In the early Qing Dynasty, the area around Tsinghua University I-shaped Hall and Yichunyuan was called Xichunyuan. This garden is for his fifth son Yi, and Emperor Xianfeng gave it to him.

It is called Tsinghua Campus, also known as "Xiaowuye Garden". As early as Ming Shenzong, Zongshen's grandfather Li Wei's garden was called Tsinghua Campus. The word "Tsinghua" came from this.

(smalt Note: It should be named after Shuiqingmu Garden named after Cixi, right? )

1900, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, and the Qing government signed the Treaty of Shame and Ugliness with eleven countries, humiliating the country and losing 450 million yuan. Among them, the share of the United States exceeds 32 million. 1904, after negotiation, the U.S government decided to "return" a part of the compensation to China on a monthly basis from 1909 to 1940, and designated it for cultural and educational undertakings. From 65438 to 0929, the Qing government set up the Tourism Aesthetics Department in Beijing and sent four groups of students to study in the United States. 1911On April 26th, Tsinghua University was formally established, and all school-running methods were implemented with reference to American schools.

After the Revolution of 1911, Tsinghua University was renamed Tsinghua School. 1925 set up an undergraduate department to recruit four-year junior college students. 1928, the Kuomintang government took over Tsinghua University and renamed it "National Tsinghua University". The old system ended in the second year, completing the transition from preparatory school to university.

Tsinghua University in old China, after all, was built on the land of China, and teachers and students grew up among the people of China. The suffering of the nation and the people's anti-imperialist and patriotic struggle promoted their awakening. Teachers and students reflect the patriotic enthusiasm of the people of China. Therefore, Tsinghua University is a school with a glorious revolutionary tradition.

Before liberation, Tsinghua University teachers and students fought bravely against imperialism, Beiyang warlords and Kuomintang reactionaries. They took an active part in the May 4th Movement and the March 18th anti-imperialist patriotic demonstration. 1935 when the national disaster intensified, Tsinghua people exclaimed: "North China is too big for a quiet desk!" The epoch-making "December 9th" Anti-Japanese National Salvation Movement broke out, and Tsinghua students became a major force in China student movement at that time. Professor Wen Yiduo's spirit of "getting angry" and Professor Zhu Ziqing's spirit of "starving to death and not receiving American relief food" were told by later generations. Their statues, "Wen Ting" and "Qing Zi Pavilion" were all built on the hillside of Tsinghua campus.

After the founding of New China, in order to meet the needs of socialist construction, in accordance with the instructions of the CPC Central Committee, Tsinghua University adjusted its departments at 1952, and built dozens of buildings such as Chengzhai, Lizhai and Qiangzhai. In 1960s, the central main building was built. Since 1970s, it has mainly built staff dormitories. After decades of construction, Tsinghua University has become a comprehensive engineering university, which has trained a batch of talents for the motherland.
