3. School motto: Mingde, erudite, upright and surprising.

Interpretation: Mingde, from The Book of Rites University: The way of university, Mingde, close to the people, ends with perfection; The Doctrine of the Mean: erudite, interrogative, thoughtful, discerning and faithful; The purpose of the university is to carry forward the aboveboard moral character, shape a new life and reach the most perfect realm. Education-oriented, moral education first. Moral education is the fundamental task of higher education. Educating people must first be "Ming De", which is the most fundamental basis for shaping and achieving people.

Erudition comes from the golden mean: erudition, doubt, thinking, understanding and faith; Xunzi's exhortation to learn: a gentleman is knowledgeable and saves himself every day, so he knows what he knows and does nothing wrong; "The Analects of Confucius" Xia Zi said: erudite and determined, inquisitive and thoughtful, with benevolence in it. "erudition" means eclecticism, learning from the strengths of many families, so as to achieve profound knowledge.

Honesty, from Xiang Zhuan: a gentleman is independent and upright, and can't tolerate all waste. "Positive" means observing norms, laws and justice; Stick to the principle of being a man and refuse temptation; Adhere to honesty and trustworthiness and maintain credibility; Insist on being honest and doing things in a down-to-earth manner; Adhere to long-term planning and reject short-term behavior; Insist on waiting for the time to be ripe, undisturbed, and not acting rashly.

Surprisingly, it comes from Tao Te Ching: rule the country with righteousness, use troops with strangeness, and take the world with nothing; Sun Tzu's potential: whoever fights wins, the combination is right, and it is unexpected. Therefore, the good and the strange are infinite as heaven and earth, and inexhaustible as rivers. To be "surprising", we must emancipate our minds at the ideological level and forge ahead. At the methodological level, scientific planning and decision-making must be carried out. Scientific planning and scientific decision-making are the prelude to "surprise".
