The name National Tsinghua University was adopted in 1928.The Resistance War against the Japanese Invasion in 1937 shattered the serenity of the campus and forced Tsinghua to move to Kunming. There, with Peking University and Nankai University, it formed the Southwest Associated University. In 1946, Tsinghua moved back to its original Peking location. At that time, the University had 26 departments under five faculties that included arts, law, science, engineering, and agricultural science.As part of the nationwide higher education restructuring in 1952, Tsinghua University was molded into a polytechnic institution focused on engineering. It became known as China’s “cradle of engineers” due to the success of its faculty and students. Tsinghua University has flourished since 1978 with the resumption of departments in science, economics, humanities and social sciences, and law. In 1999, the former Central Academy of Arts and Design of China joined Tsinghua University.In 1993, Tsinghua established its goal to build itself into a world-class university. With the support of the national 211 Project and 985 Program, Tsinghua has taken new steps in discipline development, talent cultivation, faculty development, scientific research, and international cooperation.Schools and DepartmentsTsinghua University has established School of Architecture, School of Civil Engineering, School of Mechanical Engineering, School of Aerospace, School of Information Science and Technology, Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Department of Electrical Engineering, Department of Engineering Physics, Department of Chemical Engineering, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, School of Sciences, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, School of Economics and Management, School of Public Policy and Management, School of Law, Academy of Arts and Design, School of Medicine, School of Journalism and Communication, Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology, Teaching and Research Division of Physical Education, Graduate School at Shenzhen and School of Continuing Education.EducationTsinghua is very proud of its excellent students.

In 1901, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing and forced the Qing dynasty government to sign the Boxer Protocol. According to this Protocol, Qing government need to pay a large number of reparations to the aggressor countries. In 1911, based on a part of this reparations, a School named “Tsinghua Xuetang” was built as Preparatory School for students to study in United States. “Tsinghua Xuetang” was the predecessor of today’s Tsinghua University. The name “National Tsinghua University” was adopted in 1928.Since its establish, with a motto of Self-Discipline and Social Commitment, Tsinghua University is dedicated to academic excellence, the well-being of Chinese society and to global development. Today, most national and international rankings place Tsinghua as one of the best universities in Mainland China.So we can see three different architectural styles of buildings in the campus of Tsinghua University. The old buildings are mainly located in the west of Xuetang Road, in the east of Xuetang Road there are all new buildings which was built after 1949.泥沙馆Sedimentation BuildingSedimentation Building is mainly built for the research of hydraulics and river dynamics. It contains offices, boardrooms and laboratories.二校门The Old GateThe Old Gate was built in 1909. The Gate was the main entrance to the school campus at that time.At that time, the Gate was heavily guarded. In those years, underclassmen were not allowed to go out of the gate without permission from school authorities. In addition, in order to preserve the sanctity of the learning environment, outside people without permission were also forbidden to pass through the gate.In 1933, after the expansion of the residential area, the former enclosing wall was moved to further out. A new gate, now Tsinghua's West Gate, became the new mainentrance. Ever since, the original gate has been called Er Xiao Men (means "the second school gate").The Old Gate was demolished in 1960's. Donated by Tsinghua University Alumni, it was rebuilt in 1991, following the original design.