? What kind of university has won seven Nobel Prizes, eight prime ministers,/kloc-0 kings and 23 Supreme Court judges?
? Which college is the cradle of 10 1 Rhodes scholar, President of the United Nations General Assembly, President of the International Court of Justice, President of the World Bank and President of the Reserve Bank of Australia?
?
? The answer is the University of Sydney, which is known as "Oxford in the Southern Hemisphere". It is not only famous for its departure from the rankings, but also for its strength. Many inventions and scientific research achievements have benefited the world, from pacemaker, B-ultrasound, black box to CPAP ventilator, cochlear implant, vacuum glass and WIFI wireless network technology, which have become daily necessities for hundreds of millions of people in the world and made great contributions to world civilization. How can an institution of higher learning with such a thick history and such impressive achievements not be desirable? ?
?
The University of Sydney is a world-class research institution located in Sydney, Australia's largest city. Founded in 1850, it has unique architectural style and elegant environment. The original school building is well preserved so far, which is a model of western traditional architectural art and has been rated as the most beautiful campus in the world by world authorities for many times.
?
University is the soul of a city and a very charming scenery. This weekend, we meet again and walk into this 170-year-old University of Sydney, crossing the ancient architecture and humanities, and savoring this feast of culture and art ... The University of Sydney is known as "the first school in Australia", ranking 39th in the world, and is one of the best institutions of higher learning in the world. The University of Sydney has 65,438+07 colleges, more than 65,438+000 departments, 265,438+0 libraries, more than 70 research centers, eight campuses and many branches. At present, the University of Sydney has more than 50,000 students and has absorbed more than 8,000 international students from all over the world.

Whether you have gone to college or not is usually a sign of a person's education level. As a China native, I know more about the hardships and glory of mainland students entering universities. Although going to college does not represent a person's value and height, there is no doubt that a good university can provide a broader vision and better platform and resources. Who doesn't want to study in the best years of life, in a campus with a long history, beautiful architecture and many famous teachers, and who doesn't want to find a pure and safe college full of conscience and wisdom in the brilliant years of youth? Wan Li Road, but also thousands of books, if people do not have wisdom and vision, no matter how far away, it is just a barren city.
?
?
? Be worthy of time and yourself.
? With admiration, I walked into the university campus, which was praised by authoritative media as the most beautiful in the world, and found that there was no fence, no grand gate, only two ancient pillars, and no other signs could be seen. A completely open campus, a school where anyone can enter and leave freely, allows visitors to visit and take photos freely during school hours.
?
? Due to the epidemic, the University of Sydney has not officially opened, and the campus we came to is more quiet and peaceful. The first thing you see is a three-story Gothic spire building, which is as solemn, elegant and beautiful as the castles and palaces in Europe. This main teaching building is the famous Harry Potter building and the seat of the Harry Potter School of Magic.
?
?
The designer of this building is Edmund? Blackett, which belongs to Gothic style, has a rectangular main building with a square bell tower in the middle and a set of 54-inch row clocks. Pai Zhong is usually performed on Sundays and Tuesdays during the semester and before important ceremonies. The most spectacular parts of the main building are two auditoriums: the Great Hall which imitates Westminster Hall, and the McLaughlin Hall which used to be the library reading room. Both auditoriums have exquisite stained glass and sculpture decorations, as well as spectacular joist roofs. The building and tower were completed in 1862, and the materials used were sandstone produced locally in Sydney.
?
? The wall tiles made of sandstone in the Harry Potter building were painted with a magical color. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock, which has the advantages of sound insulation, moisture absorption, damage resistance, outdoor weathering resistance, insolubility in water, no moss formation and easy cleaning. It is a widely used building stone, such as Notre Dame de Paris, Louvre, British Palace and US Congress, all made of sandstone, which has remained intact for hundreds of years.
?
The huge lawn in front of the door and the patchwork wooden chairs are all British and the air is fresh. Standing anywhere in front of the Harry Potter building is beautiful and harmonious; The little boy is jumping on the grass. This is a picture. It's a good time for a girl to sit quietly on a bench with a book, and it's a love story for a couple to shoot a wedding dress on an ivy-covered wall. Standing in front of this building 100 years ago and looking around, I found that the surroundings were so dreamy and beautiful, all pictures.
?
