What unites the adults of Xigong University? It is the culture and spirit of Xigong University.
What makes Xigong people insist on serving the country by air and by national defense? It is the culture and spirit of Xigong University.
Where does the motivation for patriotism, dedication and innovation come from? Or the culture and spirit from Xigong University. -This is the power of culture and spirit!
Jiang Chengyu: Culture is the soul of a university, and university spirit is the core of university culture. The culture of a university can be passed down from generation to generation and internalized in the heart, laying the foundation for students' life; The spirit of a university can travel through time and space, reflect the future and shape students' souls. It is the unique culture and spirit of Xigong University that has taught students how to behave, do things and learn. -At this point, Xigong University is worthy of pride. Shi Changxu, a leading scholar in the field of materials science in China, a strategic scientist, a senior academician of the two academies and a winner of the "National Highest Science and Technology Award", is an outstanding alumnus representative of Xigong University.
Northwestern Polytechnical University is a well-known university that has been baptized by war. It is also an institution of higher learning that bears and witnesses the dream of a new China as a powerful country. Since its birth, it has shouldered the lofty mission of rejuvenating China, saving the country through science, strengthening the army through science and technology and strengthening the country through talents. Northwest Institute of Technology, East China Aviation Institute and Harbin Institute of Military Engineering (Air Force Engineering Department) have three peaks, which are strong and powerful, with talents and famous teachers, and have made Xigong University a success. The long-standing cultural nourishment of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the excellent qualifications and fine traditions of the old Xigong University, China Airlines and Harbin Military Industry endowed Xigong University with rich and profound cultural connotations. The persistence of the old western workers in the anti-Japanese bonfire, the decisive move of China Airlines from Nanjing to the west at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the systematic integration of the engineering department of Harbin Military Industry and Air Force, and the pursuit of convergence and exploration gave birth to the school motto of "honesty and courage" and the school spirit of "three realities and one innovation", and according to the demand of national defense science and technology talents under the new situation, they formed "taking root in the west, working hard, being pragmatic, pioneering and innovative, pursuing first-class, and devoting themselves to national defense" According to the reality of the western region, we should vigorously advocate the Yan 'an spirit of self-reliance and hard struggle among teachers and students. The spirit of "two bombs and one satellite", "manned space flight", Yan 'an spirit and Xigong University spirit enriched and enriched the connotation and characteristics of the school motto. They are deeply embedded in the blood of Xigong University, and jointly build the core of Xigong University's excellent school-running tradition and distinctive school-running concept, deeply edifying and influencing generations of students, and winning the reputation of "learning in Xigong University" for the school.
The motto of Xigong University is "Honesty and Courage", that is, "Serve the country for the public, be honest and trustworthy, be open-minded, be brave and diligent, dare to be the first, be resolute and persevering", and its core is "Educating people by morality", which teaches students how to be a man, that is, to have humanistic spirit and moral feelings, and to take the great cause of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the happiness of mankind as their own responsibility and do their best. It is a highly concentrated responsibility, mission and dedication, and it is also a symphony sublimation of patriotism and scientific spirit. The motto of "Honesty and Courage" is deeply rooted in the culture of Xigong University, which inspires Xigong adults who are "especially hard-working, especially fighting, especially dedicated and especially innovative" to create brilliance for the motherland from generation to generation. "Craft" is the soul of Xigong University, the soul of the country and the soul of the Chinese nation! "Three realities and one innovation" is a distinctive feature of talent training in Xigong University, and it is also the pride of Xigong University's education. Since the establishment of Xigong University, the goal is to cultivate high-tech talents, which inevitably requires the school-running concept to be "realistic and innovative". The essence of "three realities and one innovation", namely "solid foundation, simple style, down-to-earth, pioneering and innovative", is to emphasize "seeking truth", "seeking truth" and "seeking innovation"-that is, to teach students how to do things and how to learn, that is, to look up at the sky, down-to-earth and pursue truth in the solid pursuit of continuous breakthrough and transcendence. "Three realities and one innovation" represents the "high standard" pursuit of personnel training in Xigong University in the past 73 years, that is, the pursuit of first-class and Excellence. This pursuit does not come from external pressure, but from the heart, completely "integrated into the blood", injecting a steady stream of vitality and vitality into the training and future development of top-notch innovative talents in Xigong University.
"Honesty and courage" and "three realities and one creation" complement each other and constitute the essence of Xigong University culture. It is this cultural power that enables Xigong University to stick to the way of university, adhere to the principle of educating people, and not be stumped by the "floating name". It is precisely because of the internalized accumulation of this culture and the inheritance of outstanding masters from generation to generation that the excellent teaching style of "loving one's post and dedication, rigorous scholarship, teaching and educating people" and the excellent study style of "loving one's country and school, being honest and responsible" have been formed in Xigong University. It has nurtured a large number of alumni who have devoted themselves to aviation and national defense, and have not been confused by the vanity and impetuousness of the outside world. They "can stay, trust and do well", thus forming a unique "Xigong University" in the field of national defense science, technology and industry of China Aviation Group. Strategically build a scientific training system, adhere to the characteristics of the three airlines, and build a highland for talents.
"Talent cultivation is the fundamental task of universities. It is the strategic task of Xigong University to cultivate high-quality innovative talents and outstanding engineers for the country's major strategic needs. It is the glorious mission of Xigong University to cultivate leading talents in national defense science and technology industry.
