The school has trained many excellent students, including jonathan swift, the author of Gulliver's Travels, Oscar Wilde, a famous poet and playwright, samuel beckett, the author of Waiting for Godot, Douglas Hyde, the first Irish President, and Hillary Clinton, the former US Secretary of State. Walking slowly on the cobblestone path, I feel a heavy sense of history and imagine the way for those masters and writers to study.
Trinity College's "the best in the world" must be visited-that is, the Trinity Library, which is called "the most beautiful library in the world". The library is the most iconic building of the college and the essence of the college's humanistic spirit, attracting tourists and students from all over the world to visit.
The overall appearance of the library is grand and solemn. Standing in front of the building, I was fascinated by the magic of the huge bookcase in front of me.
In the exhibition hall on the first floor of Trinity Library, there is an Irish national treasure-The Book of kells (translated as The Book of kells), which was hand-painted on kraft paper by Scottish monks in the 9th century. This book originated from the golden age of church development in the early Middle Ages and consists of four classic works, including two written books and two picture books, describing the development of religion, culture, art and society at that time. For example, the picture of Jesus in the book is the image of red hair, which is the embodiment of the development, integration and change of religious culture in different regions and periods. This book is written in Latin and is over 600 pages long. It is estimated that 185 calf leather is needed. A large number of color illustrations drawn with natural dyes are very clear and bright even in the hanging pictures magnified by a hundred times. The spread and experience of Confucian classics are extremely bumpy. So far, about 60 pages have been lost, but the existing parts are still extremely simple and exquisite. In the exhibition hall on the first floor, the library will display the text book of 1 and the picture book of 1, collect the protection fee, and turn pages every few days. Up to now, more than 654.38+million tourists have visited, including literary scholars and politicians from all over the world, but tourists are not allowed to take photos and videos during the visit. Huahua quietly feels the sacredness of this perfect handwritten masterpiece here.

The librarian's room on the second floor of the Trinity Library is the most shocking and magical subject of the library. The 65-meter-long, two-story-high hollow library has huge antique oak bookshelves on both sides, and the dome roof has a solemn atmosphere. The overall color is based on wood black, brown, red and gold, showing an unreal sense of magic. Seeing this scene, Huahua can understand why Harry Potter and the Jedi Archives regards it as an important scene design concept of the film.
The library has a collection of 200,000 books, including a large number of ancient national treasures, which are often borrowed by classrooms and students of the college. There are 14 busts of world famous thinkers, philosophers and writers on both sides of the long hall, including Plato, Socrates, university alumnus Johnson Swift and other celebrities.
The bookshelf is very high. There are wooden ladders in front of the bookshelves, and there is a beautiful staircase in front of one of the bookshelves. According to the tour guide, Gao proposed to shoot in front of this staircase during his visit. Has anyone seen it on Xiao Shuo or other programs?
