Chapter 62: Boyata

Peking University is famous for its map of a tower lake.

That lake is naturally that unnamed lake.

That tower refers to the Boya Pagoda located next to Weiming Lake at Yenching University.

The location of the Boya Tower may seem ordinary, but it is also a unique and well-thought-out choice by the designer, and its high tower body allows it to appear beautiful from different angles on the campus from time to time. The tower itself can be said to be a work of gold. As an indispensable structure for campus water supply, if it is not properly handled, it is likely to spoil the scenery, and this water tower uses the commanding height of the terrain to use a special treatment method in the scenic area to adopt ingenious architectural modeling for the structure, turning the disadvantage into advantage, and becoming a masterpiece with a high degree of unity in the use of function, artistic modeling and environmental coordination. If you go up the spiral staircase, you can go straight to the top of the tower, and you can see the beautiful scenery of Yanjing West Mountain, which makes people open-minded; Looking down again, you can see Chenghu Lake like a mirror, the shadow of the tower is all over the place, with the clear wave can ripple out of infinite poetry, the shadow of Boya Tower in the unnamed lake is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the students of Peking University, no wonder the people of Peking University call the landscape here "the shadow of the lake and the tower".

The majestic Boya Tower, the surrounding pines and cypresses, and the sparkling Weiming Lake form a major landscape of Yan Garden. Due to the ingenious location of the building, inside and outside Peking University, from the beams and columns, between the ancient trees, it is seen from time to time, which adds a bit of beauty and magic. Boyata is like a weathered old man, standing silently by the lake, watching the changes of the wind and clouds, the locked tower door, like the old man's closed heart, contains the long years of life.

The heavenly combination of the lake and the tower is a stroke of genius on the shore of the unnamed lake, always philosophical, always intriguing. It can be said that the shadow of the lake and the tower has become an immortal myth in the scenery of Yanyuan, the lake and the tower have a soul, and their souls are the souls of thousands of Peking University people, and they are also the souls of Peking University. Boya Tower absorbs the wisdom and aura of thousands of Peking University students, its status in Peking University has far exceeded the tower itself, if the Weiming Lake is the eye of Peking University, then Boya Tower is the blazing pupil, the word "Boya" condenses the most immortal totem in the soul of Peking University. Many Peking University people often write in their words full of sincerity: "The school has liberal arts, and the tower has a spirit." This kind of spirit is the "Bo" of Peking University and the "Ya" of Peking University.

It is said that there are some interesting things about the construction of Boya Tower in Peking University, and no one thought that the Boya Tower to be built at that time would be so famous in later generations.

In July 1924, Yenching University (now Peking University's site was once Siat's Yenching University) urgently needed to build a water tower in order to supply water to the whole university. At that time, it was proposed that an ancient tower-like water tower should be built in the classical buildings of Yanyuan in order to harmonize it with the scenery of Weiming Lake. This suggestion was quite controversial at the time, because ancient pagodas were mostly built in temples in ancient China, and whether it was appropriate to build them on school campuses was still a question. Later, Colonel Yan solicited opinions from the celebrities at that time, and only after receiving approval did he decide to build a tower-type water building. Time has passed, and in today's view, what was a controversial proposal at the time has become an eternal classic among China's top universities. The inside of the water tower is empty, only there is water on the upper and lower levels. From now on, no building at Yenching University can be taller than the Boya Tower, because the Boya Tower is the symbol of Yenching University!

Boyata became a symbol of Peking University, something that no one at the time had ever imagined.

Li Lu, a famous post-70s poet, has a poem written about Weiming Lake in Peking University, and the name of the poem is "Weiming Lake in Peking University".

I love standing on an island in the middle of a lake and listening to your Boeing

Never cared that Rusting didn't leave me with a smile

Because appreciate your sparkle

I had fantasized that I had become a goldfish, a water lily and a boyata

In your vast U-shaped arm

I realized my ignorance and insignificance

I like to wander around the curved shore and enjoy your pretty pictures

I never cared that the stone boat didn't have my footprints printed

Because I love your oceans

I once dreamed that I had become the Bell Pavilion, the Linhu Pavilion and the Flower Temple

In your weathered history

I think of Qianlong and Shen and the Qing Dynasty

Lin Yu walked while looking at the Boya Tower in the distance.

At a glance, Boyata gave Lin Yu the feeling of one word - high.

Lin Yu looked at the spirit and symbol of China's No. 1 university, and felt both excited and a little emotional.

Lin Yu regretted that he did not become a member of this school in his previous life, this time, since he came, he did not seek to be vigorous, but he could not waste four years like his college career in the previous life.

"Boyata, Weiming Lake......" Lin Yu remembered the last sentence of Li Lu's poem, shook his head, and smiled dumbly.

"Mr. Lin, what's wrong? Uncomfortable? Seeing Lin Yu shaking his head, Liang Shiqi asked suspiciously.

"No, it's not, I just thought about something and thought it was funny.

"Oh? Tell me something. Liang Shiqi said with interest.

Lin Yu looked at the Boya Tower in the distance, and said with little emotion: "Weiming, Boya and Peking University, in your weathered history, I think of Qianlong and Shen and the Qing Dynasty. ”

Weiming, Boya and Peking University, Qianlong and Shen and Qing Dynasty.

The scenery of Peking University and the history of Peking University.

As a top student of Peking University, Liang Shiqi certainly knows the history of Boya Tower, Weiming Lake and Peking University, but it is the first time Liang Shiqi has heard of them like this when the international student who has just returned from abroad tells them.

After listening to Lin Yu's story, Liang Shiqi couldn't help but look at the Boya Tower in the distance, which looked tall, like an old man, telling his life.

After looking at it for a while, Liang Shiqi turned her face to look at the boy in front of her, although he was immature, but the boy with deep eyes seemed to be wrapped in it, which made people unable to see clearly and made people curious.

But the girl doesn't know that when a woman is curious about a boy, there will always be some stories that produce an ending, and this ending will be happy or sad, but I don't know what the ending will be if it is only once?

Liang Shiqi didn't know that she had already been destined by God to have an ending, and no one who wanted to break free could break free.

No matter how much you struggle, it is also to make this story more twists and turns, and make this ending more tragic or touching.

Looking at the boy in front of her, Liang Shiqi found that her heart was throbbing a little for the first time.
