Tsinghua University Library consists of two parts: the new library and the old library. The whole library was built in three phases, spanning 75 years. The first phase of the project was designed by famous American architect Murphy. 19 16 started in April, and 19 19 was completed in March. The eastern part of the old museum is the first of the "four major buildings" in the early days of the school. At that time, the building area was only 2 1 14 square meters. The second phase of the project began in the early 1930s. Due to the development of the school, the Chinese and western parts of the old museum were rebuilt under the auspices of a famous architect known as "South Yang and North Liang (Liang Sicheng)". The building area has been expanded to 7,700 square meters, which can accommodate 300,000 books and more than 700 reading seats. The third phase of the project (new museum) began in1early 1990s, and was donated by Jazz and designed by Academician Guan. Completed in September, 199 1. The new museum not only maintains the style of the old museum, but also innovates in many details, so it won the "National Excellent Engineering Design Gold Award" of 1993. So far, Tsinghua University Library has a total construction area of 28,000 square meters, with more than 2,800 reading seats, a total collection of more than 4 million volumes and more than 25,000 kinds of full-text academic journals in Chinese and foreign languages.
Some people say that architecture is solidified music. If the architecture of Tsinghua campus is regarded as a melodious and high-pitched music, then the library is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful notes in this music. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, no matter whether the sun rises or the red wheel sets in the west, every time I walk into the Tsinghua University Library, I see a faint book fragrance, and all the students are fighting for it. Here is the ocean of knowledge, here is the world of knowledge, here is the spiritual home to the other shore, and here is the road to brilliant success. ...
observatory
The observatory, formerly known as the National Tsinghua University Meteorological Observatory, was built in the summer of 193 1. In order to provide the best research conditions and run a first-class meteorology, the school invested more than 33,000 yuan to build this meteorological observatory and equipped it with instruments and equipment according to international standards and regulations. At that time, in North China, the data of Tsinghua University Meteorological Department was the most complete, accurate, comprehensive and reliable. Construction units in Beijing, Tianjin and Taiyuan often go to the meteorological department of Tsinghua to collect data and consult questions. Unfortunately 1952 With the adjustment of Tsinghua departments, the Department of Meteorology was merged into Peking University. Due to long-term unmanned maintenance, the meteorological station is getting more and more dilapidated. It was not until 1997 that Tsinghua changed its lawlessness (law, astronomy). With the gradual establishment of the Department of Astrophysics, the Meteorological Observatory was renamed the Observatory. The exterior design of Xintianwen Terrace is organized by the Academician of Architecture Department. In order to make it more magnificent, a layer was added under the astronomical dome and on the basis of the original meteorological observatory. Over the past few years, from this white octagonal tower, more than a dozen doctors and postdocs from American super-class universities such as Harvard and MIT have come out. In just a few years, astrophysics in Tsinghua has surpassed many universities with a long history of astronomical research and ranked among the best. The building of the Observatory has also been injected into the Crystal Monument to show the world the "Tsinghua Speed".
inner gate
The second gate is located on Tsinghua Road, which is one of the main roads in Tsinghua. It is one of the most representative landmark buildings in Tsinghua campus and is considered as the symbol of Tsinghua University. The second school gate is a classical and elegant "archway" building with blue bricks, white columns and three arches. The lintel is engraved with the three characters "Tsinghua Campus" inscribed by Na Tong, a great scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. Standing on Tsinghua Road, looking north at the second school gate, you can see Tsinghua Auditorium, sundial and Tsinghua School.
The Second Gate is the earliest main gate in Tsinghua, which was built at 1909. 1933, the campus was expanded, the garden wall was moved out, and the new gate (now the west gate) was opened. Since then, this earliest school gate has been called the "Second School Gate". Spring, summer, autumn and winter, year after year, time flies, standing on the main road and the second school gate of the campus, silently witnessing the history and development of Tsinghua in the storm. It is not only a distinctive symbol of Tsinghua campus, but also a symbol of Tsinghua people's long-term hard work and pragmatic character. During the Cultural Revolution, the second school gate was destroyed and then rebuilt.
