Situated on several former imperial gardens of the Qing Dynasty, surrounded by a few historical sites in northwest Beijing, is the campus of Tsinghua University. The garden-like landscape, with the Wanquan River meandering through, has

inspired and motivated generations of students. 

Tsinghua University was established in 1911 originally as “Tsinghua Xuetang,” a preparatory school for students who would be sent by the government to study in universities in the United States. The school was renamed “Tsinghua School” in 1912. The university section was instituted in 1925 and undergraduate students were then enrolled. The name “National Tsinghua University” was adopted in 1928, and in 1929 the Research Institute was set up. Although Western culture was pervasive in the early history of the university, Chinese culture was also cherished and widely studied. The faculty greatly valued the interaction between the 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.
