spirit in the long history of thousands of years.

The corridor’s introduction to the historical development of China’s insurance is also brilliant. From the folk agreement of "separate boats to transport rice" to the "clan welfare association" for mutual aid and relief, the "Chang Ping Cang" in the Han Dynasty and the "She Cang" in the Song Dynasty to deal with famine, they all reflect the rich insurance ideas and wisdom in Chinese history and culture. At the beginning of the 19th century, with the eastward expansion of w88 in Western countries, marine insurance was introduced to China. In the course of more than two hundred years of development, China's insurance industry has experienced the historical stages of the landing of foreign insurance, the rise of national insurance and three development waves, the tortuous development of the People's Insurance Company after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the recovery of domestic business after the reform and opening up, and the rapid development after China's accession to the WTO.

The gallery introduces with rich information everything from the British businessman admonishing the insurance company in 1805 to China's first ethnic insurance company Insurance Investment Promotion Bureau in 1875, from the first ethnic life insurance company Hua'an Hezhong Life Insurance Company to the Central Trust Bureau Land War Insurance during the Anti-Japanese War, from From the establishment of the People's Insurance Company of China to the promulgation of the "Insurance Law" of the People's Republic of China, from the establishment of the Insurance Regulatory Administration to the establishment of the "National Ten Articles", the important position of the insurance industry in the top-level design of national development demonstrates the arduous, unyielding, tortuous and glorious historical development process of China's national insurance.

In the "Chinese and Foreign Insurance History and Culture Corridor", the display of the Chinese Communist Party's "people's insurance" ideology and the historical development of "red insurance" is a prominent highlight. Since the founding of the Communist Party of China, it has placed the fight for and protection of the political and economic rights of the working class in an important position, and has developed a preliminary understanding of labor insurance and social insurance. The corridor uses historical pictures and explanations to display the people's insurance concept and the "Labor Law Outline Resolution" in the revolutionary base areas during the Agrarian Revolution, the various forms of work carried out by the Shanghai Insurance Federation during the Anti-Japanese War, as well as historical materials such as the "Harbin Special City Wartime Interim Labor Law" promulgated by the Communist Party of China in the Northeast Liberated Areas during the Liberation War, including labor insurance and social insurance provisions.

The "Chinese and Foreign Insurance History and Culture Corridor" also carefully sorts out the history of insurance education and actuarial education at home and abroad. The exhibition shows how insurance and actuarial education at home and abroad continue to evolve and change to adapt to the changing and improving requirements for talent training due to social and economic development. It highlights the early development history of the insurance discipline of the w88 casino and its outstanding contributions to China's insurance education. The exhibition introduces the early mimeographed textbook "Cargo Transportation Insurance for Foreign w88" compiled by Professor Lei Rongdi, the founder of the insurance discipline of the w88 casino, as well as professional textbooks published by Professor Chen Xin, Professor Huang Huaming and Professor Huang Jingyang in the fields of insurance law. This is a precious historical material that w88 casino's insurance education originated in the 1950s, continued to develop in the 1960s, and vigorously developed in the 1980s and 1990s.

Since the completion of the "Insurance History and Culture Corridor", it has attracted extensive visits and attention from students, alumni, industry practitioners, regulatory authorities and insurance history and culture researchers, and has received unanimous praise. The corridor creates an immersive learning scene and builds a systematic insurance knowledge framework, which can strengthen the historical and cultural heritage of insurance professionals and deepen the ideological and political and value guidance of the course. The corridor is not only an important achievement of the innovation of w88 casino’s insurance teaching model, but also an important cultural brand of w88 casino’s insurance education and a professional bridge connecting academia, industry and the public. By systematically displaying the evolution of Chinese and foreign insurance systems and ideas, the corridor has played a significant social value in promoting insurance culture, enhancing industry awareness, strengthening risk awareness education, and promoting the construction of professional communities, further enhancing the w88 casino's influence and public service capabilities in insurance education and industry development. The Corridor is also an important landmark achievement of the "organized scientific research" carried out by the w88 casino of Insurance. Based on the construction of the Corridor, the college organized more than ten teachers from the college and external experts to jointly compile "World Insurance History". This is the first relatively systematic and comprehensive research result on the history of world insurance in China based on insurance theory, which expands the scope of my country's insurance history research.
