School motto: great harmony and deep beauty
Macro means that the knowledge structure should be broad and profound, eclectic, and strive to understand the internal relations between adjacent knowledge fields, and connect them to lay a solid foundation;
About-Life is limited and time is precious. After laying a good foundation, moving from "macro" to "about" and "about" means making careful choices on the basis of extensive knowledge and absorbing what is useful to you. Life is limited and knowledge is infinite. You can't spread out too much in order to learn professional knowledge, otherwise you will be distracted, can't see one thing, and ultimately accomplish nothing.
Deep-under the premise of "integration", breaking through the key points will naturally discover new realms. "Deep" refers to a learning spirit, an exploration spirit of nothing ventured, nothing ventured;
Beauty-beauty is an objective existence and a spiritual pursuit. "Beauty" is the highest realm that people strive to achieve, and only those who make great efforts will continue to step into this highest realm.
The essence of changing with constancy is to dare to break through and innovate. Only in this way can society progress, schools develop, and the students trained can keep pace with the times and develop for life.
