Shi Jing University was the highest institution of higher learning and the highest educational administrative organ in China at that time, so many scholars (such as Hu Shi, Feng Youlan, Ji Xianlin, etc. ) It is believed that Peking University is the successor of China imperial academy (imperial academy, Guo Zi School) and the continuation of the ancient highest institution of higher learning in modern times, and even that the history of Peking University should be counted from imperial academy in Han Dynasty; On the other hand, Peking University was the first formally established university in modern China and an epoch-making pioneer of modern higher education in China. Therefore, there is a saying that "inheriting the orthodoxy of imperial college and establishing the ancestral court of university students".
19 12 on may 3rd, Shi Jing university was renamed as Peking University, and then it was named as "national", which was the first university named after "national" in the history of China.
In the history of education in China, Peking University is bound to leave a very deep impression. She gave birth to the earliest modern academic system in China, initiated the earliest university disciplines such as liberal arts, science, social science, agricultural science and medicine in China, and was also the founder of modern higher education in China.
20 18 is the 20th anniversary of the founding of Peking University. On May 4th, the State Post Bureau specially issued the cover of Peking University's 20th anniversary stamp, numbered JF- 126, with a face value of 1.2 yuan.
There were two original envelopes on the first day of this solicitation * * * Now these two envelopes are used as corresponding comments.
1.JF- 126 "Peking University120th Anniversary Celebration" postage stamp to commemorate the original site of Beijing Beach.
The main picture on the cover shows the West Gate of Peking University. The west gate of Peking University was the main entrance of yenching university before Peking University and yenching university merged into the new Peking University in 1952. It was built by yenching university alumni in 1926, so it is also called Alumni Gate.
The west gate faces east and west. It is a classical three-opening red painted palace gate building, only seven or eight meters high. Its style is simple, solemn and elegant, similar to the East Palace Gate of the Summer Palace, with a strong national style. There are two stone lions on both sides of the school gate.
Especially worth mentioning is the plaque about "Peking University". West Gate is the only main entrance of Yan Garden in yenching university Times. At that time, Mr. Cai Yuanpei's four-character plaque "yenching university" was hung in the middle of the gate. 1952, after Peking University moved into Yanyuan, the plaque of "Peking University" was placed in the middle of the door. The word "Peking University" was enlarged according to 1950, when President Mao Zedong inscribed the emblem of Peking University. The word "Peking University" in his book is vigorous and powerful, and its momentum is integrated with the red school gate. The plaque leans forward slightly, providing an extremely suitable angle for everyone to look forward and making people feel solemn. This is a place that people have to look up to, and its height will never be reached.
Peking University120th anniversary postage cover The main postage map includes Peking University and a LOGO, and the English description of120th anniversary, with face value of 1.2 yuan.
But what is the logo of this postage map design? It doesn't seem to be the new school emblem of Peking University. Because I remember that the emblem of Peking University should be the second picture designed by Mr. Lu Xun in August 19 17. Do you have any friends who know?
In the choice of postmark, the "Beijing Beach" postmark is selected as the postmark of the original site of Peking University.
Because the original site of Peking University, commonly known as "Red House of Peking University"-located at No.29, Shatan North Street (now May 4th Street), is one of the old school buildings in Peking University, formerly known as "Shi Jing University Hall". The address is in the east of Beijingshan Park, the north of May 4th Road and the west of China Art Museum. 1952, after Peking University moved, it was taken over by Beijing University of Political Science and Law (now renamed China University of Political Science and Law). Since then, the Red Mansion used to be the office building of National Cultural Heritage Administration, and now it is the Beijing New Culture Movement Memorial Hall.
A set of two commemorative stamps of J. 145 "Cai Yuanpei's Birthday120th Anniversary" issued by the State Post Bureau 1988, with 0.28 yuan for ordinary tickets for northeast houses and 0.02 yuan for electronic supplementary tickets, 2.7 yuan and 4.2 yuan, the amount is just right.
