Photos of the object, Tsinghua garden people are very familiar with, is the second gate in the north, the southern tip of the grass in front of the auditorium stands Tsinghua sundial.
Tsinghua sundial, sundial another name 1920, is an important monument of Tsinghua University. According to Tsinghua University Press, "Tsinghua University Park scenery," reads: school auditorium located on the front lawn at the southern end of the classical timers - sundial, the original Yuanmingyuan relics, dedicated to his alma mater when the 1920 session of the graduate students.

This photograph, giving the impression that there are two strange place:
(1) was originally a sundial carved white marble base body, in the photo is full of dark, smoky just been feeling too. Coupled with a sunset backdrop background light, as if it is a piece of the sky falling on the ground just a stone being hit the ground. High speed through the atmosphere is burning black;
(2) at the base side, should be engraved with the year 1920 text, it is clear: CEASS 1920.

For the art of photography, everyone will have their own opinion. On this picture, slander risking people's minds the image of a clean white original sundial, its deliberately rendering that depressed look, seems to want to give future generations revealed that this sundial from the ruins of the Old Summer Palace, Tsinghua Simon.
But the question is, which is the original sundial black color? . After 1860, British and French troops burned the Yuanmingyuan, after one cycle, 1920 Tsinghua graduates this abandoned garden in the western suburbs of Beijing Tsinghua sundial moved, there will be traces of smoke on the white marble monument body do?

Perhaps the above photo was taken, only by means of a single day in the evening, the sun sets and blocking the sundial, in the afterglow of the sun sundial surface of the cover liner suddenly reveals its face the vicissitudes of life after the catastrophe.
By means of rendering natural light photos, passed national humiliation education purpose of this is good. For most students from Tsinghua University, Tsinghua sundial and visitors came to the front license plate souvenir, the concept of the sundial is connected, that is, in front of the base of the carving.

This picture Huoshaohuoliao sundial will "speak louder than words," the historical moment thinking Lens stretched to the British and French invaders in Yuanmingyuan large facilities despotic power, my mind revealing those
Unreasonable, just hands grabbing hideous face, this time my heart is felt even more weird.
For the photo "CEASS" character, it should be clear that future generations will be "L" deliberately add two horizontal, into a "E". It is said now by the Tsinghua garden managers will be re-patched changed to "L".
Finally, once again to express my point of view it: do not optimistic about this picture. It feels good picture, to understand its contents strange. If you just think it's tone and the six teach the wall close to as good as hanging a giant chocolate.
