Bodleian Library

The Bodori Library of Oxford University is the general library of Oxford University. It is one of the oldest libraries in Europe (opened in 1602) and the second largest library in the UK after the British Library. It is one of the six statutory libraries in the UK. All Oxford publications will be automatically sent to this collection when published. There are many branches under the library, of which Radcliffe Camera branch has become an important landmark of Oxford University. There are many books stored here. Students who are not Oxford University can also visit. The Hakatori Library consists of a group of buildings of different historical periods and different styles, and is said to have underground channels between the buildings.

In many ways this is the building I consider to be the most iconic when thinking of Oxford, The architecture of this ancient university city is quite remarkable and has contributed to this city's continuing sense of grandeur and learning.

The Bodeleian Library is a large arch-vouched dome building, an iconic building in Oxford. The circular library appears in the picture. It is known to be in Oxford. The library is the architectural style of the Roman Pantheon, but it is not open to tourists. Only Oxford University personnel can enter by access control, and there are many tourists taking pictures outside.

it was wonderful to see all the beautiful architecture and old building knowing that this is such a famous university and center of learning

a brilliant building that looks almost magical + on a beautiful street in Oxford

We also visited the Oxford University Library, one of the oldest libraries in Europe. Oxford University Library is one of the most well-stocked libraries because every book published in the UK is available in one volume. It is said that the library of Oxford University has strict collection management. It can only be read, not borrowed, and even the king can not make an exception. That's enough. The area actually consists of three major libraries, including the old Bodley Library, the Redcliffe Library and the new Bodley Library. Look at the old reading room outdoor view of the library called the Redcliffe Arch on Google Maps. The round building, built in 1749, became one of the landmarks of Oxford with its beautiful Baroque architecture. In front of this arch building is a tall church bell tower, which is also one of the landmarks of Oxford. It is called St. Mary's Church. It is the Cathedral of Oxford University. It has a history of nearly a thousand years. Its architecture is magnificent and magnificent. Then we went to the conference room in the old Bodley Library. The tall interior roof is decorated with the family emblems of noble families associated with Oxford University. Although we do not know these family emblems, the roof decoration is also very distinctive. Finally, we enter the new Bodley Library, which belongs to modern architecture. In the spacious and bright hall, we can see the tall bookshelves on the second floor of the library. The neat stacking of all kinds of books gives us a kind of sacred feeling. Perhaps only when we come here can we really realize the implication of "books are the ladder of human progress". There is a cafe in the lobby on the first floor of the library, where many people sit and rest, and others copy things. The New Bodley Library has an exhibition hall, which displays precious collections of which the library is proud. Among these collections are books written in gold letters in the ninth century, works by penicillin inventors, and a "biography of martyrs" text from Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty in China. In places like the Oxford University Library, of course, there are many manuscripts and books of the famous book Alice in Wonderland. Alice in Wonderland is the work of Charles Ludwig Dodgson, the father of modern fairy tales by British writers. Since its publication in 1865, this fairy tale has been loved by readers of different ages all over the world and has been translated into at least 125 languages. It is said that its popularity is second only to that of the Bible and Shakespeare. With the translation of the children, we know more about the exhibits in front of us. There is also a picture of Aung San Suu Kyi in the library. She studied in Oxford in the 1960s and won the honorary doctorate title of Oxford University at the beginning of this century.

It was almost two o'clock in the middle of the night when I came out of my dormitory to the library of Oxford University. I met an undergraduate student, Alvin, with a box of snacks in his hand. We talked briefly. He was a medical undergraduate, and now he is a freshman. Because I was about to take the exam, I had to go back to the library to continue my study. I saw the serious expression on his face, so I quickly said goodbye to him. When I went to Kent University in 2002, it was like this before I took the exam. The same expression, at that time for more than a month without shaving, learning every day until midnight, sometimes an all-night. The road to genius is usually paved with hard work and sweat. If you want to succeed, you must pay the price of extraordinary people. It's 2:13 a.m. at Oxford University. 2:14... Treasure every minute, every second... 2:15...

Walking around the campus of Oxford University in the early morning, we can feel the learning atmosphere here. Besides hard work, there are students here who are self-disciplined and self-confident. They also have a peaceful mind. They are never proud of being the first university student in the world. They just use the most efficient time management method and the spirit of diligence to complete their studies. On the contrary, some universities have their own self-discipline and self-confidence. After graduation, students always mention that they graduated from a certain university to show their identity. It feels that this is the gap between being a man. A good man does not mention being brave at that time. He looks at a person's future instead of always living in the memory of the past. After all, the past has passed. I like to communicate with people who are honest, kind, aggressive, knowledgeable, noble and optimistic. It's already 3:18 in the morning. Time is precious and time is long. Zhigang thinks nothing is more important than realizing his dream. Now it's 3:21 a.m. Good night