Walking into this magnificent building is like walking into the story of Harry Potter, like a unique stone carving. The arched porch is shaded by trees, and from time to time several students are reading and studying in the corner. The Harry Potter building has a strong sense of film, and the details are impeccable from any angle. Red brick walls with green striped roofs are like being in a fantasy movie. Entering the gate, a sharp doorway shows us the same magical interior. The atrium of the square is surrounded by buildings, which are carefully cared for.
?
? The University of Sydney has been rated as the most beautiful campus in the world by many authoritative organizations in the world for several years. The reason for its listing is that the campus is surrounded by green space, and sandstone buildings listed as historical heritage stand side by side with modern advanced and complex buildings. The bustling central business district is close to the beautiful and charming Sydney beach, and a symphony of culture and scenery has been written.
?
The beauty of the campus did not attract many people to take wedding photos here. Today, when we were wandering around the campus, we met three couples taking wedding photos here.
?
In the corridor of the main building, there is a special wall with the logo of the University of Sydney and the English words of the University of Sydney on it, which is called the "graduation wall". Students from all over the world will take pictures in front of this wall after finishing their studies here.
?
? 1858 On February 27th, Queen Victoria granted the Royal Charter to the University of Sydney, making it equal to the British universities. The emblem of the University of Sydney consists of several parts. The upper third (heraldry called the "main belt") is the "walking lion" symbolizing the universities of England and Cambridge. In addition, a book symbolizing the opening of Oxford University was placed in the center of the school emblem. Below the coat of arms is a ribbon printed with the school motto. The ancient school buildings, superior conditions and good traditions have made the University of Sydney prosperous throughout the ages.
? The motto of the University of Sydney is very philosophical: the stars change vertically, and wisdom lasts forever.
?
? Because of the epidemic, the school hasn't started yet, and the campus seems very quiet. There are only various birds basking in the sun on the lawn, and there are also tourists in twos and threes who are deeply attracted by this group of ancient Gothic buildings like us. Come to the huge lawn in front of the main building, the autumn wind blows gently and the sunshine is just right. Only youth and beautiful scenery can be worthy: I quickly grabbed the tail of youth and picked up the book. My sister in the middle actually read my book "Adding fragrance to tea". Hehe, my poverty is found on the campus of the University of Sydney. Is it a little high?
?
Classical architecture, like churches, is rich in humanities and profound in knowledge, and many classrooms and halls are open. How lucky it is to have classes with students from all over the world and feel the teaching mode and classroom atmosphere of world famous schools in the academic castle where elites gather.
?
? There are many sandstone buildings in the University of Sydney, including the Nicholson Museum, which contains many precious cultural relics of ancient Egypt, ancient Greece and Rome, including many world-class treasures. There are also many prestigious museums, which are open to the public all year round and free to visit. Walking into a classroom at random, I found that the teaching building is not only antique in appearance, but also exquisite in interior decoration. The dome of the promenade is curved, with many reliefs on it, and the stained glass windows in the stairwell and classroom are as exquisite as those in the church. The content of enamel glass painting is very rich. Besides biblical figures, there are also historical figures and events. There are some stone carvings on the handrails and corners of the corridor, all of which are auspicious animals and monsters. There must be something hidden in it, which is worth savoring.
?
? Some students have very simple classrooms. Rows of wooden benches and tables exude bright colors. Sunlight shines through the embossed glass on the window, and there is a sense of crossing during the visit. There are three kinds of time, and the future is long overdue. Now it flies like an arrow, and the past will never stand still.
?
?
Some classrooms are full of modern atmosphere, multimedia electronic equipment is readily available, and stepped tables and chairs are arranged in turn. Here, students listen to the inheritance and teachings of professors and masters, the inspiration of generate wisdom and the sweat of youth. Here, they recorded their efforts, witnessed their firm determination, met their sincere love and let go of their purest dreams. I believe that after years of tempering, the young talents of the future are fearless and the world is full of hope because of them.
?
? Each department of the University of Sydney has its own computer room. As long as students remember their unikey, they can check their curriculum, print the course content and consult the literature by computer. The layout of the computer room is also very user-friendly, with many floor mats or large sofabeds. Students can sit on the sofa bed in different forms, listen to music, read books and review.
?
The library of this university has nurtured countless scholars and elites, which can be said to be indispensable. The library system of the University of Sydney consists of a general library, Fisher Library and 65,438+04 sub-libraries, among which Fisher Library is the largest university library in the southern hemisphere, with four floors and an area of 53,000 square meters. Its internal facilities are quite complete and open 24 hours, which is convenient for students to burn the midnight oil. There is also a vending machine, kitchenette and microwave oven on each floor, which is convenient for students to eat here. More interestingly, considering that students are inevitably sleepy after attending classes or studying all morning, the school also has a sleeping cabin on the second floor, so everyone can sleep for a while for free.
