Tsinghua University's welcome banner had a typo, replacing "lie" with "lie". What kind of joke did Peking University make?

Tsinghua University and Peking University are the top universities in the field of culture in my country. Everyone must be proud of these two universities. However, even a top university like Tsinghua University made a mistake with its welcome banner. "Warmly welcome new students" is written openly as "Warmly welcome new students". Anyone with a discerning eye can immediately see that there is something wrong with this wording. What happened to this oolong? Coincidentally, there was a joke at Peking University. What happened?

In its long and glorious history, Tsinghua University has also produced many masters of Chinese studies. The famous "Tsinghua Four Mentors" can be said to have left a profound mark in the cultural history of our country. Logically speaking, how could a century-old institution with such a profound cultural heritage have such a flaw in its welcome banner? What happened is this. On the Tsinghua University welcome banner, the word "lie" in "Warmly welcome new students" was replaced by the word "Lie". This is a big deal, it's really eye-catching.

As soon as the incident broke out, some netizens defended Tsinghua University. There are three popular views. The first theory is that the century-old Tsinghua University is not rigorous and is just a formality and perfunctory. People who hold this view also have high hopes for Tsinghua University. After all, this is the best university of science and engineering in China. Such mistakes are understandable. The second theory is that Tsinghua University is a science and engineering department, and talking about Wen Jue is not something men in science and engineering do. This statement makes sense and there is nothing wrong with it.

The last statement is still logically tenable. Netizens believe that this is an oversight on the part of the banner producer, and there is nothing to blame. However, there was a problem with the banner manufacturer. Didn’t the event organizers notice it? This has aroused heated discussions, and people have criticized Tsinghua University. Is it really uneducated or is it due to negligence? Coincidentally, Peking University, which dominates the world with its humanities, has also made a joke.

2018 is the 120th anniversary of Peking University. The four official script characters "One Hundred and Twenty Peking University" are placed in prominent places on the Peking University campus. At first glance, there is nothing wrong. Peking University has not been built for a century. After all, China’s first Chinese department is there, which is reassuring enough. At least Peking University did not write these four characters wrong, but the last big character was undoubtedly placed wrongly. Where does this question come from? Official script pays attention to "silkworm head and swallow tail". When writing, it should be written like this, and when placing it, it should also be placed like this. This is a beautiful work. However, when we see related photos, they basically put the swallowtail in the front, which looks very awkward. Peking University is famous for its Chinese language. It is really confusing that such a big omission was not noticed.

Tsinghua University mostly majors in science and engineering, so it is understandable that it is not good at talking about words. However, it is satisfying and understandable that a top liberal arts school such as Peking University made such a mistake. In fact, whether it is Tsinghua University who got the banner wrong, or whether Peking University made a joke, it is still the saying, "If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is no greater good." There must be rules for the correct use of Chinese characters. Otherwise, it will definitely not work if you think about it one by one. Peking University and Tsinghua University, as two schools of liberal arts and sciences, should serve as a good example rather than misleading. Only by paying attention to details can success or failure be determined. It has to be said that our country still has a long way to go if it wants to build a world-class university.