日晷SundialThe sundial is a classical timer used in ancient times. It is a gift given by the graduates in 1920. It serves as a reference for class time for students, and also a reminder to them that every second of time should be valued.It was carved with the motto "Actions speak louder than words" in both Chinese and Latin characters together with the date of construction. Today, the motto "Actions speak louder than words" has already become the school spirit of Tsinghua University. The?Sundial?is?made?of?silver?covered?with?enamel.?The Sundial stood in front of Tsinghua’s grassy quadrangle before the foundation of People’s Republic of China (about 1948). The planar surface of the sundial turned to be stony then, since the former silver one covered with enamel disappeared. Tsinghua often had struggle meeting on the grassy quadrangle during the Cultural Revolution. The oval grassy quadrangle was changed into a rectangle and the Sundial was removed in order to enlarge the field. The place where the Sundial used to stand was stuffed with cement, and the Sundial was missing. After the Cultural Revolution, Tsinghua began to collect the old things of the university, and the Sundial was found in a pile of stones, but its planar disappeared. The Sundial we see nowadays had been repaired after that, and its planar was newly made. It was here since the 70th anniversary of the foundation of Tsinghua.清华学堂Tsinghua XuetangTsinghua Xuetang is one of the landmarks of Tsinghua University. Xuetang means school, a place for teaching. The construction of Tsinghua Xuetang was completed in 1916. It was one of the main buildings of the school at its early stage.The four Chinese characters painted above the main entrance read "Tsinghua School", the first name of the institution when it was founded. The inscription was by Na Tong, a Great Scholar and Grand Minister in late Qing Dynasty.Tsinghua Xuetang served as classrooms for senior students at the beginning of the school. After the east part was built, it remained a dormitory for senior graduating students for several years. In 1925, the Institute of Chinese Classics was set up here. The renowned “Four Tutors" in the Institute of Chinese Classics: Liang Qichao, WangGuowei, Zhao Yuanren, Chen Yinque, （梁启超、王国维、赵元任、陈寅恪）the famous archeologist Li Ji, and litterateur Wu Mi were brought together.In the last few decades, it was used as teaching building and classrooms. Now it is the offices of some main administration departments: the Graduate School, the undergraduate academic department and the R&D department.大礼堂AuditoriumThe Auditorium is a symbol of Tsinghua University. The Auditorium was designed by American architect . Murphy in 1913, and completed in 1917. It is one of the four major building projects carried out by Tsinghua School, together with Tsinghua Xuetang, the old library, and the west gymnasium. Since the American designer didn’t believe the quality of building materials in China, they imported the costing cork floors, chairs and even the red bricks all from America. The design of Auditorium based on the image of the auditorium in University of Pennsylvania. Endowed with the feature of both Greek and Roman building, looks very elegant.For a long time, the building has been long viewed as the symbol of persistence, simplicity and indomitable will. Though more than 90 years has passed, the Auditorium still maintains quite well. Large-scaled activities like every Student Festival of different departments and some concerts are often held here.新水利馆Department of Hydraulic EngineeringThe Water Conservancy Building is hosts the Department of Hydraulic Engineering. Constructed in the year 1955. Its designer is Mr. Zhou Weiquan. In order to match the style of the buildings around the great auditorium, the designer applied the same methods in his general drawing arrangement and architectural style arrangement. The appearance of the building consists of elements like red brick wall and arch door, window and gate.Department of Hydraulic Engineering dates back to the Hydraulic Engineering group and Hydraulic Engineering laboratory of the Civil Engineering Department in the late the school-department adjustment in 1952, department of Hydraulic and department of Hydropower Engineering were founded. In 1955, it moved into the new department building and was reestablished as Department of Hydraulic Engineering.The department has a strong teaching staff, including six academicians and 40 professors. The former President of China, Hu Jintao graduated from this departmentin 1965.智者乐水、仁者乐山The statue of “Zhi Zhe Le Shui, Ren Zhe Le Shan” was built in 2002 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Department of Hydraulic Engineering. The statue was donated by alumni graduated in 1965, including our former President Hu Jintao and former Minister of Water Resources Wang Shucheng.The sentence is from Confucian Analects. The left part of the statue represents hard mountain rocks, and the right part represents flowing water. It means wise men are sharp-minded, just like flowing waters, kind men are kindhearted and tolerant, just like staunch mountains. That is how the statue comes into being.