Gu Yue Tang
Gu Yue Hall, one of the ancient courtyards on the campus of Tsinghua, was built in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty, and it is separated from the West Courtyard of I-shaped Hall by a lane. This independent small courtyard has a total construction area of about 670 square meters. There are two white stone lions in front of the door, and the most distinctive hanging flower door is still well preserved. When Gu Yue Hall was first built, it was the owner's special study room. After Tsinghua University was founded, it became the teachers' dormitory. The courtyard is quiet and elegant, where Liang Qichao and Zhu Ziqing once lived. 1928, Tsinghua enrolled girls for the first time, and Gu Yue Hall was transformed into a dormitory for girls in Tsinghua. Mr. Wang Jianjun wrote in a poem: "Gu Yue Hall has undergone several changes, and people have gathered in the years." First, she was forbidden to blossom from a woman, and the flowers bloomed twice. Gu Yue Hall is currently the office of the school's general affairs organs and foreign affairs departments.
Quiet and beautiful ponds and Woods
"Shui Mu Tsinghua" is the most charming scenic spot in Tsinghua campus, which is located on the north side of the I-shaped hall. Compared with the humor garden in the Summer Palace, it is often called "the garden in the garden" in Tsinghua campus. The landscape design of "Shui Mu Tsinghua" is very unique. The forest mountain with changing seasons is surrounded by a beautiful water, and two exquisite and elegant ancient pavilions are hidden among the mountains. The lotus pond in Tsinghua, Shui Mu is one of the two lakes and one river in the campus water system of Tsinghua (the lotus pond in Tsinghua, Shui Mu, the lotus pond in Jinchunyuan and Wanquan River). In summer, the lotus is in full bloom, with a lush color; In winter, the snow falls on the surface of the pool, surrounded by Qiongzhi, and there is a unique scenery. This Gu Lou is beautiful and elegant, with weeping willows on the south side of Lianchi. It used to be the back building of I-shaped hall, the main corridor of "Tsinghua, Shui Mu" and the words "Tsinghua, Shui Mu". Beautiful, beautiful. The record is the imperial pen of Emperor Kangxi. The word "Tsinghua, Shui Mu" comes from Xie Hun's poem: "There are countless storms, white clouds are increasing, the scenery is full of birds, and Shui Mu is in Tsinghua. Among Zhu Zhu, there is a famous couplet written by Yin, a scholar and assistant minister of Xian Tong for three generations during the light years of the Qing Dynasty: "The mountain light outside the threshold is ever-changing, and the clouds in the window are extraordinary, which is the fairy house." "A waterfall can be seen on the west side of the lotus pond, with constant water all the year round, and the sound of water can be heard far away, which is refreshing. Because of its elegant environment, Tsinghua, Shui Mu is often chosen by Tsinghua students as a place to study and take a nap.
Near Spring Garden
The core landscape of the scenic spot near the Spring Garden is an island surrounded by "moonlight on the lotus pond" written by Zhu Ziqing. There are undulating hills and Woods on the island, and there is an ancient corridor on the southwest side of the island, which is connected with the shore by a white marble arch bridge. Every summer, many tourists come to look for "moonlight on the lotus pond". "On the winding lotus pond, I am looking forward to the leaves of Tian Tian. The leaves are high out of the water, like an elegant dancer's skirt. Moonlight, like running water, pours quietly on this leaf and flower. A thin layer of blue mist floats in the lotus pond. Leaves and flowers seem to have been washed in milk; This is like a dream in a sarong. " While reciting Zhu Ziqing's famous sentences, visitors can also see the Lotus Pond Moonlight Pavilion built by 1982 on Dongshan near Chunyuan to commemorate the famous sentence "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" written by Mr. Zhu Ziqing here.
Jinchun Garden was originally the former residence of Emperor Xianfeng of Qing Dynasty and the center of Xichun Park of Emperor Kangxi. During the light years of the Qing Dynasty, Xichun Garden was divided into East and West Gardens, and the western part of I-shaped hall was called Near Spring Garden. The inscription in the park near the Spring Garden reads: "Tsinghua, Shui Mu, was a lively holiday resort for a while."
I-shaped hall
I-shaped hall, formerly known as I-shaped hall, was the main building of Tsinghua campus before its establishment. Because the front hall and the back hall are connected by a short corridor, they look like the word "I" when viewed from above, hence the name. * * * There are more than 0/00 houses/kloc, with a total construction area of about 2,750 square meters. There are winding cloisters, carved ladder frames, brick walls and tiles in the yard. In Zhu Lan Painting Building, independent courtyards are connected with each other. Metasequoia glyptostroboides, pomegranate, begonia, cherry blossoms, pine and cypress are flourishing, and birds shuttle through them, which makes people feel quiet and unusual. In 2005, I-shaped hall won the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Cultural Heritage Protection Award.
