Interpretation of the lyrics of Tsinghua University's school songs
Sun maoxin
At the beginning of the school, a school song with English lyrics was written by a foreign teacher, but the lyrics and songs were not satisfactory. Mr. He Lin wrote in Tsinghua Weekly on 1925: "I don't think Tsinghua's English school song can represent the spirit of Tsinghua, let alone the spirit of China culture. After careful consideration, it turned out that this song was written by an American lady, and I suddenly realized that this song originally represented a very naive Americanization. ..... and this Americanization is not what we need. "
It is in this context that around 1923, the school publicly collected school songs, and the lyrics applied by Teacher Wang Luanxiang were selected by celebrities inside and outside the school. At that time, Mr. Wang was a teacher of Chinese and philosophy in our school. In order to make the lyrics meaningful, he wrote them in classical Chinese. The three lyrics are magnificent and profound. Mr. He Lin believes that this school song is the crystallization of China's excellent traditional culture and "can express the spirit of China culture. At the same time, it can meet the school motto and achieve the goal of educating people in Tsinghua. And the wording of the school song is quite decent, ... and everyone feels that they appreciate this song. " He formally proposed to cancel the English school song at that time and replace it with Mr. Wang's Chinese school song.
There are also disadvantages in using classical Chinese as lyrics. This is one of the allusions, the meaning of which is difficult for many people to see at a glance. As Mr. He Lin said, some students "sang without examining their meaning, and sang without studying their purpose." So, in the autumn of 1925, Mr. Wang Yunxiang published "The True Meaning of China School Songs in Tsinghua" in Tsinghua Weekly, and analyzed the school songs paragraph by paragraph. In the same year, Mr. He Lin (then a student at the Fashion School) also published The Truth of China School Songs in Tsinghua in Tsinghua Weekly.
After the Book of Righteousness, in addition to the contents mentioned above, it also discusses the meaning of "the instrument is a prophet and the text is a follower". Now, according to the way pointed out by two old-timers, from the present point of view, in today's language, try to interpret the difficult parts of the lyrics of the old school songs as follows:
the first paragraph
The western hills are grey/the East China Sea is vast/our school is solemn/majestic. The center point is about its geographical position. The "West Mountain" and the "East Sea" here are both geographically speaking, that is, "the mountains are in the west and the sea is in the east".
Datong/the motherland shines brightly
It is said that the ideal of this school is to make the motherland realize a harmonious society. "Datong" from The Book of Rites and Li Yun is an ideal society put forward by Confucianism, as opposed to "well-off". Later generations often use "Great Harmony in the World" to express an ideal society that eliminates the differences in economic and political status between people. Mr. Kang Youwei once wrote Datong Book, expounding his utopian socialist viewpoint based on bourgeois theory of human nature. "Ji" and "Ji" both mean to achieve, and "Ji" also means to fly over.
Meaning.
The spring breeze brought rain and joy to Weiyang.
Spring breeze melts rain, good education. This sentence is very interesting in a good educational environment. "Weiyang": There is no deposit.
If you are healthy, you must stand on your own feet.
From "Yi Chuan Gan Xiang", "Heaven is strong, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement". It means: a gentleman should imitate the inevitability of the operation of heaven, work hard and never stop.
The second paragraph
Left picture right view/Ye Weijiawei
This sentence praised the complete teaching facilities in our school, especially the library, which provided a good learning and research environment for students. "Left picture and right history": people are in the study, surrounded by books. "The Biography of Yang Wan in the New Tang Dynasty" "(Yang Wan) is calm (quiet), living alone in one room, a historical scroll, full of dust, and seems (quiet)." "Ye Jia": that is, Ye Jia. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Mi, a wealthy family with books, once sealed the Duke of Zhou Ye. Later generations praised other people's books with "Ye Jia", and the school song praised the richness of the school's books.
Exploration of understanding truth and learning ancient times
"Knowledge" and "poverty" are terms of China's ancient epistemology, which are often used together with "Wu Ge" to explore the inner essence of things. Tsinghua students study hard at school, learn the legacy of their predecessors and explore the unknown world.
Combination of the old and the new/all roads lead to the same goal
Corresponding to the first paragraph of "East and West cultures/gathering together", the first paragraph is about "East and West", and this paragraph is about "old and new", that is, "ancient and modern". Tsinghua's traditional academic philosophy is to "integrate the East and the West, the ancient and the modern". Mr. Wang Luanxiang called this the "element" contained in the school song. Learning ancient culture serves the present, so it is said that "all roads lead to the same goal." Now students in Tsinghua should learn the essence of ancient China culture, inherit the excellent national traditions of their ancestors and serve the socialist modernization in China.
Cai Renyi/Wen De fattens up.
Vegetable core, good meal. "Yao" refers to meat dishes, and "nuclear" refers to fruits. Know the true meaning of things by "smelling the Tao" Confucius said, "Listen to the Tao in the morning and die in the evening", and the pursuit of truth is more precious than life. This sentence regards learning the fine traditions of ancient China as a wonderful spiritual enjoyment, which enriches our hearts day by day.
Do not violate obedience and kindness.
Obey, remember. The Book of Rites The Doctrine of the Mean: "If you get a good deed, you lose a punch."
The sea can humble itself, and many waters return.
