School motto: "Be studious, practice hard and know shame"

School motto description:

The school motto of "studious, practical and ashamed to learn" is quoted from The Doctrine of the Mean. The original text is "studious is close to knowledge, practical learning is close to benevolence, and shameful learning is close to courage", the first of which is "knowledge" and "wisdom".

The original text can be interpreted as: (the first sentence) If you like learning, you will have profound knowledge and strong ability to distinguish right from wrong, thus approaching wisdom.

Try to spread the knowledge you have learned and put it into practice, so that everyone can benefit and get close to fraternity.

(Last sentence) It's close to being brave to know what you should and shouldn't do and correct what you have learned.

Closely following the spirit of the times, the school motto of "studious, pragmatic and shameful" can be directly interpreted as: loving and willing to learn; Apply what you have learned and practice hard; Distinguish between right and wrong and correct what you have learned. This is the requirement of national education policy and education reform for students, and it is also the noble pursuit of people in learning, behavior and morality. Teachers should not only teach, but also educate people. "Learning well" focuses on teaching "doing" and "knowing shame" focuses on educating people. Therefore, for teachers, the motto of "being studious, practicing and knowing shame" not only summarizes teaching, but also summarizes educating people.

The seal cutting of the school motto is hung on the right side of the arched building as soon as we enter the school gate, shining and reminding us to remember it at all times.
