What is Tsinghua's school song? What are the lyrics? Who wrote it?

Tsinghua University school song Tsinghua University old school song

The western hills are grey and the East China Sea is vast. Our school is solemn and solemn, standing in the center, and the eastern and western cultures gather together.

Together, the motherland shines. Students come from afar, students come from afar, and the spring breeze turns into rain.

Yang, you must be self-reliant when you are well. Self-improvement, self-improvement and self-improvement are necessary conditions for sustained health! Keep improving, keep improving, okay?

Good health must be self-reliant!

Left picture and right poem, Ye Weijia's taste, knowing poverty and reason, learning from the past, combining the old with the new, all roads lead to the same goal.

Nuclear benevolence, the smell of the road is getting fatter and fatter. There is nothing wrong with obeying a kind heart, and there is nothing wrong with obeying a kind heart. The sea can humble the sea.

Returning, knowledge is solid and bright. Brilliant, brilliant and solid study gave birth to brilliance! Talent, talent, knowledge

Be realistic and be brilliant!

Prophesy, literature and art follow, in other words, regardless of the west and the east, it is an introduction, which is the same as our school's merits.

Benevolence, gale. There are many clocks in Tsinghua, Shui Mu and Tsinghua, Shui Mu.

Loyal and brilliant, my school name has no dome. No dome, no dome, hehe, my school name has no dome! No dome, no dome, Hector

Wu He's school name has no dome!

Interpretation of the lyrics of Tsinghua University's school songs

Sun maoxin

At the beginning of the school, foreign teachers created a school song with English lyrics, but the lyrics and songs were not satisfactory. Mr. He Lin wrote in Tsinghua Weekly 1925: "I don't think Tsinghua's English school song can represent the spirit of Tsinghua, let alone the cultural spirit of China. I thought about it carefully. It turned out that this song was written by an American lady, and I suddenly realized that this song originally represented a very naive Americanization. ..... and this Americanization is not what we need. "

It is against this background that around 1923, the school publicly solicited school songs, and the lyrics applied by Mr. Wang Yunxiang were selected by celebrities inside and outside the school. At that time, Mr. Wang was a teacher of Chinese and philosophy in our school. In order to make the lyrics meaningful, he wrote them in classical Chinese. The three lyrics are magnificent and profound. Mr. He Lin believes that this school song is the crystallization of China's excellent traditional culture and "can express the cultural spirit of China. At the same time, it can meet the school motto and realize the educational purpose of Tsinghua. The wording of the school song is also very decent ... Everyone thinks they appreciate this song. " He formally proposed to cancel the English school song at that time and replace it with Mr. Wang's Chinese school song.

There are also disadvantages in using classical Chinese as lyrics. This is one of the allusions, the meaning of which is difficult for many people to know at a glance. As Mr. He Lin said, at that time, some students "sang without examining their meaning, and sang without studying their purpose." Then, in the autumn of 1925, Mr. Wang Yunxiang published "The True Meaning of China School Songs in Tsinghua" in Tsinghua Weekly, and analyzed the school songs paragraph by paragraph. In the same year, Mr. He Lin (then a fashion school student) also published The Truth of China School Song in Tsinghua in Tsinghua Weekly.

After the Book of Righteousness, in addition to the contents mentioned above, it also discusses the meaning of "taking the instrument as the prophet and taking the text as the successor". Now, according to the methods pointed out by two old-timers, from the present point of view, in today's language, try to explain the difficult parts of the lyrics of the old school song as follows:

the first paragraph

The western hills are gray/the East China Sea is vast/our school is solemn/majestic. The center point is about its geographical position. The "West Mountain" and "East Sea" here are both geographical terms, that is, "the mountains are in the west and the sea is in the east".

Datong/the motherland shines brightly

It is said that the ideal of this school is to make the motherland realize a harmonious society. "Datong" comes from The Book of Rites and Li Yun, and it is an ideal society put forward by Confucianism as opposed to "well-off". Later generations often use "Great Harmony in the World" to express an ideal society that eliminates the differences in economic and political status between people. Mr. Kang Youwei once wrote The Book of Great Harmony, expounding his utopian socialist viewpoint based on bourgeois theory of human nature. Both "pole" and "pole" mean to realize, and "pole" also means to fly over.

