文物特色
从西校门南行不远，在柏油路两侧，摆放着两块汉白玉长条石刻。石刻呈须弥座形，略有弧度。上层饰莲瓣纹，束腰饰 S形纹，底部正中饰蝠形纹，四角饰卷草纹。
历史溯源
该石刻原为圆明园西洋楼建筑群中海晏堂门前的引水石槽。西洋楼位于圆明园中的长春园北界，是我国最早的欧式巴洛克风格园林建筑群；清乾隆十二年（1747）开始筹划建设，四十八年（1783）最终完工。海晏堂位于西洋楼园区中部，主楼前广场上建有大名鼎鼎的十二生肖铜像喷泉，而海晏堂正门两侧，连接喷泉雕像与储水池“锡海”的则是叠落式的引水石槽。根据传世的海晏堂铜版画来看，引水石槽的位置应位于生肖铜像上方。清末圆明园罹难，西洋楼损毁殆尽。引水石槽从圆明园流出后，曾作为燕园西墙外万泉河上篓斗桥的桥栏。后万泉河改道，不再流经西门外，篓斗桥也随之废弃，而引水石槽被摆放在西门内直到如今。
Distinguishing feature

History
They used to be the gutter in front of the Haiyan Tang (Hall of Calm Sea) in the middle of the Xiyang Lou area. In the plaza in front of the Haiyan Tang was the celebrated Twelve Bronze Animal Heads Fountain. According to the extant copperplate etching of the Haiyan Tang, the gutter must have been located on top of the bronze animal heads.