?
? The University of Sydney Library is so high that it is not only open to the public, but anyone inside and outside the school can read and consult materials for free, and anyone can apply for a library card. In addition to the library, the University of Sydney has many museums on campus, including the Nicholson Museum, the Mackley Museum and the University Art Gallery, which are open to the public all the year round and can be visited for free.
?
?
? Shuttling through this university campus, which combines culture and exquisite architecture, seems to be back to the medieval castle. We were attracted by an ancient college and saw towering old trees and greens, mossy stone benches and mythical buildings around. There are "secret gardens" full of green, and some terraced classrooms are soaked with traces of time; The creaking stairs in the building, the ancient tables, chairs and benches, and the classrooms and examination rooms that reveal the historical atmosphere seem to be a completely different world after opening the door.
?
? The University of Sydney also has a unique place, that is, the graffiti passage. There are often students painting there to their heart's content. In a short paragraph, there are unbridled artistic traces of several generations of students. Layers of spray-painted patterns, emotional exaggeration, publicity of personal thoughts and unruly venting are not only the impact of art, but also a recognition of school culture. As if to say to the world: this is USYD!
?
? In the corner of the main building courtyard, there is an 88-year-old jacaranda tree. Unfortunately, this 88-year-old jacaranda with a height of 18 was uprooted in a storm in 20 16. Fortunately, the University of Sydney cloned Jacaranda, which is called the "test tree". In 2065, in 438+07, the flame of Jacaranda "Cologne" appeared on the campus of the University of Sydney. One is red and the other is purple. From the beginning of October and the arrival of summer, everyone can see a piece of red and purple, competing for beauty.
?
?
We walked slowly, discussing and admiring new or old buildings. The University of Sydney has ten faculties of literature, law, economics, engineering, medicine and science, as well as many research institutes and research centers. The main campus we visited covers an area of 72 hectares, in addition to nine branch schools. It is difficult to measure the whole campus at one time with only one foot, and it is impossible to deeply interpret a 170-year-old college only once. Today is my third visit to the University of Sydney, and I still feel so strange and kind, familiar and strange, feeling the silence and tranquility emanating from the empty campus all the way, and feeling the unique sacredness of the University. In simplicity and grandeur, it tells the history of the University of Sydney 170 years.
?
Today, when we go out, the weather forecast is cloudy. Most of the time, the sky in Sydney looks like it has been processed by Photoshop. The blue is exquisite, the white is transparent, and the beauty is so unreal. If someone praises the sky of a place with "Today's sky is very Sydney", it should also be super beautiful. Fortunately, in today's sky, the clouds are floating around for a while, and the sun is shining and gloomy for a while. Walking around the picturesque campus of the University of Sydney is a pleasure, and it is even more fortunate to be able to study and study in the most beautiful places. The famous University of Sydney is the dream place of countless students. Unfortunately, those of us who were born in the 1950s and 1960s, in those special times, suffered the bitterness of life, and passed by the temple of knowledge, which became an eternal regret.
?
? The University of Sydney, one of the eight famous universities in Australia, is the best choice for many students. The youth that we can't start over is gone forever. We can only sit on the grass or take a look at reading on the stone steps of the promenade to comfort our hearts full of envy and regret. It is a kind of happiness to swim in the corridor of architectural art and use the WIFI wireless network technology invented by teachers and students of this university to connect freely with the world. The wisdom and inventions of these scholars have become the necessities of life for hundreds of millions of people in the world, and they have also made indelible contributions to world civilization, and their hearts are full of gratitude to them. There is a corridor between buildings. It is a beautiful and romantic time to sit at such an ancient and elegant door, reading, listening to music and chatting.
?
Almost all students studying in the University of Sydney are looking forward to their graduation ceremony, which is not only an important symbol of academic completion, but also an important turning point in society. The hall where the graduation ceremony is held is like a church. It was built on the basis of the famous Westminster Abbey in London. It is 4 1 meter long and 41meter wide, with a maximum clearance of 22 meters. Portraits of the President of the University of Sydney and some celebrities are hung around the Great Hall. The whole hall is full of religious sacredness, which makes people pay tribute to nature and science.
?
