Chapter 27 School Environment
While getting familiar with the school, Zhao Mu and his friends came to Weiming Lake, where the national civilization of the Imperial Capital University was the first to visit.
When Zhao Mu thought of Weiming Lake, he unconsciously thought of the classic sentence "Your Majesty, do you still remember Xia Yuhe by Weiming Lake?" and couldn't help but smile. When Lu Da and his friends saw Zhao Mu laughing inexplicably, they asked Zhao Mu curiously what they were laughing at. So Zhao Mu smiled and said the sentence he suddenly thought of, and then the other three couldn't help laughing.
However, in addition to this sentence that deepens the reflection of Weiming Lake, Weiming Lake itself has a different meaning to the Imperial Capital University. The significance of Weiming Lake to the Imperial Capital University seems to be the same as the Han and Tang Dynasties to China. In addition to its inherent beauty, it has been condensed into a symbol in a cultural sense. Weiming Lake is the soul of the Imperial Capital University, and it is deeply rooted in people's minds as an image representing the Imperial Capital University.
Weiming Lake is very quiet, like a gentle woman. She lies peacefully in Yanyuan. The smooth lines formed by the undulating terrain around and the lakeshore make Weiming Lake like a piece of warm nephrite. The willows swaying by the lake and the winding paths make her look more indifferent and quiet.
Walking by the lake, you can experience the beautiful charm of Weiming Lake. The wind is without traces, but the water surface is rippling and the trees are lush by the lake. Now September is summer, and the surrounding number is lush, which makes Weiming Lake show its charm and brings a hint of coolness to the hot summer.
After slowly walking through Weiming Lake, a few people were still immersed in the beautiful scenery and charm of Weiming Lake. A few people came to Yannan Garden. Yannan Garden was named after its location in the south of Yanyuan. It is mainly used as a residence for foreign classrooms. According to the numbering order of all Chinese and foreign classrooms at that time, the residences in Yannan Garden were designated as No. 51 to No. 66. This number has not changed since the residence was built until now. Now, at the entrances of some houses, you can still see wooden door signs with black background and white characters, silently witnessing the vicissitudes of time. In the early 1950s, due to the expansion of the campus, the north end of the west wall of Yannan Garden extended outward, so a new house numbered No. 50 was found.
The architecture of Yannan Garden is different from the usual domestic architectural style. It is mainly "Western style". It is mostly two-story small buildings and also comes with a small garden. This is simply luxurious in the imperial capital where every inch of land is valuable.
Then a few people came to Boya Tower, which is a highly unified architectural masterpiece in terms of function, artistic shape and environmental coordination. Its beautiful shadow in Weiming Lake is deeply imprinted in the hearts of students at the Imperial Capital University. Boya Tower is located on a hill southeast of Weiming Lake. It is built in the style of a densely eaves brick tower in history. It was originally a water supply tower for the campus, and its unique design concept has become a masterpiece of the construction of Yanyuan.
The towering Boya Tower, the pine and cypress around it, and the rippling Weiming Lake form a major landscape of Yanyuan. Due to the clever building location, it can be seen from within and outside the Imperial Capital University from the beams, pillars, and ancient trees, which adds a bit more beautiful and magical. Boya Tower is like a weathered old man, standing silently by the lake, watching the changing wind and clouds, and the locked tower gate is like the old man's closed heart, containing the long years of life.
Then a few people came to Zhongting - the small hexagonal pavilion located on the small Tushan on the west bank of Weiming Lake. Zhongting has a bell and a pavilion. Pavilion - the dome hexagon with painted painted on it; Zhongting - antique, with eight-petal lotus-shaped at the bottom, like a skirt worn by girls. The lower part of the bell is carved with the turbulent sea and the rising sun gushing out from the sea. The upper part of the bell is twelve pairs of dragons dancing and rolling dragons playing with beads. The ears connected by two thick green dragons are hung on a crosswood on the top of the pavilion. Zhongting has a history of more than a hundred years. If you think about it carefully, history is even longer than the history of the Imperial Capital University. It can be regarded as a witness to the wind and rain along the way of the Imperial Capital University.
Then several people visited the bronze statue of Mr. Cai Heqing, the famous educator, the first president of the Imperial Capital University, and the largest lawn in the Imperial Capital University - Jingyuan Lawn. Jingyuan Lawn is a good place to relax. At the same time, it is also an important extracurricular activity place for teachers and students of Peking University. The literary and artistic evening party during the 100th anniversary of the Imperial Capital University was held here.
Others also visited the West Gate of the famous Imperial Capital University. This school gate was built by donated funds by the school alumni, so it is also called the Alumni Gate. The west gate is hung with an alumni alumni who was alumni of the Imperial Capital University. Taizu, who had worked in the Imperial Capital University Library, personally wrote the name of the Imperial Capital University. To this day, this western gate is still one of the important channels for teachers and students of Imperial Capital University to enter and exit the school. It is facing the Weixiuyuan teaching and staff dormitory area; and people who admire the whole country and even the world often stop here to take photos as their photos when they come to the Imperial Capital University. Now it is one of the landmark buildings of the Imperial Capital University.
Then several people visited the famous Stonefish, Qianlong Poetry Stele and other attractions. In the end, several people also visited the current scale second only to the National Library.
As the second largest library in China, it ranks first among the libraries of various universities in Asia. It is one of the earliest modern new libraries in China. It was approved by the State Council as the first batch of national key ancient book protection units. It has developed into a resource-rich, modern, comprehensive and open research library. So far, the cumulative amount of document resources in the branch library has reached about 11 million copies (pieces), of which more than 8 million paper books are collected, as well as a large number of domestic and foreign digital resources introduced and built by themselves, including various databases, electronic journals, electronic books and multimedia resources.
The library of Imperial Capital University has a long history. Mr. Li Dazhao and Taizu, the former revolutionary predecessors, have worked here. In many classic books in the library, you can also see the notes made by several revolutionary ancestors. The entire library uses a central air-conditioning system and is well-heated. It is truly a warm winter and cool summer, with bright windows and clean windows. It is a good place for teachers and students of Imperial Capital University to study. Moreover, the library borrows and borrows a book card or reads it in the management department with his own campus card, a book card, or a good place to charge for himself in the next few years. In Zhao Mu's idea, this will be a base for him to stay for a long time during his years in school.
