Recently, the "Daze Zone" set up in the Guangzhou campus library of Guangdong University of Finance and Economics (hereinafter referred to as "Guangcai") became popular and became a hot search topic on Weibo.
The reporter visited and found that many students study here to prepare for exams and take a break, and some students from Guangcai Sanshui Campus came here specifically to "check in." Wu, a student majoring in Chinese language and literature at Guangcai, likes to wander around the "daze zone" every time he goes to the library. "You can see the football team training and the students running on the playground nearby, and you can see the 'small waist' in the distance. The 'daze zone' gives me a wonderful experience. Looking at the various landmark symbols with the meaning of Guangzhou and Guangcai, it constructs my existence here bit by bit." Chen Yang said, students here answer the phone, endorse loudly, blow the breeze, and be in a daze, and the name of the "daze zone" is very cute, which makes people smile. In addition, the seating styles on each floor of the school library are different, adding freshness and interest to the students' learning experience. For example, the seventh floor is a more modern cubicle with lamps in each cubicle, while the sixth floor is "retro style" and the seats are softer. "The essence of daze is 'thinking about life'. The main purpose of setting up the 'daze area' is to provide students with a place to relax, unwind and inspire inspiration after studying." Wang Zhongzheng, director of the library of Guangdong University of Finance and Economics, said that in the "daze area" students can overlook, talk and communicate, move around freely, eat and rest. They can also look at the scenery of the Guangzhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Experimental Zone and the Zhujiang New Town CBD and let their dreams fly.
It is reported that the Guangcai Guangzhou campus library covers an area of 33,000 square meters, with more than 6,000 visitors per day during peak periods. It is a popular learning and exchange place for teachers and students. It is open 105 hours a week and provides more than 6,500 seats to meet the diverse needs of readers. It has clear functional positioning and characteristics in terms of spatial layout. Currently, the library has 6 "daze areas" for students to relax and relax. The "daze area" is adjacent to the learning and reading area and supports each other. The "Daze Area" is now equipped with outdoor leisure tables, chairs, green plants and other facilities. The library is planning to beautify and renovate the "Daze Area" to incorporate elements of the times and traditions to make the "Daze Area" more in line with the needs of young students. "The unexpected popularity of 'Daze Zone' in hot searches reflects the widespread 'daze need' among young people. Young people are generally faced with greater pressure from study and work. Their bodies and minds are often in a state of high load and mental stress, and they lack time and space to relax. The 'involution' atmosphere even makes some young people feel self-blame for leisure and entertainment and dare not relax."
Wang Wenlong, deputy director of the Guangcai Psychological Counseling Center, analyzed that the setting up of the "daze zone" not only creates an environment for students to relax physically and mentally, but also has a more important significance in justifying the name of "daze" and telling everyone that being in a daze is not "fishing", let alone "lying down". Being in a daze is just a way to take a break from the busy work and quickly recharge, and everyone can legitimately be in a daze. He believes that the love for "daze zones" shows that contemporary young people use a simple and positive way to deal with stress, which deserves recognition and encouragement. He suggests that more schools and workplaces also try to set up "daze zones" to meet young people's "daze needs." (Yangcheng Evening News)
