Chapter 1400 Oxford

Under the leadership of Meisen, Li Zhongxin and Haruko Masako and her group arrived at Oxford University soon.

Li Zhongxin saw that Oxford University was integrated with the city, and the streets passed through the campus, which was very similar to several universities in Black Province. It was basically impossible to tell that this was a university.

Oxford has a central school, including various school and department libraries, as well as science laboratories, including 38 colleges and 7 permanent private apartments. These colleges are not just dormitories, but are essentially responsible for teaching undergraduate and graduate students.

The Oxford Museum is also an important cultural representative. Among them, the Ashmore Museum was built in 1683 and is the first museum in the UK. It is 70 years earlier than the British Museum and is now the second largest museum in the UK. Others include the Oxford Story Museum, the Museum of History of Science, the Pitt River Ethnology Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the University Natural History Museum, etc.

Li Zhongxin was quite shocked by Oxford's heritage. It can be said that Rome was not built in one day. A university with heritage is not famous in one day. It requires a lot of heritage. The most powerful part of a school is the school's heritage.

China's universities are now only schools like Tsinghua and Peking University with a profound foundation. Other universities are really incomparable to universities in the UK. Their background and other places are just a few hundred meters away.

According to Meisson's introduction, there are 104 libraries in Oxford University. The largest of them is the second largest library in the UK (second only to the Library of Great Britain). It opened in 1602, 150 years earlier than the British Museum's library. It currently has more than 6 million books and a huge underground library. Cambridge also has nearly 100 libraries with a collection of about 5 million books, and the annual purchase of books is about 3 million pounds. According to the decision of the British Book Industry Corporation in 1611, any British publishing house must provide a free book to the libraries in Oxford and Cambridge, which is still the case.

The streets around the city center are lined with medieval courtyards, each courtyard is a college. Since academics were the patents of the church at that time, the colleges were designed with monastery-style buildings, but they are often surrounded by beautiful gardens. Although most colleges have changed a lot over the years, they still integrate many original features.

Each academies are completely like a medieval monastery, with many tower-like buildings in the city, so they are also named "Tacheng". The library located in the square courtyard of the people was built in 1371 and is the oldest library in England; the University Botanical Garden, built in 1621, is the earliest teaching botanical garden in England.

Redcliffe Square is the center of the university's celebrations and various literary and artistic activities, and it is the center of the entire ancient city.

St. Mary's Church is located on the south side of the square. Before the seventeenth century, the school's main celebrations and concerts were held here. On the west side of the square is Brasenose College, built in 1509. The college was named after the gate with a copper lion nose knocker on the gate when it was founded. In the heaven at the main entrance of the college, there is a royal blue sundial bell.

The western corner of the square is a seminary built in the fifteenth century. The Redcliffe building with a classical dome is a very special building in Oxford. It is the original building of the library. It was used as a university seminar classroom in the early days, but it was later changed to the reading room of the university library.

Klester Church is affectionately called "the house" by Oxford people. All souls college is the only college among many colleges in Oxford that does not have college students. Because there are only graduate students in the college, it is regarded as one of the most academically authoritative institutions in the world. The castle of Modlin College in the east of the city is called "solidified music", which is indeed extremely beautiful. The bell tower is built with large bluestone and pointed to the sky.

The Sheldonian Theater, built in the seventeenth century, is the first building designed by Lenn and is the venue for the traditional degree awarding ceremony of Oxford University. Every summer, at the end of the semester, students wearing black robes and square hats will line up through the streets and enter the theater, where they will receive the honors of the degree awarded.

The Bridge of Sighs is very beautiful. This beautiful landmark was built in 1914 and is a replica of the steep arch bridge in Venice, connecting to Hertford College.

Oxford has almost as many bookstores as libraries, with more than 100 large and small. It has the world's largest academic bookstore, Blackwell Bookstore, and many very small but rich old bookstores. The century-old Blackwell was founded in 1897 and is located opposite the Bodling Library. While selling books, it also engages in publishing. It has 78 chain stores in the UK, and Oxford alone has more than 10 branches, respectively, operating classified books and audio-visual materials such as art, literature.

According to Meisen's introduction, Masako Mitsui and Haruko kept admiring at Niuji University, while Li Zhongxin's thoughts were flying to Jiangcheng, China.

Li Zhongxin built a Zhongxin University in Jiangcheng, China. This university is like this! According to what Li Zhongxin thought in his heart, it can be regarded as a large-scale university, and at least among the newly built privately built universities, he should be the best.

Zhongxin University! In Black Province, its scale and some aspects are only a little worse than the campuses and other universities, and the rest of the universities are not as good as Zhongxin University!

However, after arriving at Oxford University, Li Zhongxin felt that huge gap.

Compared with Oxford University, Zhongxin University seems to be the difference between elementary school students and college students, and the strong contrast is too big.

When Li Zhongxin chose to go to high school, he chose Zhongxin High School because Li Zhongxin knew that the high school teachers he recruited were all very outstanding teachers at this time, not much worse than the No. 1 Middle School in Jiangcheng.

When choosing to go to college, Li Zhongxin thought of studying at Zhongxin University. If he really thought that Zhongxin University was not good, he would only choose Tsinghua or Peking University to study.

After reading Oxford University, Li Zhongxin felt much less about studying at Zhongxin University, but! Li Zhongxin would not completely deny Zhongxin University, because Zhongxin University had reached a very good level at this time, especially in terms of practicality and employment at Zhongxin University, which had reached the peak of Black Province at this time.

In the future, as long as Zhongxin Company continues to invest in Zhongxin University, Li Zhongxin believes that Zhongxin University will still develop quite fast.
