Meng Jiao in Tang Dynasty wrote in his poem After Graduation: "Spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, and you can see all the Chang 'an flowers in one day". The poem vividly describes that once the ancient literati reached the first place in the imperial examination, their fate changed immediately and soared from then on. Yes, Chang 'an was admitted to the university, and the literati who had been hanging all the time finally fell into practice. Naturally, it is the spring breeze that blows over their faces and makes them feel comfortable. The scenery of Kyoto, which is usually too busy to watch because of studying hard at the cold window, has now become particularly charming. Under such circumstances, the excitement will inevitably be fully vented, and the mind will naturally breed the elegance of seeing all the Chang' an flowers in one day. These two poems have successfully created a handsome, arrogant and almost crazy scholar image. Chang 'an, the place with flowers mentioned in the poem, is now Xi 'an, Shaanxi!
Chang 'an has been the capital of emperors since ancient times. Like Luoyang, Kaifeng, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Beijing, Xi is an ancient city. But compared with other ancient capitals, Xi 'an has many things to be proud of: First, it was the earliest time to build its capital; Second, the capital has the most dynasties, * * * has 13 dynasties. Third, the capital has the longest history, reaching 1062, while Beijing has only 600 years of history; Fourthly, China is the first metropolis with a population of one million, and it is also the first metropolis to implement urban construction and management. At the same time, Xi 'an is as famous as Athens, Cairo, Rome and Istanbul, and is one of the five famous ancient capitals in the world.
Xi 'an is really too old. She has come all the way from the fog of history, and there are too many legends hanging over her. For example, Zhou Youwang smiled and praised Princess Boai, boarded the beacon tower of Mount Li in the eastern suburb of Xi, lit a bonfire to play the prince, which eventually led to the disaster of national subjugation, leaving only the allusion of "one smile is beautiful, and two smiles are beautiful". Xi has a long history and culture, which makes it easy for those well-known celebrities, street customs, poems and songs to jump out thousands of years ago and become oncoming scenery. You see, Qin Shihuang, who was all-powerful all his life, was buried in Lintong District in the east of Xi 'an after the dust settled. The famous "The Rule of Wenjing" was made by Guy, the emperor of Hanyang Mausoleum, lying on the roadside leading to the North International Airport. Perhaps, in the twilight, you can vaguely see that Tang Xuanzang, who returned from the Western Heaven, is translating scriptures and learning Buddhism in the Wild Goose Pagoda ... Xi is a mysterious city.
Today, there are more than 40 colleges and universities in Xi 'an, which is a real "university town". Xi 'an's universities not only have complete disciplines, but also have high scientific research level. Not only are there rich basic disciplines, but also high-tech frontier disciplines are very prominent. Xi 'an's university disciplines cover the fields of industry, agriculture, medicine, literature, science, law, philosophy, economics and history. At the same time, they also have a group of experts and professors with profound academic attainments and a certain reputation at home and abroad. Generally speaking, Xi 'an's colleges and universities have obvious advantages in engineering, and are famous for their old majors such as machinery, electronics, metallurgy, architecture, light industry, textiles, aviation, petroleum, coal, water conservancy, electric power, transportation and agriculture. At the same time, Xi 'an's colleges and universities have also established and developed a number of new disciplines and specialties that are leading in the country, such as cultural relics technology, aerospace technology, material science, environmental science, system engineering, computer and so on. Xi 'an's colleges and universities are generally established institutions under ministries and commissions, which have a high reputation at home and abroad.
Studying in Xi is different from studying in a prosperous and fashionable city like Beijing and Shanghai. In contrast, what you can feel may be more simple and dignified, steady and generous. As far as the distribution of colleges and universities is concerned, most colleges and universities in Xi are concentrated in the southern suburbs, western suburbs and eastern suburbs. Famous schools in the southern suburbs include Shaanxi Normal University, xi International Studies University, Xi Institute of Posts and Telecommunications, Xi Jiaotong University (School of Economics and Finance, Medical College), Chang 'an University (Xiaozhai Campus), Xi Conservatory of Music, Xi Institute of Physical Education, Xi Academy of Fine Arts, Xi Youshi University, Xi 'an University of Architecture and Technology, and Xi 'an Institute of Science and Technology. There are Xi Jiaotong University, Xi University of Technology, Xi Institute of Engineering and Technology and the Fourth Military Medical University in the western suburbs. In the eastern suburbs, there are xidian university, Northwestern University and Northwestern Polytechnical University. Because these universities are relatively concentrated, Xi 'an's bus company even opened an education line to shuttle between major universities. In recent years, due to the continuous expansion of university scale, many universities in Xi 'an have built a second campus in the southern suburbs and put it into use.
For ordinary students, studying abroad in Xi 'an may be more about studying, living and tuition. Next, let's take a look at some situations in this regard.
