巍巍西岳华山,其北麓陡然与渭河平原相衔。一个隶属于陕西省华县的小村落——龙潭堡,就座落在这山脚下。112年前,村里的一门杨姓望族家里诞生了一个男孩。20年后,他跨出家门考入了北京大学,从此开始了科学之路的求索历程;他,就是我们国家古脊椎动物学的开山之士——杨钟健先生。今天,杨老离开我们已经30周年了,但他为中国科学事业建下的功勋,依然如这华山一般耸立在天地之间。 Towering Xishan Huashan, the northern foot of the Weihe plain with the title phase. A small village attached to Huaxian County in Shaanxi Province - Longtan Fort, was located at the foot of this mountain. 112 years ago, a boy was born in a family of Yang family in the village. Twenty years later, he took his home and entered Peking University, where he started his search for a scientific way; he is the founder of the ancient vertebrate zoology in our country, Mr. Yang Zhongjian. Today, Yang Lao left us already 30 years ago, but his contribution to the cause of science in China still stands as Huashan between heaven and earth.