科学馆Science BuildingThe Science Building is also one of the Four Early Architectures of Tsinghua University. It was first built in 1917 and was finished 1919. Again Mr. . Murphy added his expertise and talents to the design of the Science Building.There are characters in both Chinese and old English of “SCIENCE BVILDING” on the lintel of the door which are distinguished and simple. It was used for science teaching and experiments when first built because it possesses of the most advanced equipment. Later it served as Physics Department Building for 73 years till the newly-built Physics Department teaching building came into use. This building brought out countless scientists and many of them are famous all around the world for their contribution to our earth, such as Wang Ganchang, Wang Zhuxi, Peng Hengwu, Qian Sanqiang, He Zehui and Lin Jiaqiao. （王淦昌、王竹溪、彭恒武、钱三强、何泽慧、林家翘）Among the 23 scientists honored by the country in 1999 for their great contributions to the astonishing accomplishment of the “Atomic Bomb, hydrogen Bomb and artificial satellite”, 9 graduated from Physics Department of Tsinghua University.Now, the Science Building is the dreaming place for the young generation nationwide who is interested in science.清华园Tsinghua GardenThe more popular name of the garden is Gong Zi Ting -- which in Chinese means H-Shaped House. Viewed from above, the central part of the house resembles the letter "H", with its two halls in the front and back connected by a short corridor in the middle.? The garden was the residence of a Qing emperor's brother's family. In the early days of Tsinghua School, the garden was used as the school's first head office building. Student enrollment lists were posted on the wall at the front gate. For some years in its history,the east room in the front section was used as the Music Center, the west room as the teacher's reading room and the back section to accommodate distinguished foreign guests. The great Indian poet Tagore stayed there when he visited China in 1924.近春园（荷塘月色）Jinchun GardenJinchun Garden was the residence of emperor Xian Feng before he succeeded his father. After he took power, he changed the name “Xichun garden” into “Tsinghua garden” and extended the whole garden.In the summer of 1927, during one sleepless night, the well-known Professor Zhu Ziqing of Tsinghua, went for a stroll around the lake area to think about the tremendous changes occurring in Chinese society. When the lovely landscape caught his attention, he was moved to write the now-classic essay "The View of the Lotus Pond in the Moonlight."水木清华Shuimu TsinghuaShuimu Tsinghua which means "clear water and trees surrounding Tsinghua" is one of the most captivating spots in Tsinghua. It was founded in the 18th century. It used to be a part of the imperial garden, so it is also called 'garden within a garden'.The four Chinese characters "Shui Mu Tsing Hua" painted on the top of the main gate, were copied from an inscription by Emperor Kang Xi. On the opposite of the main gate, there exists a sculpture of famous proser Mr. Zhu Ziqing.清华图书馆Tsinghua University LibraryThe Tsinghua Library is one of the landmarks at Tsinghua University which now has a collection of more than 4 million books. Tsinghua Library consists of three parts: the old library, Yifu library and Li Wenzheng Library which is also called the north library. The old library also consists of the early part and the latter extension part. The Tsinghua Library has been under construction four times and its life span covers more than 90 years.The early part of the old library was designed by a famous American architect . Murphy and was completed in 1919. It was considered to be one of the Four Tsinghua Early Buildings. The extension part of the old library was finished in 1931 and covered an area of three times as large as the early part. The Yifu library was built in 1991. It was donated by the famous philanthropist Mr. Shao Yifu and designed by academician Mr. Guan Zhaoye from the School of Architecture. Mr. Guan used what most Tsinghua old architectures adopted such as the red bricks and grey tiles in order to keep consistency with the style of the previous one. The Li Wenzheng library was completed in this year.It was donated by the industrialist Mr. Li wenzheng and also designed by architect Mr. Guan Zhaoye.The library is so superior in design that it received many honors, including “one of the Top 10 architectures of Beijing” in the Library has deep cultural and human atmosphere. Mr. Qian Zhongshu had once made up his mind to read all the books from the library and Mr. Cao Yu wrote his most famous drama Thunderstorm (Lei Yu) in the library.西操场West Sports GroundWest Sports Ground is famous for its blue athletic track which was repainted last year. Its original color is red. In the west of the playground is west Gymnasium.It was designed by architect . Murphy and was completed in 1919. It was considered to be one of the Four Tsinghua Early Buildings. When it was founded, the gym was one of the most advanced of its kind in the country. It housed a basketball court, an athletic track, and various kinds of athletic equipment. It also has an indoor swimming pool.It has been a gathering place for the most outstanding people in the field of physical education, bringing up thousands of talented athletes to represent China. After the liberation of China, former Chairman Mao Zedong used to swim there. Pioneers of physical education such as John Ma and Hao Gengshen taught there for decades.。