Meaning.

The spring breeze brought rain and joy to Weiyang.

Spring breeze melts rain, good education. This sentence is very interesting in a good educational environment. Weiyang: There is no margin.

If you are healthy, you must stand on your own feet.

From "Yi Chuan Gan Xiang", "Heaven is strong, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement". It means: a gentleman should imitate the inevitability of the operation of heaven, work hard and never stop.

The second paragraph

Left picture Right/Ye Weijiawei

This sentence praised our school's complete teaching facilities, especially the library, which provided a good learning and research environment for students. Zuo Tu You Shi: People are in the study, and books are everywhere. "The Biography of Yang Wan in the New Tang Dynasty" "(Yang Wan) is calm (quiet), alone in one room, a historical picture, full of dust, and seems (quiet)." "Ye Jia": that is, Ye Jia. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Mi, a family with rich books, once sealed the Duke of Zhou Ye. Later generations praised other people's books with "Ye Jia", and the school song praised the richness of the school's books.

Exploration of "Knowing the Ancient" and "Knowing the Ancient"

"Knowledge" and "poverty" are terms of China's ancient epistemology, and they are often used together with "Wu Ge" to explore the inner essence of things. Tsinghua students study hard at school, learn the legacy of their predecessors and explore the unknown world.

Combination of the old and the new/all roads lead to the same goal

Corresponding to the first paragraph "East and West cultures/meeting together", the first paragraph talks about "East and West", and this paragraph talks about "old and new", that is, "modern and ancient". Tsinghua's traditional academic philosophy is to "integrate East and West, integrate ancient and modern". Mr. Wang Yunxiang called this an "element" contained in the school song. Learning ancient culture serves the present, so it is said that "all roads lead to the same goal". Nowadays, Tsinghua students still have to learn the essence of ancient China culture, inherit the excellent national traditions of their ancestors, and serve China's socialist modernization.

Pan Renyi/smells morality and grows fat.

Vegetable core, good meal. "Yao" refers to meat dishes, and "nuclear" refers to fruits. Know the true meaning of things by "smelling the Tao" Confucius said, "If you listen to the sermon in the morning, you will die at night." The pursuit of truth is more precious than life. This sentence regards learning the fine traditions of ancient China as a wonderful spiritual enjoyment, which enriches our thoughts day by day.

Do not violate obedience and kindness.

Obey, remember. The Doctrine of the Mean: "If you get a good deed, you will lose a punch."

The sea will become humble and many waters will return.

Ren Wei Cao Zhi's "Journey to the South" said: "The East China Sea is vast and wonders everywhere. The size of the East China Sea is nothing strange. " This means that the East China Sea is low-lying and can accommodate hundreds of rivers. Ancient Chinese often used this to praise the humble character. "Lao Tzu's Sixty-six Chapters" has: "Jianghai can be the king of all the valleys, but learn from it"; "Guanzi Situation Solution" has: "The sea does not hesitate to water, so it can become big"; "Zhuangzi Zeyang" has: "Rivers merge with water to become big"; Li Si, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty, wrote in the book "Persuade Learning and Expel": "Rivers and seas do not choose trickle, so they can be deep"; "Xunzi's exhortation to learn" has: "If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become a big stream." All these illustrate the dialectics between scale, competition and depth through the relationship between the majestic river and the trickle. The school song uses this sentence to encourage Tsinghua students to be modest and have the same mind as the sea. Only in this way can "knowledge be solid and bright".

