Abstract: As a part of higher education, the teaching and research sections at universities have been influenced by many
social complex environments, especially the national political and economic ones. From the founding of the PRC to the begin- ning of opening and reform, adapted to the highly centralized political system and planning economy, they manifested the poli- tics, administrative orientation and education as the center. After the opening and reform, the original existent environment of
these sections has changed with shifting of the work center to the modern socialist construction politically and to the establish- ment of socialist market economy. As an integral part of university system, these teaching and research sections need to step from sealing into opening and from the power’s inverted triangle to the erect one due to the alternation of their original environ- ment. Because of change of the universities’ internal management and transformation of practical technology, we should re- form the external power relationships and construct the teaching and research sections as the center junctions.