I chose J. 145 "Cai Yuanpei's Birthday120th Anniversary" commemorative stamp, because since the choice of the original site has been defined as the original site, it is best to choose the relevant people in the original site as far as possible in the choice of supplementary funds, and as the president of Peking University, Cai Yuanpei is the best choice personally.
Cai Yuanpei's contribution to China's education and culture is unparalleled in the modern history of China. As Dewey said, "Compare the presidents of universities all over the world, such as Oxford, Cambridge, Paris, Berlin, Harvard and Colombia. Many of these principals have made outstanding contributions in certain disciplines; " But as a president, I'm afraid no one can lead that university to play a turning point in a nation and an era except Cai Yuanpei. "
Before Cai Yuanpei came to Peking University, the teachers of Peking University were mostly senior bureaucrats, and the students were mostly young junior officials. The content of the professor includes traditional feudal culture and thoughts, such as loyalty to the monarch and Confucianism. 19 17, after Cai Yuanpei became the president of Peking University, he reorganized and reformed Peking University according to the modern university model of western countries. To this end, he went to Germany and France for many times to study philosophy, literature, aesthetics, psychology and cultural history, which laid the ideological and theoretical foundation for his thoughts and achieved brilliant results universally recognized, turning decay into magic.
After Cai Yuanpei established "freedom of thought and inclusiveness" as the only way for academic development, masters of various schools gathered in Peking University: Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu, Lu Xun, Hu Shi and Xu Beihong. They are all famous people in modern and contemporary disciplines in China.
In fact, before Cai Yuanpei was appointed president of Peking University on February 26th, 19 16, Peking University had been taught by American missionary Ding Shiliang and the first president of Peking University Yan Fu. However, Cai Yuanpei made great contributions to the development of Peking University, and later became a leading figure in China University. It can even be said that without Cai Yuanpei, there would be no Peking University today.
On the back of the souvenir cover is a brief introduction of Peking University.
It is worth mentioning that the landing seal is very clear, the position of the cover is not even pressed on the text (only a few millimeters away from the text), and the position of the landing seal looks very pleasing to the eye combined with the back. This coincidence, which is completely out of our control, is really surprising.
2. JF-126 "120 Peking University Founding Day" commemorates the original site of Peking University with postage.
1952, after the adjustment of colleges and universities in China, Peking University moved to Yanyuan, the former yenching university campus in the western suburbs, and the current address is located at No.5, Summer Palace Road, Haidian District.
The postmark of this letter is stamped with the postmark of "beijing beijing University" and the last postmark of "Beijing Beach", both of which meet the requirements. The two addresses span several decades in time, but if the two stars in the universe complement each other, * * * creates the brilliance of Peking University.
Under the choice of supplementary ticket, 1998- 1 1 "centennial of Peking University's founding" commemorative stamp was adopted, and the theme of the ticket matched the seal perfectly. Although 20 years have passed, the school's inheritance, concept and spirit remain unchanged.
In terms of postage, in addition to the original postage of 1.2 yuan, the replacement postage of 0.5 yuan, plus electronic subsidies of 2.5 yuan and * * * 4.2 yuan, are in line with the postage.
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the founding of Peking University/KLOC-0, and in conjunction with the issuance of JF-2 16 "The 20th anniversary of the founding of Peking University/KLOC-0" stamps, Beijing Post Bureau specially issued a commemorative stamp with relevant significance, which was beautifully designed and made the finishing touch for the whole original stamp.
This landing seal is not as lucky as the original seal on it, but it is normal. Fortunately, the landing stamp is still clearly covered.
Although the above two original envelopes are just two seemingly ordinary envelopes, we can find and dig out the history of Peking University 100 years from all kinds of information inside. This seemingly isolated university is the historical epitome of that era.
Personally, I think the real collection is not just like pig eight quit eating ginseng fruit, spending some money to collect things and then putting them on the shelves. The real collection is more about enjoying the process of "playing". Through this way of "playing", I learned a lot of relevant knowledge, which is the greatest pleasure of collection.
