From the student to the teacher, her ten years at Peking University

Author:Beijing University Time:2022.06.27

At Peking University, a professional teacher and student will visit ancient architectural treasures on Huaxia in the next year in the following semester to find the cultural passwords hidden behind the temples, ancient towers, gardens, residential houses, and palace. Building direction.

Examining ancient buildings from the perspective of archeological research and the perspective of heritage protection is Yu Lina's business at Peking University. After exploring the beauty of architecture with another perspective, she returned to this world of familiarity with a wider mind and vision. The growth of the architectural direction of Peking University.

"Hit" into the life world of ancient buildings

Entering the Archaeological Board Academy and the professionalism of cultural relics architecture, it is more like Yu Lina's experience in the new world by accident.

Yu Lina, who had excellent academic performance at the middle school stage, entered Peking University in 2008, but did not find a real sense of belonging in the major that he first studied. A classmate at the Archaeological Board Academy I met in high school classes opened a window for the first exploring cultural relics architecture for her. After the finish school, she chose to transfer to the cultural relic architecture.

Unlike those students who have a deep understanding of archeology and cultural relics before entering college, Yu Lina enters this major with a relatively hazy interest. Then, the significance of this field and the discipline system meaning Gradually clearer in her consciousness.

The major of cultural relics architecture belongs to a cross -disciplinary discipline of liberal arts and science. The relevant knowledge of architecture, archeology, and history is involved. The college entrance examination enrollment is only for science students. After turning the department, Yu Lina, as a liberal arts student, was facing the challenge of the "architectural design" course for 4 consecutive semesters in addition to the basic courses of the Archaeological Board Academy. In these courses, a set of architectural design schemes must invest a lot of time and energy, sometimes one after another, at the time they described this process as "boiled chart".

From a utilitarian perspective, there are not many credits for the "Architecture Design" course, and most of the students who study courses have not entered the field of architectural design. At that time, students who felt "painful" could not help but doubt the significance of elective these courses. Essence

But now Yu Lina thinks about the undergraduate experience, and can't help feeling that these courses are the basis for the later academic research -it gives Yu Lina's perspective of "designer" and the space perception of ancient buildings when examining ancient buildings. This is One perspective quickly played a role in junior internships.

Cultural relics architecture focuses on the combination of basic theory and internship practice. Each student will have a "cultural heritage inspection and surveying and mapping internship" in the third grade of the undergraduate.

It was during this semester that Yu Lina was like a conversation that spans time and space. Through the material information that could not speak, the ancient craftsman created the concept. When she really climbed up the beams through the scaffolding and touched architectural components, the knowledge learned in the class before was no longer a pan -talk; her understanding of ancient architecture was no longer macro and general.

A building can be survived to the present, and it is inseparable from the maintenance of people and society, and a building itself is an important link between the relationship between people and maintaining people and people.

The interactive relationship between the building's relics to the interaction between the building and the surrounding population, in the sense of time, space, material, and culture, an ancient building in Yu Lina's mind is three -dimensional and fresh.

From curiosity to knowledge, from knowledge to culture. For the fine inspection and surveying of the building, it is a question of the history of the life of the building, and it is also a valuable information for the protection of architectural protection for today and future generations.

During the internship, Yu Lina's team carried out key surveying and mapping and research on the Hall of Wanrong County, Wanrong County, Shanxi, and obtained a very exciting discovery. The team discovered the title of Mo Shu during the Northern Song Dynasty in the Hall of the King Temple. This era was also identified by metaphysics and carbon fourteen measures. It confirmed that Wanrong's King Temple Hall is the only existing building in the existing Northern Song Dynasty. This unforgettable experience has made Yu Lina firmly determine her determination to continue exploring in this field, and choose to further study.

Cross the ocean, test a new journey

The idea of going to Japan's studies was a seminar on the protection of China, Japan and South Korea's architectural heritage protection during the senior year of Yu Lina. At this meeting, she found that although the traditional architecture of the Three Kingdoms is the same wooden building system, scholars from different countries have a big difference in vision of ancient buildings.

The meeting made her overwhelmed. She decided to go abroad to take a look, so she began to learn Japanese, went to Japanese Waseda University to study a doctorate degree, and continued to carry out ancient architectural research.

Yu Lina, who was new to Japan, was not very adaptable. On the one hand, her foreign language communication ability was limited, and on the other hand, she was because of the differences in discipline thinking.

The cultural relics architecture of Peking University Archaeological Board Academy often draws on the research methods of archeological types in academic traditions to pay attention to the age and shape of ancient architecture. Design of architecture.

