University is a national institution of higher education, which provides comprehensive teaching and research conditions and authorizes the conferment of degrees. Nowadays, universities generally include a graduate school that can award master's and doctoral degrees, several professional colleges, and an undergraduate school that can award bachelor's degrees. Universities also include higher vocational colleges.
Universities are often compared to IvoryTower. IvoryTower, according to the ancient test, the wise and rich king Solomon of Israel wrote 65,438+0,005 poems, of which the song of songs is a love song. In the fifth song, the groom praised the bride like this: "... your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are near the gate of Bartrabbi in Heshbon, like a pool ... (... your neck is like an ivory tower; Your eyes are like a pool near the gate of Batnara in Heshbon ...)
Obviously, the "ivory tower" here is only used to describe the beautiful neck of the bride. Later, the word was gradually applied to all aspects of social life, mainly referring to "an isolated fantasy, a paradise to escape from real life, and an isolated place". In Chinese, the extended meaning of ivory tower mainly refers to "the metaphor of the small world of writers and artists who are divorced from real life".
