Tsinghua University's nickname is Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College.
Because she is located in Wudaokou area. The origin of Wudaokou place name is because it is the fifth intersection of Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway (the famous Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway built by Zhan Tianyou) from Beijing North Railway Station, so it is called Wudaokou, followed by Sidaokou and in front of Liudaokou.

School emblem and school name:
Tsinghua University's school emblem is a round face composed of three concentric circles. The outer ring is the Chinese school name (traditional) and the founding date, the central ring is the school motto, and the center is the five-pointed star. The prototype of the school emblem originated from the military flag of Tsinghua University Military Training Camp. The badge is a rectangular badge with the horizontal Chinese name of the school printed on it.
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 literature and philosophy in China, Tsinghua University. To make the school song meaningful, he wrote it 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.
