Liu Xiaoliu chapter 133

? Different from ancient buildings, at that time, electric light was still a luxury of the elite, and few people knew about reinforced concrete. However, the school building of Yanda University has beautiful cornices and gorgeous color patterns, while the main structure is completely reinforced concrete with modern lighting, heating and piping facilities. The campus is equipped with generators, water towers and boiler rooms. There is also the stone carving of the fish wandering from Yuanmingyuan on the unnamed lake. A clock pavilion was set up on its west side, and an ancient temple clock with clear timbre was placed to ring the time on campus.

Rock fish with curly tail

? This western upturned stone fish is carved with fine yellow-brown stones, as shown in the figure. The fish is 165 cm long, 87 cm high, 90 cm wide in the lower abdomen and 42 cm wide in the upper mouth. At its peak, this kind of fish is located in the middle of a large Haitang fountain in the south of Harmony Building in Changchun Garden of Yuanmingyuan, with a water column in its mouth, which can rise more than ten meters. In troubled times, Yuanmingyuan was also reduced to ruins, and precious cultural relics were lost. Stone fish was sold several times, and was later bought by the owner of "Longrun Garden", that is, Uncle Zai Tao, who loves riding bicycles and encourages the emperor to saw the threshold. This "uncle" is also a graduate of yenching university 1930 class. After graduation, he took this stone fish to his alma mater as a souvenir. Since then, the stone fish has settled in the unnamed lake.

? Because of the solid, practical and beautiful design of the "Old Four" Yanyuan Garden, almost all the buildings are well preserved so far, so you can visit them at any time, just briefly.

West gate

? Yenching university West Gate is the main entrance facing east and west, also known as Alumni Gate. It is a classical three-opening red painted palace gate building with simple, solemn and elegant style. It is similar to the East Palace Gate of the Summer Palace. The near is the starting point of Yanyuan Garden, and the far is the starting point of Yuquan Tower, which is coaxial with the east and west.

West school gate, the house number is Loudouqiao 1. The "dry old" we mentioned earlier missed people's rice, and this "building bridge" was built. 1926 when the west gate was built, the railing on the bridge outside the gate and the sign engraved with the words "Loudou Bridge" were still there. By the time I visited this place when I was young, the bridge had already disappeared, and this river was often called "Xijiang River". In the Qing Dynasty, it was called "Xigou", as evidenced by poems.

Xigou Bridge rose at the beginning of last month, and the water in Xigou Bridge is very clear.

The jade cloister is gone, and tourists also want home lights.

Look at the clear water, clear water, what clear water. It seems that the location of the West Gate is really "infinite scenery".