The third paragraph

Understand first/follow literature and art

Instrumental knowledge: measurement and knowledge refer to people's inner cultivation and spiritual realm; Literature and art: writing knowledge and vocabulary skills. There is an idea in The Biography of Pei Xingjian in the New Tang Dynasty that "a scholar should be the source of learning, learn instrument first, and then learn literature", which is a step for the ancient intellectuals in China to cultivate themselves for learning. The ancients first paid attention to the measurement and knowledge of being a man, and cultivated great wisdom and courage, so as to achieve the realm of "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, power can't be bent", "don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself", and "worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joy of the world later". As for "literature and art", it is only the end of the device. This view of the ancients has great practical significance. Today's so-called "literature and art" is no longer like the writing style of the ancients, but should refer to intelligent talents limited to a certain aspect. Mr. He Lin wrote in the article: "Now most young people are as smart as beans. They like to make a sensation with their talents and skills, and they have never made any efforts to cultivate their knowledge." My classmates in Tsinghua (including me, of course) have long had the root of narrow-mindedness, which has not been eliminated yet ... The "knowledge first" in the school song is a good medicine for treating symptoms, which has taught us a good lesson. Our school has long insisted on "putting moral education first" and encouraged students to participate in social practice in order to "see the world, grow their talents and make contributions", which is one of the outstanding national traditions.

Lide makes a point/doesn't ask questions.

According to Zuo Zhuan's Twenty-four Years of Xianggong, Mu Shu and Zi Xuan discussed what the ancients called "death and immortality". Mu Shu believes that noble families cannot be called immortal. "Dazhong has virtue, followed by meritorious service, followed by making a statement. Although it will not be abolished for a long time, it is called eternal life. " This sentence in the school song expresses the pride of the students in this school who have made immortal achievements in their respective disciplines. "Don't ask about western learning" here means that Lide advocates going beyond the traditional learning of the East and the West and achieving world-class results, that is, "being the first in the world" as mentioned today.

Who introduced/the advantages of our school/the equal treatment of all colleagues/the great style?

This sentence is about the academic democracy of the school. "Introduction" here means "introduction" and "introduction", while "Shi" is a pronoun, that is, "this". Reminiscent of the above sentence, who integrated the knowledge of ancient and modern China and the West and made a statement on this basis? This is our school. We can make such a contribution because there is a "strong wind" in our school that treats all schools and viewpoints equally, which is called "relaxed academic environment" today.

Zhong Xiuzhong, Tsinghua, Shui Mu

Show, top talent; Bells, love, yearning. Our school's complete disciplines, fine traditions, good study style, excellent learning environment and democratic academic atmosphere have attracted a large number of talents and become a place that the vast number of aspiring young people love and yearn for.

Loyal to revenge with one arrow.

This sentence shows the feelings of Tsinghua students and alumni for their alma mater. Sincerity and honesty also refer to a simple heart. Vector is loyalty and unchangeable loyalty. Qu Yuan asked Zheng Zhanyin in Songs of the South: "I want to express my gratitude to Park Yi-chung and give it to Lawrence for endless calling?" Would I rather remain sincere and loyal, or be exhausted in an endless world? Qu Yuan's loyalty remains unchanged, and so do Tsinghua students and alumni.

He Hewu's school name has no dome.

A dome, a canopy. In ancient China, Gaitian said that the sky was shaped like a hat, a dome. No vault and infinity, but more vivid.

After the birth of Tsinghua University's old school songs in the 1920s, a number of songs were sung in various historical periods. After the resumption of school after the "Cultural Revolution", the school art education department also engaged in the collection of new school songs. But so far, no song has been recognized by everyone and can be used as the school song of Tsinghua University. In contrast, Tsinghua University's old school songs, after 78 years of cold and heat, still maintain a breathtaking charm. On the occasion of our school's 90th birthday, the old school songs will be compiled into a simple score and published again, hoping to be sung among our teachers and students and appreciate our history and traditions. The tune of this song is also very distinctive, steady and firm, sacred and solemn, which is intrinsically related to the history and characteristics of the school. The composer, Ms. Zhang Huizhen, was the wife of Mr. Ren Lin, the head of English copywriting department in our school at that time. The original composer column was labeled as "First Lady Lin He", which is not in line with today's language habits, and it seems to be too old-fashioned, so it was changed.

I hope that the old school song can become the clarion call for the school to March into a world-class university.
