History
Nanjing No. 1 High School dates back to 33rd year of Emperor Guangxu (1907). At that time, Sun Shao Yun and three other local leaders established "Chong Wen School" in Nanjing for children from the southern district of the Old City and provided them a place to study. In 1927, the government decided to set Nanjing as the capital city of China, and the school was renamed as the Capital City Central Experimental School which was inspired by Mr.Cai Yuanpei. It then became the first public middle school in Nanjing.
In the spring of 1927, the National Revolutionary Army occupied southern China. On April 18, Chiang Kai-shek started a national government, with Nanjing as its base. The government declared Nanjing the capital of the Republic of China. After the summer break, Nanjing Municipal Government set up five “experimental” schools in the central, western, eastern, southern, and northern districts respectively. Among them, the central capital experimental school was located at the corner of Zhonghua Avenue and Fu Xi Street. The location was the western garden of the Qing dynasty governor. From the 28th to the 29th year of Emperor Guangxu's era, “Three Rivers Normal School” (now called Nanjing University) was temporarily relocated to this location when the school started operating. Since the 33rd year of Emperor Guangxu, Chong Wen School, Jiang Ning First Elementary School, Jiang Ning county junior high school all started at this location.
In the year of 1933, the school was renamed as Nanjing City No.1 High School.
The land that the school currently occupies was previously used as a garden by a Qing dynasty official.

南京一中校歌
李清悚 词
周玲荪 曲大哉古都秀毓淮钟，
啊～啊～愿春风广被兮天下为公。
巍巍我校石城之中。
乐群敬业，朝气葱茏，
涵三德兮智仁与勇。
做生活兮洩洩融融。
啊～啊～愿春风广被兮天下为公。References