I-shaped Hall was built by the eldest son of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, and it was the imperial garden of the emperor in Qianlong period. After Daoguang Emperor gave this garden to his fifth son, he called it "Xiaowuye Garden". There is a plaque hanging above the gate of I-shaped hall, which reads "Tsinghua Campus", which is the imperial pen of Emperor Xianfeng. Tsinghua University got its name. As an ancient building with a history of nearly 400 years, I-shaped hall has witnessed the century-old history of Tsinghua. 1911On April 29th, Tsinghua School officially opened, which was the opening ceremony held in the I-shaped hall. No matter in Tsinghua School, Tsinghua School or Tsinghua University, I-shaped hall is the administrative center, cultural activity center and foreign exchange center of the school. Tagore, a great Indian poet, stayed here during his visit to China from 65438 to 0924.
Wen Ting Bell
Wen Ting Pavilion is located on a mound on the west side of the auditorium. This is an ancient hexagonal pavilion. Wenting Pavilion was originally a bell pavilion, which existed at the beginning of the school term and was set up to order the whole school to work and rest. There is a big clock with a diameter of four feet in the pavilion. The bell rang all the way to Haidian. After the July 7th Incident, the Tsinghua campus fell into the hands of the Japanese aggressors, and the campus was destroyed, and the bell tower was destroyed. The clock in the museum and the bronze cannon under the museum were taken away by the Japanese aggressors, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the pavilions are towering and quite gentleman-like; On the edge of Tsinghua, Shui Mu, Zhong Ming's crock is like nature; Between pine and cypress, You Shan wrote down his patriotism. Beautiful, Wen Ting! Zhuang Zi, ring the bell! Great, You Shan!
Science college building
Covering an area of 27,000 square meters, the building area exceeds 6,543,800 square meters. It is the largest building in the Faculty of Science. The whole building is in the form of western classical architecture with modern flavor.

There are five institutions in the building: the Faculty of Science, the Department of Physics, the Department of Mathematics, the Advanced Research Center and the Analytical Center Laboratory of the Department of Chemistry.
Tsinghua Road
Tsinghua Road is one of the two main roads in Tsinghua University. The straight road extends from the west gate of Tsinghua to the easternmost part of the school, dividing the campus into north and south parts. Tsinghua Road, which runs through the east-west direction of the school, connects the teachers' living area, administrative office area and teaching area, the east-west part of the campus, the buildings of different periods and styles in Tsinghua, tradition and modernity. Walk along Tsinghua Road from the west gate, and you can see the landmark No.2 school gate along the way. From the No.2 school gate, you can overlook the auditorium, the sundial lawn and Tsinghua School, and cross the intersection of Tsinghua Road and Tang Xue Road. On the left side of the road are several century-old landmark buildings such as New Tsinghua School, Concert Hall and School History Museum. Cross the east main building and you can reach the main square. Ginkgo trees and Platanus acerifolia are planted on both sides of Tsinghua Road, and the school river winds from the south. On the Tsinghua Road in autumn, the golden ginkgo leaves sway on both sides of the road with the wind, adding an autumn romance to the Tsinghua campus. The fallen leaves on the ground are like a golden blanket on the road. Walking among them, you can feel the beauty and tranquility of the campus. Every morning, many Tsinghua students who are attending classes in the East Campus ride bicycles to Chaoyang's department library, forming a unique landscape.
Institute A, Institute C and Garden
Walking a few steps to the west from the second school gate, the sundial and other scenic spots are separated by a hill, but the scenery is very different from before. Suddenly, a beautiful garden appeared in front of us, which made people seem to have entered the Peach Blossom Garden written by Tao Yuanming. I saw ginkgo biloba, Davidia involucrata, paulownia, pine and cypress, walnut trees, together with many unknown tree species and flowers, rolling continuously. The sun obliquely passed through the branches and leaves, quietly sprinkled on the girl who concentrated on practicing yoga, sprinkled on the silver-haired old man who was moving, and sprinkled on the little squirrel who was jumping ... This is the location of Institute A and Institute C.
In the early days of the school, Hospital A, Hospital B and Hospital C (only Hospital A and Hospital C are left now) were located on the south side of I-shaped Hall and were built in1917 ~1919. They are all western-style single-brick wood structures with trees and flowers, surrounded by vegetation hills and streams, and the environment is elegant. Mei Yiqi once lived in a research institute for many years. The second office is Feng Youlan's residence. According to Zong Pu (Feng Youlan's second daughter), "The days in the second place are my father's most creative days". This is also Feng Youlan's shelter to cover progressive students. "One, two? Huang Cheng and Yao Yilin spent the night searching here during the Ninth National Games.
