High-quality connotative development is an inevitable requirement to meet the new round of world scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. At present, the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation in the world has formed a historic intersection with the transformation of China's economic structure, development mode, development focus and development kinetic energy, which will inevitably lead to the deep adjustment of the world political and economic structure, reshape the international competitiveness and leadership of nation-States, subvert the form, division of labor and organizational model of traditional industries, and reconstruct the way of life and production of human beings. Coping with the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is the fundamental basis for determining the development direction, formulating educational policies and deepening comprehensive reform of higher education in China.

High-quality connotative development is an inevitable requirement to meet the needs of regional economic and social development. Higher education is an open, complex and nonlinear social subsystem, which is inextricably linked with the regional economy and society and is an important force to promote economic and social changes. Silicon Valley in the United States, Sofia Science and Technology Park in France, Tsukuba in Japan, Zhongguancun in Beijing, Optics Valley in Wuhan and Hsinchu in Taiwan Province are all outstanding representatives of higher education in providing high-level services to global industries and regional economy and society, and they are also models of high-quality connotative development of higher education.

High-quality connotative development is also an inevitable requirement to actively adapt to the transformation of major contradictions in our society. The transformation of major social contradictions has put forward a major proposition for higher education. At present, the contradiction in the development of higher education in China has been transformed into the contradiction between the people's desire for high-quality higher education resources and the unbalanced and incomplete development of higher education. Generally speaking, higher education can't meet people's simple desire and strong demand for "a good university". Therefore, the purpose of realizing the high-quality connotative development of higher education is to fully satisfy the people's thirst for high-quality higher education resources.
