The Ministry of Education and five other departments recently issued the "Plan for Adjusting, Optimizing and Reforming the Setting of Disciplines and Majors in General Higher Education" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), proposing to optimize and adjust the distribution of about 20% of disciplines and majors in universities by 2025, establish a new batch of disciplines and majors that adapt to new technologies, new industries, new formats, and new models, and eliminate disciplines and majors that are not suitable for economic and social development. The Plan specifies that the proportion of undergraduate majors in basic disciplines, especially science and basic medical sciences, will further increase; Build a number of future technology colleges, modern industry colleges, high-level public health colleges, and outstanding engineering colleges, and establish a number of professional characteristic colleges. Within three years, 20% optimization and adjustment of disciplines and majors in universities will be carried out, which is unprecedented and highlights the urgency of optimizing and adjusting disciplines and majors. The next step in the reform and development of higher education in China will face dual challenges from both internal and external sources. Internally, higher education has entered the era of popularization, requiring schools to shift from emphasizing scale development to emphasizing quality improvement, and to eliminate disciplines and majors with poor quality and lack of characteristics. Externally, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the demand for talent in society has undergone significant changes. To cultivate talents, universities must solve the problem of "two skins" of supply and demand, and cultivate innovative talents that meet the needs of social development. This requires universities to adjust their professional settings and innovate talent cultivation models based on their own educational positioning and conditions. Therefore, completing the adjustment of 20% of disciplines and majors in universities within 3 years has attracted public attention. How to achieve true adjustment and optimization instead of just going through the motions? Or as some worried voices suggest, how can schools prevent "new bottled old wine" from packaging or renaming old majors? These issues all deserve special attention. In addition, it is necessary to avoid universities blindly setting up disciplines and majors that seem to connect with new industries, new technologies, and new formats in order to complete the adjustment and optimization tasks, but in reality, it is difficult to ensure the quality of the majors, resulting in the problem of excessive addition of certain majors. Adjusting and optimizing disciplines and majors should not pursue speed, but emphasize quality. To ensure the high-quality and distinctive development of newly established majors, it is necessary to implement and expand the autonomy of schools, establish a modern school system, and play the role of school professor committees and academic committees. The professor committee and academic committee, based on the national macro strategy, combined with the school's educational positioning and conditions, rigorously demonstrate the newly established majors, and resolutely refuse to offer majors that do not have the characteristics of the school. For the promotion of interdisciplinary and talent training mode reform, education and academic based management and evaluation should also be implemented to avoid the single leadership of the administrative department, otherwise it is likely to become formalism and difficult to achieve practical results. According to statistical data, the scale of higher education in China has nearly doubled in the past 20 years. The enrollment scale of undergraduate and vocational (vocational) students in higher education has expanded from 5.4282 million in 2002 to 10.0132 million in 2021. In order to expand the enrollment scale and size of education, many universities choose to offer humanities and social sciences majors with relatively low educational costs. This not only leads to the talent cultivation of humanities and social sciences majors exceeding social demand, but also affects the quality of talent cultivation in these majors. In recent years, the Humanities Society
