mark

Badge old school motto: diligence, truth-seeking, dedication and innovation, although simple, but easy to recite. But on another level, this concept is full of elements, but slightly lacking in characteristics. New school motto: knowledge and skills need to be round and straight. This is the inscription of Mr. li jinxi 1947, a famous contemporary linguist and writer in China and a former president of the National Northwest Normal University: "Knowledge and skills need to be round and straight; Lonely smoke in the desert, sunset in the long river. " "Wisdom is a circle, and the doer" is China's traditional philosophical thought, which can be found in a passage of Laozi in Volume 7 of Xuantong Zhenjing: The way of mortals, wisdom is a circle and the doer. Wisdom circle, forever for no reason, flowing far and wide, deep springs endless; People who walk in the right direction stand up straight, unflinching, plain but not dirty, poor and not easy to exercise, and cannot realize their ambitions. Therefore, wise people know everything, and people who walk in the right direction do nothing. Understanding art means emancipating the mind, being flexible in thinking, diverse in methods, vivid and vivid, such as a long river setting sun, meticulously carved and full. The purpose of the line must be straight, that is to say, the behavior and the purpose of life should be dignified, upright and decent. In dealing with people and things, we should be straightforward, like a lonely smoke in the desert, standing between heaven and earth, with no other side, being unique and showing integrity. Knowing the skill is round, the purpose must be straight. This paper puts forward the basic principles that teachers and students should follow from two aspects: learning and being a man, which embodies the historical accumulation and cultural pursuit of Northwest Normal University, and is a unique display of the school spirit of "advocating academics and pursuing Excellence" and the spirit of "patriotic progress, honesty and simplicity, hard struggle and self-improvement".
