Tsinghua University - Qinghua University - Beijing -
"the MIT of China" 清华大学
Founded in 1911 on funds remitted from the Boxer Rebellion indemnities –
imposed by the victorious foreign forces that quelled the uprising –
Tsinghua (also spelled Qinghua) was initially used as a preparatory college
(Qinghua Xuetang) for students going to study in the United States.
Tsinghua, renowned for its engineering, boasts the likes of president Hu
Jintao among its fromer students. Like Peking Univerisity, Tsinghua’s
campus is a former Qing dynasty royal park "Qinghua Yuan" and a lot of
consideration has gone into ensuring the new architectural additions to the
grounds blend in with the character of the older structures.
Jinchun Yuan (Jinchun Garden) was the central area of the earliest imperial
garden - Xichun Yuan and a former royal residency, and comprises
traditional living quarters, pavilions and gardens surrounded by a serene,
clear-watered lake. And it is believed to be the inspiration for the well known
essay "The View of the Lotus Pond in the Moonlight," (He Tang Yue Se) by
Zhu Ziqing. To the north-east of the gardens is the Palace of the Ancient
Moon, a courtyard building, which was formerly used by members of the
imperial family as a study, but now functions as university offices.
To the north is Tsinghua Water and Wood (Shuimu Tsinghua). With its lotus
flower-filled lake surrounded by weeping willows and rock formations, it is
renowned for being the most beautiful place on campus and is often
described as 'the garden within the garden'.
Further north is Tsinghua's sprawling student library. The original library
building, located on the east side, was constructed in 1919. Other parts
were added in 1931 and in 1991. Just south of the library is the Grand
Auditorium with its Jeffersonian architectural design by American architect
Murphy. Built in 1917, the stocky Graeco-Roman building, made up of four
different sections with seats of 1,200 is a centerpiece of the campus.
The campus covers an incredible 3,000,000 square meters (756 acres), so
unless you have a full day to wander round, you’ll have to prioritize what you
want to see.

清华大学
清华大学（Tsinghua University），中国综合性大学，位于北京市海淀区清华园。学校占地面积400余公顷，建筑面积240余万平
方米。清华在工科方面是国内高校当之无愧的第一. 中国综合实力顶尖的大学.
清华大学的前身是清华学堂，始建于1911年，1912年更名为清华学校，1925年设立大学部，同年开办研究院（国学门），1928
年更名为“国立清华大学”，并于1929年秋开办研究院，各系设研究所。1937年抗日战争爆发后，南迁长沙，与北京大学、南开大
学联合办学，组建国立长沙临时大学，1938年迁至昆明，改名为国立西南联合大学。1946年，清华大学迁回清华园原址复校，
设有文、法、理、工、农等5个学院，26个系。
1952年，全国高校院系调整后，清华大学成为一所多科性的工业大学，被誉为“工程师的摇篮”。1978年以来，清华大学逐步恢复
理科、经济、管理和文科类学科，并成立研究生院和继续教育学院。1999年，原中央工艺美术学院并入，成为清华大学美术学
院。2006年，中国协和医科大学更名为“北京协和医学院（清华大学医学部）”，接受教育部、卫生部双重领导。目前，清华大学
设有13个学院，54个系，已成为一所具有理学、工学、文学、法学、医学、经济学、管理学和艺术学等学科的综合性、研究型大
学。
校园环境
清华大学主体所在地——清华园，地处北京西北郊名胜风景园林区，清朝康熙年间成为圆明园的附属园林，称熙春园。道光年间
分为熙春园和近春园两部分，咸丰年间熙春园改名为清华园。校园占地六千余亩，以南北主干道为线分为东区、西区。西区校园
为老校区，以美式的校园布局和众多西洋风格的砖石结构历史建筑为特色，大礼堂为其中心景观，图书馆、科学馆、清华学堂、
西体育馆及新建的理学院、新图书馆等建筑分布其间，而原“工字厅”、“古月堂”、“ 水木清华”等古建筑，以及朱自清先生在《荷
塘月色》中描述的“近春园荒岛——荷塘”等，则展示了中国传统的皇家园林风格。东区校园５０年代则以兴建的苏式主楼为主
体，90年代开始主楼前后新建了各院系系馆及综合体育馆、游泳馆、紫荆公寓等现代风格的建筑物，雄伟大气，而又安静舒适。