After a period of adaptation, Yu Lina realized that she temporarily put down her previous familiar Chinese architectural history vision and research paradigm, and changed from the perspective of "others" to examine the original thinking habits of Japanese architecture, and truly entered Japanese architecture. In the discourse system, it is the correct way to "open" a Chinese student who came to Japan to study architecture. Waseda University Myanmar Architecture Investigation (2019)

The History History Research Office of Waseda University has a mature group meeting, which is also a new thing for her to challenge and gain. At the weekly group, she needs to share her recent research experience and listen to the opinions of others; she also needs to understand the research content of others and give her opinion. This also urged her to understand the research of her classmates, not only immersed in her research.

Yu Lina tried to combine the archeological type of method and architectural design technical analysis method to complete the doctoral dissertation of the Tibetan Scripture architecture of the Chinese and Japanese temples, and explained the problems of the communication and absorption of ancient construction technology of China and Japan from the Tibetan Scripture Architecture.

Grow with the majors of cultural relics architecture

Cultural Relics Architecture, Peking University Archaeological Board Institute, was established in 1998. It is a relatively young professional direction in the academic tradition of Peking University archeology. Cultural relics construction is enrolled the following year, and each undergraduate students are about ten. Such a "short and powerful" system makes students of this major have deep feelings and strong cohesion in the day and night.

In addition to daily frequent academic exchanges, cultural heritage investigation and surveying and mapping internships are still a wonderful time to enhance the "revolutionary friendship" between teachers and classmates. In this process, Yu Lina once again lamented her growth. During a semester of internships, the transportation methods of traveling between places, dining places for three meals a day, and places where they stayed overnight when they rushed to the road needed to communicate and finalize them one by one.

The internship was not smooth along the way. On the day of departure, the instrument was lost in front of the school gate. On the way, the van was thrown on the road of scarce smoke on the way ... In the process of dealing with these emergencies with everyone, Yu Lina grew insight, blessed travel skills, and also harvested "to go through" to go through The teacher -student love and classmate feelings of the test of the test.

During this period of thousands of miles, it was not only a trivial matter in these journeys, but also highlights. The teacher of the internship, and later, Xu Yitao, a graduate instructor of Yu Lina, found that after discovering the inscription of the Northern Song Dynasty in Wanrong County, it was difficult to press the excitement in his heart, and he became a poem. In the poem, "tentacles are the sages", the charm and value of cultural relic architecture have made Yu Lina unforgettable. She believes that she has decided to engage in this industry to a large extent.

During the time of studying at Peking University, Yu Lina gradually established an ancient architectural research framework with Peking University archeological characteristics, and also recognized the academic research methods and interests of Peking University's cultural relic architecture. At the same time, the direction of the cultural relics of Peking University, which was not large, continued to grow and grow, and established its own teaching and research team.

After completing a doctorate degree in Japan, Yu Lina got a valuable opportunity to return to Peking University to teach and joined the major of cultural relics architecture in Peking University.

Although the familiar swallow garden is still being familiar with, the transformation from a student to a teacher is also full of challenges for her. Before work, Yu Lina, who was relatively introverted, did not speak well, had no teaching experience, and teaching was a challenge for her.

In the first class, Yu Lina's preparation of the lectures were all information, and she cooperated with the PPT practice draft again and again before the class. After overcoming the initial tension, she found that this method of teaching seemed a bit hard. After the school's new teacher training and listening to colleagues' courses, Yu Lina realized that the lecture did not rely on memory, but depended more on logical organization. In the two and a half years of teaching, Yu Lina focused on logical combing of the content of her curriculum. Now, she has a little more calm about her class.

Back to this group of cultural relic architecture again, Yu Lina has changed from a former student to a leader. In addition to lectures, she will also chat with her classmates, answer the confusion of schoolwork and personal growth in the statement, and do a good job of safety guarantee for everyone in the process of led the team, guide younger ancient architects. I also touch those Liangdong brick tiles carrying historical and cultural passwords.

After studying and teaching, Yu Lina has spent ten years at Peking University. In her eyes, the characteristics of Peking University students are probably their own characteristics: some people have good thinking and expression ability, some people are inside and deep ... Yu Lina, who stands among these people Not so prepared and easy.

Fortunately, there are no different people around her, but those who are also exploring herself and exploring the world, spurring herself constantly seeking knowledge and exploring.

The pulse of the knowledge and feelings of architecture and people, ancient and present, and the small world of Yanyuan is the place where her body is settled.