清华大学考研辅导强化班课程《英语翻译》清华大学外语系许建平主讲并提供文档资料第一部分：考研英语翻译状况分析与策略I. 翻译考试的内容与考生状况分析研究生英语入学考试中的翻译项目旨在通过翻译测试考生正确理解英文原文的能力及汉语的表达能力。
此项测试方法是通过阅读一篇难度适中的短文（题材不限，长度约400字上下），翻译其中较为复杂的5个句子。
翻译共5题，每题2分，满分为10分；每题划分为若干个给分段，每一分段的分值为0.5或1。
对考生的要求是对原文理解正确，译文表达清楚准确，对汉语不作过高要求。
从近几年的考研翻译情况来看，考试成绩都不够理想。
满分为10分的考题，多数考生的成绩都在6、7分上下，不少考生甚至很难保住4、5分—这就对总体得分造成了影响。
考研英语试卷就那么五个句子的翻译，看起来并不太难，为什么会出现普遍的丢分现象呢？我认为主要有两方面的原因：一是考生思想上对翻译的重视不够，二是缺乏相应的技巧方法及其训练。
前一个原因是众所周知的事实，我们的英语学习一直强调的是听、说、读、写，在外语学习的五大技能中“译”处于一种几乎完全被忽视的地位。
各类英语课本中很少有全面系统的翻译知识、方法指导以及技能训练，间或穿插一点，也只不过是围绕课文开展的零星翻译练习。
这样一来，就难免形成平时缺乏训练，翻译考试力不从心的困境。
第二个原因不难从每年考研的翻译考试情况看出：考生的翻译能力远远低于读写的实际水平。
在很多情况下，能理解的，却不会表达；勉强能表达的，又表达失误，不是生搬硬套便是词不达意，因此造成翻译上的失败。
另外，翻译考试不是短文或段落的连贯翻译，而是从某一篇章中的取出若干句子，这些句子大都比较复杂，必须根据原文上下文才能正确理解英文，因此加大了翻译的难度，使不少考生感到不好下笔。
综上所述，翻译考试要想立足于不败之地，就必须克服上述两大问题。
一是要加以重视，投入一定的时间做翻译练习，二是掌握必要的翻译技巧方法。
正确理解英文原文是确保翻译准确无误的前提，而通顺清楚的表达则是获取高分的保证。

General InformationTsinghua University was established in 1911, originally under the name “Tsinghua Xuetang”. The school was renamed "Tsinghua School" in 1912. The university section was founded in 1925. The name “National Tsinghua University” was adopted in 1928.The faculty greatly valued the interaction between Chinese and Western cultures, the sciences and humanities, the ancient and modern. Tsinghua scholars Wang Guowei, Liang Qichao, Chen Yinque and Zhao Yuanren, renowned as the "Four Tutors" in the Institute of Chinese Classics, advocated this belief and had a profound impact on Tsinghua's later development.Tsinghua University was forced to move to Kunming and join with Peking University and Nankai University to form the Southwest Associated University due to the Resistance War against the Japanese Invasion in 1937. In 1946 The University was moved back to its original location in Beijing after the war.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the University was molded into a polytechnic institute focusing on engineering in the nationwide restructuring of universities and colleges undertaken in 1952. In November 1952, Mr. Jiang Nanxiang became the President of the University. He made significant contributions in leading Tsinghua to become the national center for training engineers and scientists with both professional proficiency and personal integrity.Since China opened up to the world in 1978, Tsinghua University has developed at a breathtaking pace into a comprehensive research university. At present, the university has 14 schools and 56 departments with faculties in science, engineering, humanities, law, medicine, history, philosophy, economics, management, education and art. The University has now over 25,900 students, including 13,100 undergraduates and 12,800 graduate students. As one of China’s most renowned universities, Tsinghua has become an important institution for fostering talent and scientific research.The educational philosophy of Tsinghua is to "train students with integrity." Among over 120,000 students who have graduated from Tsinghua since its founding are many outstanding scholars, eminent entrepreneurs and great statesmen remembered and respected by their fellow Chinese citizens.With the motto of “Self-Discipline and Social Commitment” and the spirit of “Actions Speak Louder than Words”,History of TsinghuaLocated in the northwestern suburbs of Beijing, Tsinghua University wasestablished in 1911 on the site of “Qing Hua Yuan (Tsinghua Garden)” —a formerroyal garden of the Qing Dynasty. Partly funded by the “Gengzi Indemnity”, alsoknown as “Boxer Indemnity,” it functioned at first as a preparatory school called“Tsinghua Xuetang (Tsing Hua Imperial College)” for those students who weresent by the government to study in the United States.On April 29, 1911, Tsinghua Xuetang began its first term of study, and from thatyear on, the Tsinghua’s anniversary has fallen on the last Sunday of April. Thename was changed to “Tsinghua Xuexiao (Tsing Hua College)” after the 1911Revolution.In 1925, Tsinghua launched its four-year undergraduate programme. In 1928,its name was changed to “Guoli Tsinghua Daxue (National Tsinghua University),”and in the autumn of 1929 its graduate school was set up.Following the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japan in 1937, Tsinghua University, Peking