水木清华
水木清华是清华园内最引人入胜的一处胜景，地处工字厅后门外。四时变幻的林山，环珑着一泓秀水，山林之间掩映着两
座玲珑典雅的古亭，正额“水木清华”四字，庄美挺秀。“水木清华”四字，出自晋人谢混诗：“惠风荡繁囿，白云屯曾阿，景昃鸣
禽集，水木湛清华。”正中朱柱上悬有清道光进士，咸、同、光三代礼部侍郎殷兆镛撰书的名联：“槛外山光历春夏秋冬万千变
幻都非凡境，窗中云影任东西南北去来澹荡洵是仙居。”

清华大学大礼堂
大礼堂坐落于校园西区的中心地带，庄严雄伟，一直被清华师生视为自己坚定、朴实、不屈不挠性格的象征。大礼堂始建
于1917年9月，与图书馆、科学馆和体育馆合称“四大建筑”。
大礼堂位于大草坪的正北端，大礼堂平面呈正十字形，南端为门厅，北端为舞台。礼堂采用古城堡风格的大圆顶，属古罗
马的拜占庭风格，四周各堆砌了一块巨大的三角顶楣，十字形的坡顶与最高处的铜面穹顶相辉映。门前四根汉白玉爱奥尼克式
(一说科林斯式)石柱约两丈多高，约两人合抱，柱上纵向凹槽若干条，各凹槽的交接棱角上设计了一部分圆面，花篮式柱头以毛
莨叶作装饰，形似盛满花草，整体柱型设计规范而细腻，充满生气，属古希腊晚期的科林斯风格。礼堂有三个圆拱形刻有富丽
精致浮雕的大铜门嵌在汉白玉的门套之中，白色的门廊和红色的砖墙形成鲜明的对比，门上部的圆拱中有粗细相间的十几根钢
条拼接出的图案，在礼堂整个朴素端庄之中又添了一分生动活泼，每个正门上方有一个大型窗户。大礼堂建筑面积约1840平方
米，礼堂内有1200个座位。

清华大学必赏景点
闻一多纪念亭是一座古式六角亭，为纪念校友闻一多先生而建的。该处原有钟亭一座，建校初即有之，为号令全校作息
而设。亭内原有大钟一口，径可四尺，铸有“大明嘉靖甲午年五月日阜成门外三里河池水村御马监太监麦监造”。钟声清脆，远
及海淀。闻一多在抗日战争期间，目睹国内反民主的独裁政治，拍案而起，积极参加中国共产党领导下的民主运动，终为反
动派所不容。1946年7月15日被特务暗杀于昆明住所前。

自清亭
自清亭原名“迤东亭”，在工字厅东墙外的土山上。1978年改名“自清亭”以纪念朱自清先生。
朱自清是我国近代杰出的教育家、诗人和散文学家。他的散文《背影》、《荷塘月色》等，至今脍炙人口。因自清亭设于此
地，很多人误以为朱先生的《荷塘月色》即亦源于此地，其实不然。《荷塘月色》的“原址是在近春园环池的西北隅。现在近春园
东山建有“荷塘月色亭”以资纪念。

清华学堂
清华学堂在大礼堂大草坪的东南方，属于德国古典风格，是建校初期新建的首批校舍的主体建筑。总面积4650平方米。
1925年，学校在此设立“国学研究院”，著名的“四大导师”--梁启超、王国维、陈寅恪、赵元任等曾在此任教。

