1. Tsinghua University is a famous institution of higher learning in China. It is located in the beautiful Tsinghua Garden in the northwest suburbs of Beijing. It is one of the important bases for high-level talent training and scientific and technological research in China.
2. The predecessor of Tsinghua University is Tsinghua Academy, which was founded in 1911. It was originally a preparatory school for studying in the United States established by the Qing government. In 1912, it was renamed Tsinghua School. In order to try to cultivate local talents, the university department was established in 1925 and the research institute (Chinese Studies) was opened in the same year. In 1928, it was renamed "National Tsinghua University".
3. Due to the improvement of school running goals and the expansion of the number of students, the Office of Foreign Studies Affairs submitted a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Faculty of Academic Affairs on December 22, 1910, applying to change the name of the Study Tour Center to Tsinghua Academy and change the name. The meaning is connected with the inscription of Emperor Xianfeng. "It was found that the foundation of the museum was originally the site of a garden given by Tsinghua University as a reward. The plaque of Emperor Wen Zongxian's royal letter is still hanging in the garden. It is proposed to keep the old name and name it Tsinghua Academy to honor the legacy of the previous dynasty and to highlight the imperial court. The reputation of the right text is particularly consistent with the facts. "On January 5, 1911, the academic department approved the submission of the Office of Foreign Studies Affairs.
4. The original site of Tsinghua Garden was established during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Part of the Xichun Garden built. During the Daoguang period, Xichun Garden was divided into two gardens, the east and west. The west garden was named "Jinchun Garden"; the east garden was still named "Xichun Garden". After Xianfeng ascended the throne, he changed the name of Xichun Garden in the east to "Tsinghua Garden". Tsinghua Garden was given by Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty.
5. The plaque behind the G-shaped hall of today's "Tsinghua Garden" is inscribed with the four characters "Shui Mu Tsing Hua". There is a couplet on both sides that says: The mountain light outside the threshold is extraordinary through the thousands of changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter; the window The shadow of the clouds wanders from east to west, north and south, which is a fairyland. The four words "water, wood and Qinghua" come from the poem "You Xichi" written by Xie Shuyuan of the Jin Dynasty, "Jingzhan sings and sings, and the water and wood clear Qinghua." This "Zhan" means clarification. Because there is a pond behind the Gongzi Hall, there is a poem by Xie, titled "Shui Mu Qing Hua"
