The news that the "Yamagata" school gate, which has accompanied Shandong University for 20 years and witnessed a batch of graduates moving from here to home and abroad, was demolished a few days ago has aroused extensive public discussion here.

2 1 morning, the reporter saw at the south gate of Shanda Central Campus that the "mountain" gate and square, known as the landmark building of the century-old Shanda, had been surrounded, an excavator was working in the center of the square, and more than a dozen construction workers were busy. The reception room at the gate was empty, and some scraps of paper and wires were scattered on the ground.

It is understood that the "Yamagata" school gate was built in 1990, which was built by Shanda to welcome the 90th anniversary. The school gate embodies the meaning of "one mountain, one water and one saint" in Qilu culture. At the same time, it also reflected some mathematical thoughts of Pan Chengdong, the president of Shanda University. The whole gate is asymmetrical, like a 45-degree and 30-degree triangular ruler. Today, the "Yamagata" school gate has gone through more than 20 years, and it also widely appears in printed materials such as Shanda's admission notice and graduation commemorative book.

Wang Yuming, a citizen, thinks, "As an institution with a long history, grand inheritance is very important. If you keep changing, which face will you leave for future generations? " This door has rich symbolic significance. While depicting the word "mountain", there are also mathematical elements symbolizing science. It is also like an ancient pyramid, giving people a sense of historical vicissitudes ... "

However, Chen Liang, a college student in Shanshan, said that the design of the "mountain-shaped" school gate is not atmospheric enough, and the change of the school gate is the embodiment of the continuous development process of the school, which should be given new ideas and connotations.

In this regard, the explanation given by Shanda is: the school gate adopts the technology of cement-bonded marble slab, and the hidden danger of marble slab falling off is serious, and it has fallen off many times; The cultural atmosphere of Shanda is not in harmony with the architectural style of the central campus. The narrow space in front of the door is easy to cause traffic congestion.

The reporter saw from the renderings of the new school gate of Shanda that the new school gate is located on the central axis of the campus on the south side of the South Square, and an encircling Little Square has been formed in front of the new school gate. Compared with the previous "gable" gate, the space in front of the gate has been greatly liberated. The steel frames on both sides welcome teachers and students from all corners of the country like open arms, highlighting the design concept of "hug". It is reported that the height of the main towers on both sides is 1 1 m, which echoes the theme of 1 10 anniversary of the founding of Shanda University. (
