1) Cultivating talents is always the fundamental mission of universities. But what kind of talents are trained and how many students become talents is the difference between universities and universities. Preschool education is an education that makes people know people, focusing on the cultivation of children's good habits; Basic education is the education that makes people become people. After the completion of basic education, the educated should become qualified citizens with the consciousness of fairness and justice, freedom and equality, democracy and the rule of law; Vocational education is the education that makes people become craftsmen; Higher education is the education that makes people become talents; Postgraduate (forum) education is to turn talents into tools. Making people useful is the fundamental task of higher education. (2) Academic innovation is the fundamental symbol of university level. Academics can be divided into four types: communication, integration, application and innovation. Innovative learning is the highest representative of all kinds of learning. Innovative learning can drive the development of the other three kinds of learning. The level of innovation ability can clearly distinguish the level of universities. A university that can carry out academic originality is a first-class university. The university that can follow the imitation is a second-rate university. A university without innovation ability is a third-rate university or less. (3) Serving the society is the basic function of the university. Promoting social development depends on science and technology, and leading society forward depends on thought. Universities should not only be engines of social progress, but also think tanks to grasp the direction of social development. (4) Improving the quality of education and teaching is the eternal theme of universities. The quality concept here should be a comprehensive quality concept, including not only ideological quality, school spirit quality and cultural tradition quality, but also the quality of students, teachers, school conditions and system quality. (5) Discipline construction is the leading work of universities. Promote the development of other school work with the development of disciplines. (6) The construction of teaching staff is the main project of the school. Running a school depends on teachers, which is the unique standard view of universities. The so-called talents strengthen the school, that is, professors strengthen the school. (7) Pursuing truth, freedom, progress and perfection is the soul and spirit of a university. (8) Reform is the driving force of university development. (9) The goal of a university is to create its own characteristics. (10) Serving teaching, scientific research, academics, teachers and students is the purpose of university management. These ten principles should be regarded as the basic laws for the development of higher education in China.
