atmosphere, Zhejiang University is an ideal place for teaching,
research, and learning. With five campuses, namely Zijingang, Yuquan,
Xixi, Huajiachi, and Zhijiang, the university now occupies a total area
of 518 hectares and a floor space of over 2,000,000 square meters. At
present, the total number of full time students has reached over 39,000,
including more than 22,900 undergraates, over 9,500 postgraates
working for master's degrees and over 6,600 Ph.D. candidates. There are
also nearly 37,000 students taking courses in degree and non-degree
programs in alt ecation. Among its 8,400 staff members and workers,
there are 13 members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 13 members of
the Chinese Academy of Engineering, over 1,200 full professors and over
2,400 associate professors. With a total space of 83,000 square meters,
the university library has a collection of more than 5,840,000 volumes.

Zhejiang is blessed with rich cultural heritage. Hemu Culture, which dates back seven thousand years ago, is one of the cradles of Chinese civilization. Hemu was the world's origin of paddy rice cultivation. Liangzhu Culture of 4,200-5,300 years ago, situated near the Taihu Lake and the Qiantang River, was another major peak of proto-Chinese civilization. The inventions of silk and jade carving were Liangzhu man's most important contributions to mankind. In remote antiquity the legendary King Yu braved wind and rain and tamed the flooding rivers. After his death, his remains were buried in Shaoxing. Since Qing Dynasty, the mausoleum and temple of King Yu have become a popular sanctuary for people to worship the legendary hero. In terms of Buddhism, Zhejiang also enjoys high reputation. During the fourth century, Dafo Temple in Xinchang, Asoka Temple and Tiantong Temple in Ningbo, Guoqing Temple in Tiantai, and Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou were very famous.

China is home to chinaware. Zhejiang is the origin of celadon (chinaware with a translucent, pale green glaze). During the 11th and 12th centuries, among five major porcelain-making kilns, two— Longquan Kiln and Hangzhou Official Kiln—were in Zhejiang. It is these famous kilns that propelled the Chinese porcelain-making instry to its pinnacle, making porcelain both practical utensils and works of art, and a major hallmark of ancient Chinese civilization.

Silk, tea and paper-making, too, were so well developed that they endowed the land of Zhejiang with a rich cultural ambience and unique oriental aesthetic flavor.

There are five famous historical and cultural cities at national level in Zhejiang, which are Hangzhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing, Quzhou and Linhai. Hangzhou, the capital city, is one of the seven ancient capital cities in China, and also a famous tourist city.

Thanks to her long history, splendid culture, uniquely favorable natural environment, Zhejiang is worthy of compliments such as "a region of fish and rice, the home of silk, a paradise for tourists and a land of rich cultural heritage", which have been lavished upon her since ancient times.

Folk songs can be heard in the fields, in the mountains, and on the rivers and lakes. Moreover, Zhejiang has various kinds of folk musical instruments. Famous all over the world are "Three Kinds of Carvings and One Kind of Sculpture", namely Dongyang wood carving, Qingtian stone carving, Wenzhou boxwood carving, and Ou sculpture. Dongyang wood carving was most prosperous in the last two feudal dynasties, i.e., the Ming (1368-1644) and the Qing (1644-1911). In terms of craftsmanship, Dongyang wood carving features high relief, multi-layers, well-conceived composition and an effect of solidity. The arrangment of patterns is elaborate yet controlled. Boxwood carving, so named because it is carved out of boxwood, is a sort of circular carving art in Yueqing, Wenzhou. Qingtian stone carving is the shaping of pyrophyllite with which this area is blessed. This kind of stone is colorful and artists design their works based on the specific stone's natural color, texture and shape so that the final procts are a harmony of nature and art. Wenzhou Ou sculpture has a history of more than 1,000 years. It is also known as "oil sludge sculpture". Folk artists carve human figures or objects out of oil sludge plastered on plain boards or walls, looking both like oil paintings and relief. Besides, Zhejiang is also known for other folk arts such as paper-cutting, embroidery, dyeing, weaving and colored lanterns. The farmers' paintings from Xiuzhou in Jiaxing, Cixi in Ningbo and fishermen's paintings from Zhoushan are well known throughout the country. Folk dance, music, instrumental music, opera and various other forms of folk art including ballad singing, story telling, comic dialogues, clapper talk and cross talk present unique features and styles and have drawn wide attention. The province is famous for its flourishing folk culture. As a result, a number of "Nationally Advanced Cultural Counties", "National Model Cultural Areas", "Home of Folk Paintings in China" and "Home of Folk Art in China" have emerged throughout the province.