University and Nankai University merged to form the National Southwest Associated University in Kunming. After the war, Tsinghua University moved back to its original Beijing campus.Three years after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, a nationwide restructuring of institutes of higher education began, and in 1952, Tsinghua University became a multidisciplinary polytechnic university specializing in training engineers. In November of that year, the Ministry of Education appointed Jiang Nanxiang as President.Since 1978, Tsinghua University has strengthened its teaching in sciences, economic management, humanities and law. In 1999, Tsinghua opened the School of Arts and Design by merging with the Central Academy of Arts and Design. Today, Tsinghua has become a leading university: while its teaching is focused on engineering, it concurrently offers degrees in other sciences, the liberal arts, management and law.To fully implement the “China Education Reform and Development Program,” Tsinghua University has set new development targets for the next 15 years. Educational quality and effectiveness will be improved and disciplinary structure will be readjusted. Building on our strength in engineering, the university will promote the development of science and management departments. High academic standards will also be pursued in the humanities and social sciences.In less than 100 years, Tsinghua University has witnessed and shared the hardships and glories of the nation. The University’s motto of “Self-discipline and Social Commitment” has inspired many generations of Tsinghua teachers and students to struggle for the prosperity of China. Now, striving to build Tsinghua University into a world-class university by its 100th anniversary in 2011 has become the objective of each member of the teaching staff and the student body.Tsinghua Garden（清华园-工字厅）Tsinghua Garden is architecturally unique. It preserves original architectural features over three centuries old. The garden retains a traditional Qing private garden design and style with painted corridors connecting every room. It has functioned as the university's head office for many years. Due to its distinctive characteristics, it has become a major attraction on campus.The more popular name of the garden is Gong Zi Ting -- which in Chinese means H-Shaped House. Viewed from above, the central part of the house resembles the letter "H", with its two halls in the front and back connected by a short corridor in the middle.The garden started out as the residence of a Qing emperor’s brother’s family. In the early days of Tsinghua School, founded in 1911, the garden was used as the school’s first head office building. Student enrollment lists were posted on the wall at the front gate. For some years in its history, the east room in the front section was used as the Music Center, the west room as the teacher’s reading room and the back section to accommodate distinguished foreign guests. The great Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore stayed there when he visited China in 1924.Auditorium（大礼堂）Located at the heart of the oldest area on Tsinghua campus is the imposing auditorium. Mixing Greek and Roman architectural styles, the 1,200-seat auditorium has a rounded roof, a brass gate, and four large white marble columns. It possesses few design embellishments; its magnificence is evident in its simplicity.Construction on what is now one of the favorite buildings on campus began in September 1917 and concluded in March 1920. The auditorium was one of the four major building projects carried out by Tsinghua School, together with Tsinghua Xuetang, the old library, and the gymnasium.In its day, it was the largest auditorium of its kind at a university in China, and could seat the entire faculty, staff and student body for school assemblies.Tsinghua School（清华学堂）Tsinghua School, a two floor German style building, was one of the main buildings of the school at it’s early stage. It was a student dormitory building.The west wing was built during 1909-1911. The east wing was built in 1916. The total construction area was 4650 m².The four Chinese characters painted above the main entrance read “Tsinghua School”, the first name of the institution when it was founded. The inscription was by Na Tong, a Great Scholar and Grand Minister in late Qing Dynasty.In the last few decades, it was used as teaching building and classrooms. Now it is the offices of some main administration departments: the Graduate School, the undergraduate academic department and the R&D department.The Old Gate（二校门）The Old Gate was built in 1909. In May of that year, the Qing dynasty government approved the application from the Department of Foreign Affairs to establish a school in the suburbs of Beijing.

