Cambridge is a place name that is a combination of transliteration and free translation, which means the bridge over the Cam River. There is indeed a Cam River here, forming a large arc in the city and flowing to the northeast. Bridges of various styles were built on the river, so people named the city Cambridge.

Cambridge was born when monks settled here in the 12th century. It was not until the founding of the University of Cambridge that the town's name became known. This small town, with a population of more than 100,000 residents, is composed of various colleges of the University of Cambridge, so it has a strong historical atmosphere.

Although many medieval buildings have been preserved here, the appearance of Cambridge as a whole is still bright and modern. Like other British cities, Cambridge's business is also prosperous, but it still retains its typical English pastoral scenery. The numerous theaters, art galleries, museums and other facilities that seem disproportionate to the size of the city give this university town a strong literary and artistic atmosphere.

In Cambridge, you can fully appreciate the centuries-old tradition and history of this school, communicate with young students, and have time to walk around the market and experience this. The pulse of a wonderful city.

Introduction to the University of Cambridge

The University of Cambridge was founded in 1209, and the college appeared in 1284. Now, Cambridge has 31 colleges, three women's colleges, and two specialized graduate schools. Each college has a different historical background. Each college is like a mini-university to a certain extent, with its own school rules and disciplines. The University of Cambridge has 62 departments. There are more than 6 million books in the library. The degrees of the University of Cambridge are divided into: diploma, junior degree (bachelor), advanced degree (master or doctorate).

This world-famous university located in the north of London has no walls or school signs. Cambridge colleges are scattered throughout the city and integrated with Cambridge. There is no complete campus in the usual sense, but It can also be said that the entire city of Cambridge is its campus. The entire campus is lush and charming. The Jian River, which runs north to south, is slightly curved and passes through the city. Along the banks of the weeping willows, there is an idyllic atmosphere. Sitting on a hand-held flat-bottomed boat and slowly admiring the attractions of the university town has long become a tradition and characteristic of Cambridge. The Jian River is very shallow and crystal clear, and the fish in the water are clearly visible. It's a great place to kayak as the sun sets. The riverside meadows and paths are a great place for couples to stroll, sit and talk. The "most spiritual" Jianhe, whether it is green in summer or yellow in autumn, is always so leisurely and contented, full of tenderness. No wonder Xu Zhimo, a talented scholar at that time, wrote in his poem "Farewell to Cambridge" that "I am willing to be a waterweed in the soft waves of the Cam River", which is really a deep understanding of the Cambridge tradition.

The beauty of Cambridge combines the tranquility of the countryside and the exquisiteness of classical architecture, highlighting its characteristics across the ages. It is a combination of old and new, full of contrasts, and the scenery changes throughout the seasons. Narrow and quiet alleys sometimes open up into vast courtyards. The bustling city and the majestic university are located next to each other. On both sides of the river, cattle, sheep and ancient churches complement each other. The richness of the architecture of the past dynasties can still be seen in the small town. The worries of the ancient Chinese people in the world have been resolved into a tranquil beauty surrounding the city.

For hundreds of years, the University of Cambridge has been famous for its excellent educational quality. There are many talented people here, and the stars are shining brightly. Not to mention the long list of natural scientists such as Newton, Darwin, and Hawking, it has also cultivated a large number of pillars in the social sciences. Philosopher Bacon (his famous saying "knowledge is power"), economist Keynes, historian Trevelyan, and writer Thackeray all studied at Cambridge and eventually became great figures. The school's Milton, Byron, Tennyson and others are the laurels and pride of the country of poetry. Cambridge also produced seven prime ministers. Indian Prime Minister Nehru and British Crown Prince Charles also studied here. Cambridge graduates are found in politics, business and academia. Some people say that Oxford and Cambridge rule Britain, and there seems to be some truth to it. Over the years, 82 Nobel Prize winners have come from Cambridge, more than twice as many as Oxford.

For those who set foot on this land for the first time, walking on the streets of Cambridge will give rise to a long-lost urge to return to campus. Perhaps it is this inexplicable touch that is the real charm of Cambridge University...
