There is a dispute between the two sides over whether the Huanggang Jinghe School in Xixian New District, Shaanxi Province is related to the Huanggang Middle School in Hubei Province.
On July 31, Hubei Huanggang Middle School issued a statement saying that Shaanxi Xixian New District Huanggang Jinghe School had nothing to do with the school. That evening, the Huanggang City Education Bureau of Hubei Province also supported the statement of Hubei Huanggang Middle School.
But on August 6, Shaanxi Xixian Huanggang Jinghe School issued a statement saying that the statement of Hubei Huanggang Middle School was contrary to the facts, and that the source of the school's rights to use the "Huanggang" education brand was clear and the facts were clear.
The dispute between the two places over the right to use the education brands has become a Rashomon.

Xixian Huanggang Jinghe School: Education brand is authorized

The investment and construction of Huanggang Jinghe School in Xixian New District is related to a company called Shaanxi Hengrui Culture Development Co., Ltd.
Public information shows that Shaanxi Hengrui Cultural Development Co., Ltd. was established in January 2017 with a registered capital of 200 million yuan and 1 employee.

On August 6, Shaanxi Hengrui Culture Development Co., Ltd. and Xixian New District Huanggang Jinghe School issued a statement refuting the claims of Hubei Province Huanggang Middle School.
Xixian New District Huanggang Jinghe School posted on its official WeChat public account: "Our school was approved by the Shaanxi Province Xixian New District Administrative Approval and Government Service Bureau's "Approval on the Establishment of Xixian New District Huanggang Jinghe School" (Shaanxi Xianshenfuzhun [2018] No. 37), and was established in July 2018 after being registered in accordance with the law and holding the "Private School Operating Permit" and "Private Non-Enterprise Unit Registration Certificate".