The Gate was the main entrance to the school campus at that time.At that time, the Gate was not only stately and graceful, but also heavily guarded. In those years, underclassmen were not allowed to go beyond the gate without permission from school authorities. In addition, for the sake of preserving the sanctity of the learning environment, people not on official school business were forbidden to pass through the gate.In 1933, after the expansion of the residential area, the former enclosing wall was moved to further out. A new gate, now Tsinghua's West Gate, became the new main entrance. Ever since, the original gate has been called Er Xiao Men (means "the second school gate").The Old Gate was demolished in 1960’s. Donated by Tsinghua University Alumni, it was rebuilt in 1991, following the original design.Shui Mu Tsinghua（水木清华）Shui Mu Tsinghua, which means "clear water and trees surrounding Tsinghua," is one of the most captivating spots in Tsinghua Yuan.

清华大学物理系英文简介Tsinghua University’s custom of advocating sports and excellent sports tradition are formed, continued and developed under the stressing and promotion of the operators and even their own operation. They have been deeply rooted in the Tsinghua’s great cultural concepts of more than 90 years.Currently Teaching and Research Division of Physical Culture is well staffed with 59 teachers, in which there are 11 professors, 33 associate professors, 5 Ph.D. supervisors and 5 master's supervisors. Among the teachers, twelve have doctor's degree, and there are twenty masters and five people with dual degrees, 27 undergraduates and 6 international referees.

They have achieved excellent results in national and even the world competitions.The basic concept of Tsinghua sports is education foremost, for all and pursuing excellence. Sports work of Tsinghua was just started in such an atmosphere. It has not only inherited the good tradition of sports accumulated and continued for decades but also integrated with new ideas, viewpoints and methods with social development, changes of people’s thinking and values. It makes the concept of “fighting to work at least 50 years healthily for the motherland” filling Tsinghua Park become Tsinghua people’s conscious physical exercise. It makes sports in Tsinghua University become not only an important component of university education but also an important support force of the nation and society.HistoryTsinghua Sport has a long history with a solid foundation. As the window of promoting sports, improving and strengthen the health of students, Division of Physical Education has been involved in the century torrent of Tsinghua University.In 1912, as with the promotion of the physical education conception“Ethic, Intelligence, Physical quality”brought by President Zh ou Yichun, the Division of Physical Education was formally founded. “The reason why a country is weak due to its weak people, which is the result of impopularization of physical education”. Since the Division of Physical Education was founded, it has advocated that the purpose for doing sports is to make the nation stronger. Therefore, high quality teaching resource is the precious wealth for the realization of setting goals and guarantee for the development of the division. Celebrities such as Shoemaker, Brace, John Mo, Li Jianqiu, Xia Xiang, etc.have lent strong foundation for the basis of Division.Establishing reasonable course systems and doing appropriate sports is the key to improving students’ health and body quality. With the gradual development of Division of Physical Education at Tsinghua University, Division gradually put forward some measures such as“Coercive Physical Education”，“Five Item Tests”, “Setting Physical Education Classes”,etc. in order to set up comprehensive requirements for students. Especially during the Era of National Southwest Associated University, the smoke of War did not prevent Division from developing and improving Physical Education, Brand new events as“Bull Fight”, “Flag Getting” brought about a piece of spiritual sustenance for students who had been suffering the war.“Screaming once, watching Tsinghua with sword”, after the war, “healthy” had been the goal people were chasing for. In the year 1957, President Jiang Nanxiang put forward that “Working for our motherland healthily for at least 50 years”, this quote had not only become the goal for Tsinghua students, but also the explanation of cultivating students with the thought of “Improving on the basis of popularization,popularizing under the conduct of improvement”. T herefore, on the command of teachers as John Mo, Xia Xiang, Wang Yingjie, Wang Weiping, Yang Daochong, etc., actively promoting “Working & Defending the Nation System”and “Five Excercises Standards” and at the same time organized 38 representative team whi ch had as many as 450 people, with the biggest scale and largest number of events among all the universities at that time according to the requirement of “Amateur catches the professional”, which had largely prospered the sports activities on and off campu s as well as promoted the popularization of sports activities among the students.Since the start of Reform and Opening up Policy, the tradition of Tsinghua University had been further carried forward, the majority of students had gradually formed the habit of