Brief introduction of the
history of Tsinghua University
The Tsinghua
University is located in the Tsinghua Garden,
which was the imperial
garden in Qing dynasty.
In 1901, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing and
forced the
Qing dynasty government to sign the
Boxer Protocol. According to this Protocol, Qing
government need to pay a large number of
reparations to the aggressor countries. In
1911, based on a part of this reparations, a
School named “Tsinghua Xuetang” was built
as
Preparatory School for students to study in United
States. “Tsinghua Xuetang” was
the predecessor
of today’s Tsinghua University. The name “National
Tsinghua
University” was adopted in 1928.
Since its establish, with a motto of Self-
Discipline and Social Commitment, Tsinghua
University is dedicated to academic
excellence, the well-being of Chinese society and
to global development. Today, most national
and international rankings place Tsinghua
as
one of the best universities in Mainland China.
So we can see three different architectural
styles of buildings in the campus of Tsinghua
University. The old buildings are mainly
located in the west of Xuetang Road, in the
east of Xuetang Road there are all new
buildings which was built after 1949.
泥沙馆
Sedimentation Building
Sedimentation Building
is mainly built for the research of hydraulics and
river
dynamics. It contains offices,
boardrooms and laboratories.
二校门 The Old Gate
The Old Gate was built in 1909. The Gate was
the main entrance to the school campus
at that
time.
At that time, the Gate was heavily
guarded. In those years, underclassmen were not
allowed to go out of the gate without
permission from school authorities. In addition,
in order to preserve the sanctity of the
learning environment, outside people without
permission were also forbidden to pass through
the gate.
In 1933, after the expansion of the
residential area, the former enclosing wall was
moved to further out. A new gate, now
Tsinghua's West Gate, became the new main
entrance. Ever since, the original gate
has been called Er Xiao Men (means
school gate
The Old Gate was demolished in 1960's. Donated
by Tsinghua University Alumni, it
was rebuilt
in 1991, following the original design.
日晷Sundial
The sundial is a classical timer
used in ancient times. It is a gift given by the
graduates
in 1920. It serves as a reference
for class time for students, and also a reminder
to them
that every second of time should be
valued.
It was carved with the motto
Latin characters together with the date of
construction. Today, the motto
louder than
words
The?Sundial?is?made?of?silver?covered?wi
th?enamel.?The Sundial stood in front of
Tsinghua’s grassy quadrangle before the
foundation of People’s Republic of China
(about 1948). The planar surface of the
sundial turned to be stony then, since the former
silver one covered with enamel disappeared.
Tsinghua often had struggle meeting on
the
grassy quadrangle during the Cultural Revolution.
The oval grassy quadrangle was
changed into a
rectangle and the Sundial was removed in order to
enlarge the field. The
place where the Sundial
used to stand was stuffed with cement, and the
Sundial was
missing. After the Cultural
Revolution, Tsinghua began to collect the old
things of
the university, and the Sundial was
found in a pile of stones, but its planar
disappeared.
The Sundial we see nowadays had
been repaired after that, and its planar was newly
made. It was here since the 70th anniversary
of the foundation of Tsinghua.
清华学堂 Tsinghua
Xuetang
Tsinghua Xuetang is one of the
landmarks of Tsinghua University. Xuetang means
school, a place for teaching. The construction
of Tsinghua Xuetang was completed in
1916. It
was one of the main buildings of the school at its
early stage.
The four Chinese characters
painted above the main entrance read
the first
name of the institution when it was founded. The
inscription was by Na Tong,
a Great Scholar
and Grand Minister in late Qing Dynasty.
Tsinghua Xuetang served as classrooms for
senior students at the beginning of the
school. After the east part was built, it
remained a dormitory for senior graduating
students for several years. In 1925, the
Institute of Chinese Classics was set up here.
The renowned “Four Tutors
Guowei,
Zhao Yuanren, Chen Yinque, (梁启超、王国维、赵元任、陈寅恪)the
famous archeologist Li Ji, and litterateur Wu
Mi were brought together.
In the last few
decades, it was used as teaching building and
classrooms. Now it is the
offices of some main
administration departments: the Graduate School,
the
undergraduate academic department and the
R&D department.
大礼堂 Auditorium
The
Auditorium is a symbol of Tsinghua University. The
Auditorium was designed by
American architect
H.K. Murphy in 1913, and completed in 1917. It is
one of the four
major building projects
carried out by Tsinghua School, together with
Tsinghua
Xuetang, the old library, and the
west gymnasium. Since the American designer didn’t
believe the quality of building materials in
China, they imported the costing cork floors,
chairs and even the red bricks all from
America. The design of Auditorium based on the
image of the auditorium in University of
Pennsylvania. Endowed with the feature of
both
Greek and Roman building, looks very elegant.
For a long time, the building has been long
viewed as the symbol of persistence,
simplicity and indomitable will. Though more
than 90 years has passed, the Auditorium
still
maintains quite well. Large-scaled activities like
every Student Festival of different
departments and some concerts are often held
here.
新水利馆 Department of Hydraulic Engineering
The Water Conservancy Building is hosts the
Department of Hydraulic Engineering.
Constructed in the year 1955. Its designer is
Mr. Zhou Weiquan. In order to match the
style
of the buildings around the great auditorium, the
designer applied the same
methods in his
general drawing arrangement and architectural
style arrangement. The
appearance of the
building consists of elements like red brick wall
and arch door,
window and gate.
Department of Hydraulic Engineering dates back
to the Hydraulic Engineering group
and
Hydraulic Engineering laboratory of the Civil
Engineering Department in the late
the
school-department adjustment in 1952, department
of Hydraulic and
department of Hydropower
Engineering were founded. In 1955, it moved into
the new
department building and was
reestablished as Department of Hydraulic
Engineering.