Ren Wei Cao Zhi's "When you want to travel to Nanshan" says that "the East China Sea is wide and deep, from humble to hundred rivers", which means that the East China Sea is deep, and because of its low terrain, it can accommodate hundreds of rivers. Ancient Chinese often used this to praise the humble character. "Lao Tzu's Sixty-six Chapters" has: "Jianghai can be the king of all the valleys, but learn from it"; "Guanzi Situation Solution" has: "The sea does not hesitate to water, so it can become big"; "Zhuangzi Zeyang" has: "Rivers and hydration are great"; Li Si, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty, wrote in the book "Persuasion and Expulsion": "Rivers and seas do not choose trickle, so they can be deep"; "Xunzi's exhortation to learn" says: "If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become a river." These all illustrate the dialectics among size, competition and depth with the relationship between majestic rivers and trickle. The school song uses this sentence to encourage Tsinghua students to be modest and have a sea-like mind. Only in this way can "knowledge be solid and bright".
The third paragraph
Know first/follow literature and art
Instrumental knowledge: measurement and knowledge refer to people's inner cultivation and spiritual realm; Literature and art: knowledge of writing and skills of using words. There is an idea in Biography of Pei Xingjian, a Book of the New Tang Dynasty that "a scholar should learn the source, instrument first, and then literature and art", which is a step for the ancient intellectuals in China to cultivate their morality and cultivate their character in order to learn. The ancients first valued the measurement and knowledge of being a man, and cultivated great wisdom and courage, reaching the realm of "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, powerful people can't be bent", "don't be happy with things, don't be sad for themselves", and "worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joy of the world later". As for "literature and art", it is only the tail. This view of the ancients has great practical significance. Today's so-called "literature and art" is no longer like the writing style of the ancients, but should refer to intelligence limited to one aspect. Mr. He Lin wrote in the article: "Nowadays, most young people are as smart as beans. They like to make a small splash with their talents and skills, and they have never cultivated their knowledge." And my classmates in Tsinghua (including me, of course) have long had the root of narrow-mindedness, which has not been removed so far ... and the word' knowledge first' in the school song is a good medicine to cure the symptoms, which has taught us a great lesson ... "... Our school has long insisted on" putting moral education first "and encouraged students to participate in social practice in order to" see the world, grow their talents and make contributions ".
Lide makes a point/doesn't ask questions.
According to Zuo Zhuan's Twenty-four Years of "xianggong", Mu Shu and Zi Xuan discussed what the ancients called "death and immortality". Mushu believes that a distinguished family can't be called immortality. "Dazhong has virtue, followed by merit, followed by words. Although it will not be abolished for a long time, this is called immortality. " This sentence in the school song expresses the pride of the students in this school who have made immortal achievements in their respective disciplines. "Don't ask about western learning" here means that Lide advocates going beyond the traditional learning of the East and the West and achieving world-class results, which is what we call "creating world-class" today.
Who introduced the advantages of our school/treated all colleagues equally/gale?
This sentence is about the academic democracy of the school. "Introduction" here means "introduction" and "introduction", and "Shi" is a pronoun, that is, "this". Associated with the above sentence, who integrated the knowledge of ancient and modern China and the West and made a statement on this basis? This is our school. The reason why we can make such a contribution is because our school has a "strong wind" that treats all schools and viewpoints equally, which is today's so-called "relaxed academic environment".
Zhong Xiuzhong, Tsinghua, Shui Mu
Show, top talent; Bells, love, yearning. Our school's complete disciplines, fine traditions, good study style, excellent learning environment and democratic academic atmosphere have attracted a large number of talents and become a place that the vast number of aspiring young people love and yearn for.
Be loyal to an arrow.
This sentence is about the feelings of Tsinghua students and alumni towards their alma mater. Sincerity and honesty also refer to a simple heart. Vector is loyalty, unchanging loyalty. Qu Yuan asked Zheng Zhanyin in the Songs of the South: "I would like to express my gratitude to Park Yi-chung and give it to Lawrence for an endless call?" Would I rather remain sincere and loyal, or be exhausted in an endless world? Qu Yuan's loyalty remains unchanged, and so do Tsinghua students and alumni.
He Hewu's school name has no dome.
A dome, a canopy. In ancient China, Gaitian said that the sky was shaped like a hat and a dome. There is no vault and infinity, but it is more vivid.
After the birth of Tsinghua University's old school songs in the 1920s, a number of songs have been sung in various historical periods. After the "Cultural Revolution", classes resumed, and the school art education department also collected new school songs. But so far, no song has been recognized by everyone and can be used as the school song of Tsinghua University. In contrast, Tsinghua University's old school songs have remained fascinating after 78 years of cold and heat. On the occasion of our school's 90th birthday, we will arrange the old school songs into a simple score and publish them again, hoping to spread them among our teachers and students and appreciate our history and traditions. The tune of this song is also very distinctive, steady and firm, sacred and solemn, which is intrinsically related to the history and characteristics of the school. The composer, Ms. Zhang Huizhen, was the wife of Mr. Ren Lin, the head of English copywriting department in our school at that time. Originally, the column titled Composer was "First Lady Lin He", which was not in line with today's language habits and was too old-fashioned, so it was changed.
I hope that the old school song can become the clarion call for the school to March into a world-class university.