keeping exercising. Sports was given the connotation of new era. At this moment, Division of Pysical Education kept the sense of education of “Educating people first when emphasizing on both body and morality” and advocated the combination of education and sports, brought the sports into the track of the development of school subjects, which hence went into a new era of development.The basic theory of Tsinghua Sports is “Educating first, facing all the people, in pursuit of excellence”. However, culti vating real talents for the nation must maintain the policy of comprehensive development of “Ethic, Intelligence, physical, beauty, labor” should focus on the comprehensive building and Honing for the youth’s healthy personality. Thus, Division actively carried on sport activities for people, emphasized on the overall development of students, Sports events as “John Mo Cup” Students Track and Field Sports Meeting, Freshman Sports Meeting and Beijing International Marathon Competitions composed the system of competitions for people all the year round. Besides, in order to implement national policies of “National Fitness Program” and ”Olympics Glory Plan”, Division of Physical Education tried to establish high level student ethlete team in October, 1999, on the basis of combining detailed national situation and widely referring to the experience of success of those sports developed countries, which began a mean of nation training student athletes and contributed for the popularization of athletic sports among Chinese university students. So far, there are 36 representative teams of 26 sports events, including Trackand Field Team, Rowing Team, Diving Team, Shooting Team, Basketball Team, Fencing Team, Football Team, Volleyball Team, Swimming Team, Table Tennis Team, etc., there are more than 500 student athletes, who have made excellent results among national and International competitions. During 2008 Beijing Olympics, Hu Kai cooperated with teammates in 4*100 Relay Race and ranked 4th Place in the group in first round, they successfully went into the final game with the result of 39’’13, which created a new history in Chinese Track and Field event.Since the mid-90s, with the standardization of physical education, Scientificization of sports management, systemization of group activities, internationalization and popularization of athletic sports, the position of the function of modern college sports is changing. Therefore, Division of PE at Tsinghua make "Entering the mainstream, Uniqueness, High starting point, Openness" as the guidelines, put PE into the academic track of construction. In the first term of "985" project, 500 million RMB were invested for Physical Education building, it also established "Sports and Health Science Research Center of Tsinghua University" in 1996 and applied one point of Master’s Degree of "Physical Education and Training Degree” and two points of Master’s Degree of the "Human Kinesiology" and "Sport humanities and sociology" and one point of Master's Degree" Physical Education and Training". In 2009, a new post-doctoral research station was newly added. Up to now, there are 59 teachers in total in the Division of Physical Education, among which, there are 9 professors, 33 associate professor and 4 Doctoral tutors, 8 Master tutors. Amo ng teachers, there are 11 people with Doctor’s Degree, 16 with Master's Degree, 5 with dual degrees, 24 Undergraduate students, 3 International referees. The division has also trained 23 graduate students and 6 Postgraduate students as well as 6 senior visiting scholars; Completing 58 national and ministries issues and published 423 papers in total. During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, part of the faculty in the Division of Physical Education was in charge of referee works on the courts. Mr. Chen Weiqiang was the Chief Referee in the Track and Field competitions during the Olympics.PE class is the core of curriculums in colleges and physical works, which is the basic form of physical education. Considering the educational demand of Tsinghua University, department of physical education makes out the instructional plan of physical education in Tsinghua University. Nowadays, it orders that the physical educational model of undergraduate students is "4+2+2", and there are optional courses provided for graduate students.In conclusion, any kind of sincere pursuit is originated from original motivation and pure life, which is presented by denying an old-self and reestablishing a new one. There is no exception in our sports department. At the Century anniversary o f the founding of Tsinghua University, when we recall our fadeless memory, we merely intend to edge six aspects of our sports---physical education, mass sports activities, competition sports, sports scientific research, construction of teaching faculty, as well as venues and facilities into top class among domestic common universities (domestic non-PE-major universities) through our effort. We will carry forward fine traditions and keep pace with the times in an enterprising, innovative, scientific and pragmatic spirit as to push forward the overall development of sports in our university. We intend to make sports not only an important component of our university’s education, but also a major support for national and social sports.。