The department has a strong
teaching staff, including six academicians and 40
professors. The former President of China, Hu
Jintao graduated from this department
in 1965.
智者乐水、仁者乐山
The statue
of “Zhi Zhe Le Shui, Ren Zhe Le Shan” was built in
2002 to commemorate
the 50th anniversary of
the Department of Hydraulic Engineering. The
statue was
donated by alumni graduated in
1965, including our former President Hu Jintao and
former Minister of Water Resources Wang
Shucheng.
The sentence is from Confucian
Analects. The left part of the statue represents
hard
mountain rocks, and the right part
represents flowing water. It means wise men are
sharp-minded, just like flowing waters, kind
men are kindhearted and tolerant, just like
staunch mountains. That is how the statue
comes into being.
科学馆Science Building
The
Science Building is also one of the Four Early
Architectures of Tsinghua University.
It was
first built in 1917 and was finished 1919. Again
Mr. H.K. Murphy added his
expertise and
talents to the design of the Science Building.
There are characters in both Chinese and old
English of “SCIENCE BVILDING” on
the lintel of
the door which are distinguished and simple. It
was used for science
teaching and experiments
when first built because it possesses of the most
advanced
equipment. Later it served as Physics
Department Building for 73 years till the
newly-
built Physics Department teaching
building came into use. This building brought out
countless scientists and many of them are
famous all around the world for their
contribution to our earth, such as Wang
Ganchang, Wang Zhuxi, Peng Hengwu, Qian
Sanqiang, He Zehui and Lin Jiaqiao.
(王淦昌、王竹溪、彭恒武、钱三强、何泽慧、
林家翘)Among the 23
scientists honored by the country in 1999 for
their great
contributions to the astonishing
accomplishment of the “Atomic Bomb, hydrogen
Bomb and artificial satellite”, 9 graduated
from Physics Department of Tsinghua
University.
Now, the Science Building is
the dreaming place for the young generation
nationwide
who is interested in science.
清华园 Tsinghua Garden
The more popular name
of the garden is Gong Zi Ting -- which in Chinese
means H-
Shaped House. Viewed from above, the
central part of the house resembles the letter
The garden was the residence of a Qing
emperor's brother's family. In the early days of
Tsinghua School, the garden was used as the
school's first head office building. Student
enrollment lists were posted on the wall at
the front gate. For some years in its history,
the east room in the front section was
used as the Music Center, the west room as the
teacher's reading room and the back section to
accommodate distinguished foreign
guests. The
great Indian poet Tagore stayed there when he
visited China in 1924.
近春园(荷塘月色)Jinchun Garden
Jinchun Garden was the residence of emperor
Xian Feng before he succeeded his father.
After he took power, he changed the name
“Xichun garden” into “Tsinghua garden”
and
extended the whole garden.
In the summer of
1927, during one sleepless night, the well-known
Professor Zhu
Ziqing of Tsinghua, went for a
stroll around the lake area to think about the
tremendous
changes occurring in Chinese
society. When the lovely landscape caught his
attention,
he was moved to write the now-
classic essay of the Lotus Pond in the
Moonlight.
水木清华 Shuimu Tsinghua
Shuimu
Tsinghua which means
the most captivating
spots in Tsinghua. It was founded in the 18th
century. It used to be
a part of the imperial
garden, so it is also called 'garden within a
garden'.
The four Chinese characters
were
copied from an inscription by Emperor Kang Xi. On
the opposite of the main gate,
there exists a
sculpture of famous proser Mr. Zhu Ziqing.
清华图书馆Tsinghua University Library
The
Tsinghua Library is one of the landmarks at
Tsinghua University which now has a
collection
of more than 4 million books. Tsinghua Library
consists of three parts: the
old library, Yifu
library and Li Wenzheng Library which is also
called the north library.
The old library also
consists of the early part and the latter
extension part. The Tsinghua
Library has been
under construction four times and its life span
covers more than 90
years.
The early part
of the old library was designed by a famous
American architect H.K.
Murphy and was
completed in 1919. It was considered to be one of
the Four Tsinghua
Early Buildings. The
extension part of the old library was finished in
1931 and covered
an area of three times as
large as the early part. The Yifu library was
built in 1991. It
was donated by the famous
philanthropist Mr. Shao Yifu and designed by
academician
Mr. Guan Zhaoye from the School of
Architecture. Mr. Guan used what most Tsinghua
old architectures adopted such as the red
bricks and grey tiles in order to keep
consistency with the style of the previous
one. The Li Wenzheng library was completed
in this year. It was donated by the
industrialist Mr. Li wenzheng and also designed by
architect Mr. Guan Zhaoye.
The library
is so superior in design that it received many
honors, including “one
of the Top 10
architectures of Beijing” in the ua Library has
deep cultural
and human atmosphere. Mr. Qian
Zhongshu had once made up his mind to read all the
books from the library and Mr. Cao Yu wrote
his most famous drama Thunderstorm
(Lei Yu) in
the library.
西操场 West Sports Ground
West
Sports Ground is famous for its blue athletic
track which was repainted last year.
Its
original color is red. In the west of the
playground is west Gymnasium.
It was designed
by architect H.K. Murphy and was completed in
1919. It was
considered to be one of the Four
Tsinghua Early Buildings. When it was founded, the
gym was one of the most advanced of its kind
in the country. It housed a basketball
court,
an athletic track, and various kinds of athletic
equipment. It also has an indoor
swimming
pool.
It has been a gathering place for the
most outstanding people in the field of physical
education, bringing up thousands of talented
athletes to represent China. After the
liberation of China, former Chairman Mao
Zedong used to swim there. Pioneers of
physical education such as John Ma and Hao
Gengshen taught there for decades.
