Item Name: The Old Gate of No.4 High School Brief Introduction:
Built in 1930, the old gate of Beijing No.4 High is completed during the same period as the school hall. It was originally located in the east of our school, No.__ of Xishiku Alley. There has been a gate of the playground to the north of the old school gate. Walking through the Old School Gate, the mail office can be seen at the right hand side. Right in the opposite locates the second gate with corridor, right of which sits the old office of headmaster. The old school gate is clearly outlined with grey bricks, representing simplicity and sobriety. The combination of straight lines and curves perfectly creates the rhythm of architecture; the details of the indoor decorations are also full of rich meanings. The old School Gate is a classic work of modern Beijing architecture.
The Old School Gate was torn down in 1997 because of the school expansion. To keep its original scene, the Beijing No.4 High School Alumni Association and Alumni Foundation advocated rebuilding an exact duplication of the old gate in the current place which is on the road to the playground. This proposal is supported by the management team of school and funded by the donation of the Alumni Association and Alumni Foundation.
Rock of Motto
In commemoration of the centenary anniversary, Beijing No.4 High School acquired a great moraine in the year of 2006, from Jiuzhi County, Qinghai Province, where Yangtze River and Yellow River start to flow separately. Engraved with the school motto from Wang Daoyuan, the first President of our school, the rock is designed to inspire the students to work hard and make contributions to the peace and development of our nation and all human beings. The School Motto: Diligence, Meticulosity, Democracy and Innovation.
As soon as Mr. Wang Daoyuan, the first principal of the school, took office, he instructed students to “learn science, learn about the world, and learn how to be a real man”. :

It expresses vividly that team spirit is the key to success.

The Old Headmaster’s Office
The Old Headmaster’s Office was built earlier than the old School Hall (which is completed in 1930). However, the specific year is unknown. The interior design emphasizes simplicity, space and brightness. Located in front of a square, the Old Headmaster’s Office affords a broader view. There have been a line of bungalows to the northeast of it, used as the office for general affairs. To the southeast of the old Headmaster Office is the second School Gate. The Headmaster’s Office stands in the shades of the trees, as the best example of modesty. However, it is also highly respectful and endearing in the bottom of students’ hearts.
Proposed by the Alumni Association and Alumni Foundation and under the support of school management team, the old Headmaster Office was rebuilt in 1992.
