Nine Heavens True Dragon

Chapter 35 First impressions of B University
Today was the beginning of school at B University, so Gao Yuntian was woken up by the excited Yang Liu early in the morning, and dragged him to school.Xiaobai and Xiaojin were left to practice in the spirit gathering formation arranged by Gao Yuntian. After a period of study, Gao Yuntian was able to easily arrange some simple formations in the "Formation Summary".Because only Gao Yuntian can come up here, he is very relieved to keep Xiaobai and Xiaojin here.

Because the distance between Jiutian Building and University B is not very far, Yang Liu and Gao Yuntian walked slowly towards the school on foot.When I came to the campus, because it was still early, there were not many people on the campus, only a few people were doing morning exercises, so Gao Yuntian took Yang Liu to stroll around the campus of University B.

Because of the little celebrity accident yesterday, he hadn't had time to fully appreciate this famous campus in China.And the most famous thing on this campus is probably the Weiming Lake, so Gao Yuntian took Yangliu along the lakeside and slowly admired it.

Recalling the historical origin of Weiming Lake in my mind, I told Yang Liu while walking that the area around Weiming Lake was part of He Wangshen's Shuchun Garden during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.Shuchun Garden is one of the affiliated gardens of Yuanmingyuan, but there was not much to see in Shuchun Garden at that time, and most of the gardens were paddy fields.

In the 49th year of Qianlong (1784), Emperor Qianlong awarded Shuchun Garden to Heshen, and Shuchun Garden became Heshen's garden.Heshen built a large-scale construction project here, expanding the original rice fields and pools around the garden into lakes, and piled the excavated soil into hills and island pavilions to build a large garden landscape, which was known as the "No. [-] private garden in the capital" at that time. .

According to archives, there are 1003 houses and 357 verandas and pavilions in the park.There is a large lake in the garden (now the unnamed lake), and there is a stone boat in the water (the original of the unnamed stone boat).The stone boat was built in imitation of the scenery in the Yuanmingyuan, and the whole is no different from the royal garden.This was "overstepping the system" in the feudal dynasty, and he was guilty of beheading. He Shen dared to do this because he was deeply favored by Qianlong and had nothing to fear.After He Shen was confiscated, Shuchun Garden changed hands several times.In the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860), the British and French allied forces burned the Old Summer Palace. It was in this catastrophe that the buildings on the stone boat were completely destroyed, leaving only the lonely pedestal.

After Leighton Stuart became the president of Yanda University in 1919, after several investigations, he selected this ruined ancient garden site as the new school site.In 1921, he bought the land from Chen Shufan, the governor of Shaanxi. During the design and construction of the Yanda campus, the Yanda campus reorganized and repaired the old landscape of the Weiming Lake generation, and added new scenery, forming today’s Unnamed Lake Scenic Area.It is said that when naming Weiming Lake at that time, many candidate names were put forward, but none of them were very satisfactory. In the end, Mr. Qian Mu, a master of Chinese studies, made a final decision and called it "Weiming" directly.

From today's point of view, the empty Weiming Lake, coupled with the word "Weiming" given by Mr. Qian Mu, just reflects the state of mind pursued by intellectuals: indifferent to fame and fortune, tolerant without disputes.At the same time, the word "Wei Ming" also adds a layer of historical color to the symbolic meaning of Weiming Lake today, and it has been passed down as a good story. This is indeed God's will.

What is even more surprising is that there are four stone screens from the Qianlong period standing on the north bank of the Weiming Lake, with the inscription "Painted boats are flat on the flat shore, and the flying tower overlooks the shade of willows." "Changing rainbow shadows the center of the water", these four lines of poems were originally used to describe the scenic spot of "Jingjing Singing Qin" in Yuanmingyuan, and after twists and turns, they were placed here.

Although it is not specially made for Weiming Lake, it is a perfect match made in heaven to describe the beauty of the scenery around Weiming Lake very appropriately.

After telling the history of Weiming Lake, it is almost time for class, and there are more and more people doing morning exercises and morning reading around, and gradually a cultural atmosphere rises in the campus.Because Gao Yuntian and Yang Liu are not in the same major, Yang Liu is studying finance, but Gao Yuntian is studying philosophy, which is a big surprise, so Gao Yuntian sent Yang Liu to class first, and then walked slowly to the class where the philosophy department is located .

When he came to the place where the School of Philosophy was located, Gao Yuntian did not find the classroom he imagined, but a very old garden-style building, which made Gao Yuntian feel very fresh.There are corridors in the yard, a pavilion in the middle, and a small pool with a few lotus plants in it, and groups of goldfish play in it.

Walking along the corridor, you can always see a few students sitting together with books in their hands, reading or dazed, and some even found a comfortable place and fell asleep.Gao Yuntian thought to himself, it seems that he has chosen the right major in philosophy, these people are really free

As we continued to walk in, a young man in his 30s walked up to him, wearing glasses and looking very gentle.Seeing Gao Yuntian, he walked towards him.

"Student, are you a freshman in the Department of Philosophy? I'm Pan Yan, the instructor of freshmen." The young man said enthusiastically.

"Well, I'm Gao Yuntian, a freshman. Hello, Instructor Pan." Gao Yuntian replied politely.

"Well, student Gao Yuntian, actually. What? You are Gao Yuntian?" Pan Yan asked in surprise.

"Hehe, if there is no one else named Gao Yuntian in this school, then I think the one you are talking about is me." Gao Yuntian was also amused seeing the exaggerated expression of the instructor.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm so surprised. I've heard that the top scorer in the national college entrance examination, the genius student who got full marks is our freshman in philosophy. I didn't expect it to be you. I thought who was the person who got such a high score? Such a monster, I didn't expect it to be very ordinary, not as handsome as me." Pan Yan said jokingly.

"Hehe, I also think you are more handsome." Gao Yuntian saw that the instructor's words were funny, and there was no malice in his words, so he said it jokingly.

"Hehe, well, no kidding. Let me introduce our philosophy department to you. Our department is different from other colleges. I think you have discovered it. Our students are usually very free, and they can do whatever they want. Okay, philosophy, isn’t it just a personal view of the world? As long as you pass the final exam, you can arrange the rest of the time. There are no fixed class hours, and you can arrange it yourself, but you still have to participate in group activities, especially A celebrity like you can't be absent." Pan Yan introduced Gao Yuntian, and took Gao Yuntian to visit the entire School of Philosophy.

In the end, he exchanged mobile phone numbers with Gao Yuntian for the convenience of contacting, and left in a hurry, as if there was something urgent to deal with, without the awareness that an instructor should take care of the students conscientiously.Gao Yuntian was left wandering around in the huge garden alone.

After Gao Yuntian thought about it, there was nothing wrong with him. What he should learn was already in his head, so he came to the pool in the yard, watched the goldfish playing in the water to pass the time, and waited for Yang Liu to leave school.
