Class 1920 is one of the excellent graduation grades in Tsinghua University. Famous economists, chemists Zeng Zhaolun, Su Bentie, Zhao, botanist and political scientist Hsiao Kung chuan all came from this grade. /kloc-in the spring of 0/920, on the eve of Geng's graduation, we discussed making a souvenir for our alma mater. After repeated consultations, we decided on the sundial plan. It can be used as a reference for students to be punctual in class, and it also contains the meaning of cherishing yin, that is, an inch of time and an inch of gold.
Tsinghua University 20 1 1 Centennial Celebration, and the Pledging Ceremony of the Sundial Fund was also held at the Centennial Commemorative Meeting of Graduate Alumni. 1960 Alumni Zheng Zhijia read the donation proposal of the sundial fund. It is suggested that graduate students donate to set up a special fund for the construction of new sundial sculptures, which is mainly used for the construction and later maintenance of new sundial sculptures.
Tsinghua University staff once said in an interview on 20 1 1 that the old sundial would be put into the school history museum and replaced with the original copy. According to the staff, due to severe weathering and the fact that the old sundial has been repaired several times before, it is impossible to repair the old sundial now, so the school made this move.
The old sundial is not a legal "cultural relic", but it is a symbol of Tsinghua University. In order to protect the sundial, it is unrealistic to add fences and other measures. More people like to be near the sundial, and schools don't want to interfere. Although it will be placed in the school history museum, it will be open to the public after it is fully completed in the future, and everyone can still see it. Its cultural bearing role is still there.
