University of Cambridge

柳叶随风VLog
Cambridge University is an open-plan town consisting of 31 independent colleges, of which Trinity College is located in the heart of the town, known as the cradle of prime ministers because of 20 British prime ministers. It is also the alma mater of Apple founder Jobs. The scenery on both sides of the Jianhe River is charming and picturesque, with historic buildings, towering bell towers, exquisite statues, beautiful gardens and so on, all full of strong cultural atmosphere.

Having a boat trip in Cambridge can give a good experience of punting on the River Cam and also get lots of interesting stories about each college at the University of Cambridge. However, the cost of it is quite expensive.

IWM Duxford

The best airplane museum I've ever been to. Incredibly large, with predominantly indoor viewings. Has really unique aircraft like the Concorde, Vulcan, SR71, B52, A10 as well as many many more. The museum stretches about a 10minute walk from the furthest hangars.

Trinity College

There is a statue of Henry VIII at the entrance of Trinity College. There is an apple tree on the green lawn at the entrance of the college, which is the source of Newton's law of "universal gravitation". When you enter the Great Court of the college, the magnificent architecture brings a sense of awe. In the lobby of the church are jade statues of famous graduates from Trinity College, including Newton, Bacon, Tennyson and others.

The Corpus Clock

The clock was a little unclear at night. However, standing in front of it and watching it ticking forward, the psychology is still a little inexplicable nervous. After all, time, no one can control.

Mathematical Bridge

Mathematical Bridge is a bridge in the city of Cambridge, England, which crosses the River of Cambridge University campus, connecting Queen's College on both sides of the River of Cambridge, between Trinity College and Trinity College. Mathematical Bridge is its unofficial name, its official name is simply "wood bridge." The Mathematical Bridge was designed by William Etheridge II and built by James Essex in 1749. The Mathematical Bridge was rebuilt in 1866 and 1905, but the original design did not change. The bridge has now been replaced by a new bridge, with the arrangement of the wooden bars forming an arc, supporting the bridge, and other transverse components forming a triangular structure to hold the bridge. The structure here effectively uses wood without wasting, while borrowing the arch design common to stone bridges, consolidating its structure. However, there are several sources of mathematical bridge design: 1. The bridge is designed by China, and some special mathematical equations are used in the design, because the name of the mathematical bridge is obtained. 2, the bridge is designed by the general students, the design of the bridge (weight and angle number) is very precise, even a nail is not used, a professor saw the bridge after the breathtaking, and wanted to remove the bridge to understand the design of the bridge. However, after the professor removed the bridge, there was no way to use the original design to rebuild the bridge, so the professor used nails to rebuild the bridge. The bridge was designed and built by Newton, and as the second legend, his design did not use the last nail, the students saw the design of the bridge and removed the bridge, but there was no way to rebuild it. But this is not true because Newton died 22 years before the bridge was built.

Thank you Teacher Chen Fan: The knowledge pilot in the British Museum is full of gratitude and admiration. I mentioned this article and wrote it in order to express my deep gratitude to Teacher Chen Fan. If there is no teacher Chen Fan, this trip to the British Museum may just be a flower viewing and flashing for me. Mr. Chen Fan has lived in the UK for 15 years. As an Internet celebrity blogger in the museum field, he is undoubtedly the best guide for our exploration of the British Museum. The British Museum is filled with dazzling exhibits. Teacher Chen Fan is like a walking encyclopedia, and before each exhibit, he can trust the historical story and cultural connotation behind it. From ancient mysterious Egyptian mummies, to exquisite Chinese porcelain, to ancient Greek civilization with unique style, no matter which region, which period of exhibits, he can explain in depth, so that those relics sleeping in the exhibition cabinets can be instantly alive. The deep knowledge reserve, the ancient and modern history and culture of China and abroad, I sincerely praise. During the visit, Mr. Chen Fan not only explained his expertise, but also shared his life experience in the UK and his insights into different cultures, broadening my horizons and giving me a deeper understanding of the diversity of world culture. He patiently answered every question we asked, whether childish or deep, always smiling, gentle and meticulous. Mr. Chen Fan, thank you for opening the door to the British Museum's knowledge with your rich knowledge and making me full of gains on this wonderful journey. Your explanation not only increased my knowledge, but also ignited my passion for historical and cultural exploration. I look forward to more opportunities in the future to continue to explore the wonderful world behind the artifacts under your guidance.
