Abstract:The institutionalization of disciplines constitutes the core of the department system while the department system is the foundation of universities. The crisis in the institutionalization of disciplines is inevitable due to the limitations of the subspecialty of disciplines. Once the disciplinary institution is established, it will gain its stability in practice. Even as a symbolic mark of university organization or knowledge division in the future, disciplines, with their own value, are still necessary. When it comes to the institutionalization of disciplines and their transformation, we should encourage the opening of disciplines and personnel flow with the respect for the current pattern of knowledge and subject division in order to promote interdisciplinary development gradually.