? The University of Sydney is a university with both strength and value, and its LOGO is very royal. The ceremony officially began, and everyone stood up. Under the solemn music, school leaders and academic authorities slowly entered the venue on the red carpet and took their seats on the rostrum. One of them is holding a cone-shaped thing in his hand, which is the treasure of the University of Sydney-the scepter, and solemnly puts it across the bracket on the table.
?
The scepter is the treasure of the town hall awarded by Queen Victoria of England through the Governor of New South Wales in 1854, and it is a symbol of the power of the school Senate. It consists of a silver crown inlaid with a whole piece of original gold gem, decorated with royal heraldry and roses. And there is a motto engraved in English: let teaching enhance virtue. The scepter will only be given when the school holds a major event.
?
?
? After the graduates attending the graduation ceremony were seated in the front row, the master of ceremonies asked everyone to stand up and welcome the principal and members of the school Committee. The organ played a sweet sound, and the team filed in from outside the door. First, two people were holding wands, then the members of the school committee, and finally the headmaster. They were all wearing robes and smiling. After the president's short speech, all the graduates came to the stage in the order of doctor, master and bachelor, took the certificate from the president, shook hands with him and accepted his good wishes, and thunderous applause rang out around them. Finally, a professor with special academic honor was crowned and delivered his acceptance speech.
?
?
Among the graduates here are Nobel Prize winners, prime ministers, kings and business tycoons. Year after year, the graduates of the University of Sydney flow like a river, and together they create the brilliance and glory of their alma mater.
?
? When the music of Ode to Joy sounded, the headmaster and members of the school committee left first, followed by the graduates. The bell of the bell tower is slow and steady and resounds through the University of Sydney. Pedestrians automatically stop and pay attention to the graduating team. At this moment, the power of education spans everything and lasts as long as that bell. The whole activity lasted nearly two hours.
?
? With the development of society, people's horizons are getting wider and wider, and more and more young people choose to study abroad to enrich their knowledge. At the University of Sydney, we walked through the vast and primitive natural scenery, came to the clear and blue lakeside garden, watched pigeons stroll, watched wild ducks swim in the lake, strolled through the antique campus, and wandered around the world's top universities where elites gathered. This is really an excellent experience and the ultimate feast of culture and scenery.
?
The towering old trees and green trees are like a blue bond, which skillfully connects all colleges together. Classic buildings with a long history abound, with solemn classrooms and main buildings covered with green vines standing among green trees and red flowers. The architectural styles of each college have their own characteristics, and the perfect combination of classical and modern shows far-reaching cultural heritage and development and innovation.
?
?
There are colorful flowers in the aisles on both sides of the building, and pink petals fall to the ground, which is fascinating. Women are like flowers and dreams. They always look at flowers with difficulty, longing for the romantic feeling of indulging in flowers. Sister Anna sits on the floor, with a bright smile between petals. People are more charming than flowers.
?
? This is my third visit to the University of Sydney. Every time, I will stand in front of the Harry Potter building and look up at the flowers blown by the wind, and the white clouds in the blue sky are changing. At that moment, I understood: One flower and one world, heart for heaven. Looking around, the whole University of Sydney is lying leisurely in an English village, unable to tell where the city is and where the university is. No wonder, the University of Sydney is known as a city among universities and a university within a city. Wandering in the history and culture accumulated for hundreds of years, we can appreciate the charm of Gothic ancient buildings and feel the legend of the development of the University of Sydney ... openness, tolerance and freedom.
?
Perhaps it is in this open and free atmosphere that the University of Sydney has grown into a world-famous school. The ancient school buildings, superior conditions and good traditions have also made the University of Sydney prosperous throughout the ages.
?
A quiet lake separates the college from the city. Sitting by the lake, watching seagulls fly by, the lights of tall buildings in the distance are mixed with the fragrance of cafes, and the endless traffic pushes a real world to our eyes: inside the door, it is the simplicity of the Middle Ages, while outside the door, it is the prosperity of the new world. Just like a cycle of a century, one step is a thousand years.
?
Perhaps, it is in such years that human beings are making progress day by day and society is prospering step by step. Looking back at the low-key emblem of the University of Sydney and the gate without walls, we realize that the greatness of the university lies not in the architecture, but in the masters.
? We are walking, strolling, searching and thinking in just visiting: What is culture, what is innovation and what is inheritance? What is wisdom, truth and eternity?
?
Knowledge is a beam of light that brings warmth and strength to people.
? Long life, I hope to have years to look back and books to accompany me.
