Why is the motto of Tsinghua "Be kind, generous and virtuous"?
Tsinghua's school motto is don't be kind, be generous and be virtuous. Tsinghua's school motto is "self-improvement, morality-oriented". From a speech entitled "Gentleman" delivered by Liang Qichao in Tsinghua University in the winter of 19 14.

191410/in June, Liang Qichao gave a speech in Tsinghua, and inspired students with two images in Zhouyi, namely, "Heaven is strong, gentlemen strive for self-improvement" (dry divination) and "The rich in the earth, gentlemen carry things with great virtue" (Kun divination). At the same time, a gentleman should be as thick as the earth, be lenient with others, be strict with himself and treat others lightly, absorb new civilization with a broad mind, improve our society, promote our politics, and shoulder the historical responsibility with a generous morality. Liang Qichao's impassioned speech deeply inspired the students in Tsinghua. Later, Tsinghua University's motto was "Strive for Self-improvement, Be Virtuous and Carry Things".

Liang Qichao had a soft spot for Tsinghua and sent his children Liang Sicheng and Liang Siyong to Tsinghua School. Both of them became world-renowned masters. At the same time, Liang Qichao himself is very concerned about running schools and the growth of students in Tsinghua. What he is obsessed with is the cultural roots of students studying in the United States. He once said: "In addition to Western learning, Tsinghua students should also learn Chinese studies; Gai Guo Xue is the foundation of the country and has made contributions, especially to non-Chinese studies. " He appreciated the "purpose of cultivating all-round talents and strengthening national strength" and the "educational policy of studying in Germany and constantly striving for self-improvement" put forward in the articles of association of Tsinghua University.
