Daotian Middle School (simplified Chinese: 稻田中学; traditional Chinese: 稻田中學; pinyin: Dàotián Zhōngxué), also known as Daotian (稻田), is public secondary school located in Changsha, Hunan Province, People's Republic of China.
[2][4][5] The school was established in the Ancient Rice Fields (古稻田) near Tianxin Pavilion, Changsha.
More than 200 acres of official land was allocated to build the school, which was completed in the autumn of 1911.
[4] The school opened on May 12, 1912, and was named the Hunan First Women's Normal School (Chinese: 湖南省立第一女子師範學校; pinyin: Húnán Shěnglì Dìyī Nǚzǐ Shīfàn Xuéxiào) by the Hunan provincial government of the Republic of China.
In 1915, due to the reduction of education funds, the second and third women's normal schools in Xiangxi and Hunan were merged and renamed Hunan Women's Normal School (Chinese: 湖南省女子師範學校; pinyin: Húnánshěng Nǚzǐ Shīfàn Xuéxiào).