荷塘月色
朱自清笔下的《荷塘月色》所述的引人入胜的景色在近春园一带。
咸丰十年(1860年)，英法联军侵入北京，火烧圆明园，近春园内所有房屋被化为灰烬，沦为“荒岛”，前后达一百二十余
年。
1927年仲夏，朱自清教授感于世变，夜不成寐，夤夜走出家门到这一带散步，以其精妙的构思和生花之笔写下名文《荷
塘月色》。
“曲曲折折的荷塘上面，弥望的是田田的叶子。叶子出水很高，象亭亭的舞女的裙。层层的叶子中间，零星地点缀着些白花，
有袅娜地开着的，有羞涩地打着朵的；正如一粒粒的明珠， 又如天里的星星。微风过处，送来缕缕清香， 仿佛远处高楼上渺
茫的歌声似的。这时候叶子与花也有一丝的颤动，象闪电般，霎时传过荷 塘的那边去了。叶子本是肩并肩密密地挨着，这便
宛然有一了道凝碧的波痕。叶子底下是脉脉的流水，遮住了，不能见一些颜色；而叶子却更见风致了。
月光如流水一般，静静地泻在这一片叶子和花上。薄薄的青雾浮起在荷塘里。叶子和花仿佛在牛乳中洗过一样；又象笼着
轻纱的梦。虽然是满月，天上却有一层淡淡的云，所以不能朗照；但我以为这恰是到了好处－－酣眠固不可少，小睡也是别有
风味的。月光是隔了树照过来的，高处丛生的灌木，落下参差的斑驳的黑影；弯弯的杨柳的稀疏的倩影，象是画在荷叶上。塘
中的月色并不均匀；但光与影有着和谐的旋律，如梵婀玲上奏着的名曲。”

清华大学图书馆
图书馆由新馆和旧馆组成。旧馆始建于1916年4月，建成于1919年3月。新馆又叫逸夫馆,由香港邵逸夫先生捐资和国家教委
拨款兴建，清华大学关肇业院士设计。新馆与旧馆风格基本一致，浑然一体，又不失自身的时代感，新老图书馆一起成为校园中
心区最大的建筑。如何与原有建筑和谐共处，是每一个新建筑都面临的问题，清华大学图书馆新馆在这方面是成功的。这一建筑
入选上个世纪90年代北京十大建筑。

The Old Gate was built in 1909. In May of that year, the Qing dynasty government approved the application from the
Department of Foreign Affairs to establish a school in the suburbs of Beijing. Tsinghua Garden was chosen as the site for
the school. The Gate was the main entrance to the school campus at that time.At that time, the Gate was not only stately
and graceful, but also heavily guarded. In those years, underclassmen were not allowed to go beyond the gate without
permission from school authorities. In addition, for the sake of preserving the sanctity of the learning environment, people
not on official school business were forbidden to pass through the gate.
The Old Gate was demolished in 1960’s. Donated by Tsinghua University Alumni, it was rebuilt in 1991, following the
original design.

Located at the heart of the oldest area on Tsinghua campus is the imposing auditorium. Mixing Greek and Roman
architectural styles, the 1,200-seat auditorium has a rounded roof, a brass gate, and four large white marble columns. It
possesses few design embellishments; its magnificence is evident in its simplicity.
In its day, it was the largest auditorium of its kind at a university in China, and could seat the entire faculty, staff and student
body for school assemblies.

The building that houses the School of Science was built and put into use just before Tsinghua's 50th anniversary in 1961.
The Han Pavilion is one of the most attractive sights in the Jinchun Garden. It was built in memory of the outstanding
Tsinghua graduate and history professor Wu Han.

Construction of the new five-floor library was completed in 1991.
Historians believe that Jinchun Garden was the residence of emperor Xian Feng before he succeeded his father. And it is
believed to be the inspiration for the well known essay "The View of the Lotus Pond in the Moonlight," written by Zhu Ziqing.

Shui Mu Tsinghua, which means "clear water and trees surrounding Tsinghua," is one of the most captivating spots in
Tsinghua Yuan. Located near the rear gate of the I-shaped Hall, Shui Mu Tsinghua is often compared by Tsinghua students
to the Garden of Harmonious Interests in Beijing's famed Summer Palace. It is a "garden within a garden."
Shui Mu Tsinghua has many charms. Unusual rock formations abound, and a variety of trees, which change color from
season to season, encircle an expanse of calm, clear water. On the northern bank are two ancient, graceful pavilions. The
four Chinese characters "Shui Mu Tsing Hua" painted on the top of the main gate, were copied from an inscription by
Emperor Kang Xi.

Near the I-Shaped Hall, the Palace of the Ancient Moon stands alone as a secluded courtyard. Being 670 square meters
large, it was constructed in the second year of Emperor Dao Guang's reign. Originally it was the private study chamber of
the host. When the school was founded, it became a living quarters for the school staff, and noted scholars such as Prof.
Liang Qichao and Prof. Zhu Ziqing also lived there. In 1928, it was designated as a dormitory for the school's first group of
female students. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has housed the school's administrative offices.
