文物特色
      畅春园东北界碑上刻有“畅春园东北界”六个大字。该界碑既是“三山五园”初始建设地的见证,也是北大校内园林水源的地标。
 
历史溯源
      2001 年兴建畅春园宿舍时,石碑被移至北大校园西南角外火神庙(今大明眼镜店)院内。
 
Distinguishing feature
      Inscribed on the tablet are six characters: Chang Chun Yuan Dong Bei Jie (Changchun Garden Northeastern Boundary). The tablet is not only a witness to the initial construction area of “Three Hills and Five Gardens”, but also a significant landmark of the water source of the campus gardens.
 
History
      The Changchun Garden Northeastern Boundary Tablet was originally in front of the south gate of today’s Changchun Garden (Joyful Spring Garden) dining hall. When the Changchun Garden dormitory was in construction in 2001, it was moved into the Fire God Temple (present-day Daming Glass Store) outside the southwest corner of the campus.
