Zunyi normal College is a school with the tradition of Red Revolution. When the Red Army marched through Zunyi, Mao Zedong, Zhu De and other revolutionaries of the older generation held a meeting of ten thousand people at the original school site. Teachers and students affected by the revolution actively participated in the revolution, and the school became the exchange center of new ideas and new cultures in northern Guizhou.

After a hundred years of development, the school has formed the school motto of "respecting moral education, studying hard to apply", the school spirit of "observing morality and learning with integrity", the teaching spirit of "paying equal attention to morality and intelligence" and the study style of "being diligent in thinking and seeking truth from knowledge". With the mission of "basing on local conditions and serving the grassroots", we have trained a large number of outstanding primary and secondary school teachers who are rooted in local areas and face the grassroots and high-quality talents who serve the local economy and society.

Under the new situation of comprehensively deepening the reform and the transformation and development of higher education, the school has put forward a new idea of reform and development: always adhere to the education, teaching and personnel training as the center, focusing on application, locality and multi-discipline, and strive to achieve the goal of creating an application-oriented comprehensive university and cultivating high-quality applied talents to meet the needs of local economic and social development and civilization progress. Promote the transformation of the school from a single normal college to an application-oriented comprehensive university, from serving basic education to fully serving local economic and social development and civilization progress, from focusing on basic theory training to focusing on application ability training, and from focusing on basic theory research to focusing on application research. Namely: adhere to one center, achieve two goals, focus on three bright spots and promote four changes.
