A future college student shows admission letter of Jiangnan University.

　　一位準大學生展示了江南大學(分數線,專業設置)的錄取通知書。

　　Instead of the usual formal acceptance letters, future college students across China have been impressed by what they have received this summer: delicately designed, hand-crafted admission letters.

　　今年夏天，各地考生收到的錄取通知書不像往年那樣正式，這些別出心裁、手工制作的通知書給準大學生們留下了深刻的印象。

　　School authorities said the change is to show care and respect to students, as well as to spread distinct cultures of different schools.

　　校方說，這一變化是為了表示對學生們的關心和尊重，也是為了傳播各大高校的不同文化。

　　"I never expected an admission letter could be so beautiful. It’s the first gift from my university and made me imagine the wonderful college life ahead," said Wang Wen’ou, who will attend Jiangnan University, in Wuxi City, eastern China’s Jiangsu Province.

　　“沒想到錄取通知書這么好看。這是學校給我的第一份禮物，我開始想象接下來美好的大學生活了，”將去中國東部江蘇省無錫市江南大學上學的王文歐（音）說道。

　　The letter from the university is a folded card, featuring a pencil sketch of a small bridge over a stream, a common scene in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

　　江南大學的通知書是一張折疊的卡片，上面有河流和小橋的素描畫，這是長江下游地區常見的景色。

　　Inside the card is a Tang Dynasty (618-907) poem called "Jiangnan in Memory," accompanied by a sketch of lotus flowers.

　　打開卡片，里面寫有一首唐代（618年-907年）的古詩《憶江南》，以及蓮花的素描圖。

　　"Before the college entrance examination, I wrote down the poem and stuck the paper on my desk. Now, I have found the poem on my admission letter," said netizen "Nekola."

　　“在高考之前，我把《憶江南》這首詩貼在了書桌上。現在，我又在錄取通知書上看到了這首詩，”網友Nekola說道。

　　Some agricultural colleges designed their admission letters in a rustic style. For example, the letter from Beijing Forestry University uses part of a real leaf on its craft-paper cover.

　　一些農業大學將錄取通知書設計成鄉村風格。比如北京林業大學(分數線,專業設置)將真的葉子放置牛皮紙封面上。

　　The Communication University of China invited award-winning calligraphy students to handwrite the names of new students on the letters, hoping they will make the newcomers feel special.

　　中國傳媒大學(分數線,專業設置)邀請獲獎的書法學生將新生的姓名手寫在通知書上，希望新生們會感到學校的別有用心。

　　A distinctive admissions letter presents an impressive image of the college for new students and builds a good reputation among high school students, as universities increasingly compete for students, said Liu He, an official in charge of recruitment at Jilin University.

　　吉林大學(分數線,專業設置)負責招生的工作人員劉賀（音）表示，在各大學校競爭越來越激烈的時代，與眾不同的錄取通知書向新生們展示了學校的形象，也在高中生中建立了良好的信譽。

　　Some universities also delivered gifts to the new students with the admission letters. For example, the prestigious Tsinghua University gave copies of Henry David Thoreau’s "Walden" to promote good reading habits, said its president Qiu Yong.

　　有些大學還在通知書里附贈了禮物。比如，著名的清華大學(分數線,專業設置)將亨利·大衛·梭羅的《瓦爾登湖》附贈給新生，校長邱勇表示這樣做是為了鼓勵學生們養成良好的閱讀習慣。
