As a sign, a meaningful form (Clive? 6? 1 clock), the outline of the school emblem of western universities is mostly shield-shaped. For example, Oxford University, which was founded in 12 century, has a shield-shaped school emblem (and universities such as Cambridge University all have a shield-shaped school emblem). The main part of the school emblem consists of three crowns (the first two are above and the second is below). In the middle is an unfolded book, which reads "DOMINUS ILLUMINATIO MEA" ("Lord illuminates me"), showing the influence of medieval religion on universities and emphasizing "enlightenment". The crown on the school emblem shows the nobility and glory of university education, which is closely related to the university concept of cultivating gentlemen in British universities. Newman, a famous British educator, holds that the purpose of a university is to cultivate or cultivate a gentleman with wisdom, philosophy and accomplishment. Chinese educator Zheng also concluded: "The ideal of British universities is to cultivate gentlemen, and Oxford University can be its representative." [1] American universities have inherited the tradition of British universities, and the design of school badges is mostly shield-shaped. For example, the emblem of Harvard University born in 1643 is shield-shaped. It adopted a new school emblem at 1884. The main part is three books (the last two and the next one), which are printed with "ve" and "ve" respectively. Charles, then president of Harvard University? 6? 1 Charles W. Eliot summarized his educational viewpoint as: "General education is a state of mind ... the spirit or quality of persisting in exploring and seeking truth [2], which also means the change of western university ideas, from spreading knowledge and cultivating priests in the Middle Ages to pursuing truth and cultivating research-oriented talents. The school emblem of western universities is shield-shaped because it is the family emblem of western aristocrats, symbolizing multiple metaphors such as solemnity, glory, nobility and elegance, which conforms to the educational ideal of cultivating gentlemen in British universities. As an ideal personality, a gentleman has noble and elegant spiritual connotation, and it is just right to show his style with a coat of arms. In fact, we can see that the national emblem is widely used in the west, not only in universities, but also in the design of national emblems and many signs in many countries. Looking back at history, China ancient school education was quite developed. The imperial academy established in the Han Dynasty and the government-run private academy since the Song Dynasty have played an irreplaceable role in the inheritance of knowledge and the promotion of civilization in China. At the same time, China also had rich educational thoughts in ancient times. Confucius's "teaching without class" and "nourishing qi to make the world flat" in "University" both contain profound philosophy and wisdom. To sum up, China ancient school education is to carry out the Confucian ethics since the university, inherit and experience the connotation and spirit of Confucianism, and the ultimate goal is to meet the talent needs of the imperial court and social development. China University in the modern sense is the product of being forced into the torrent of modernity by the West. In the realistic context of the late Qing Dynasty, a group of old-style officials with advanced ideas and active participation in the Westernization Movement began to establish universities. 1895 Sheng Xuanhuai, Tianjin Customs Road, imitated the model of American universities and founded the first new university in the history of modern education-Beiyang University Hall (the predecessor of Tianjin University); The following year, Nanyang Public School (the predecessor of Shanghai Jiaotong University) was founded in Shanghai. 1898, Emperor Zhao Xia of Guangxu officially established Shi Jing University Hall (the predecessor of Peking University), which was an early university in China. As it is directly based on European and American universities, the design of the school emblem obviously follows Beiyang University Hall and Nankai University (founded by famous educators Yan Xiu and Zhang Bailing in 19 19) and other universities. Above the coat of arms, the words "National Beiyang University" are written in regular script, and another black coat of arms is painted below. There are three white buildings at the top and bottom of the black shield (the upper two and the next one should be the front view of the school gate). In the center of the Black Shield, the words "seeking truth" and "seeking truth" are written on both sides of the book in official script, which means pursuing truth. From this, we can clearly see the relationship between Oxford University and Oxford University. The emblem of Nankai University is much simpler. The crest reads "Nankai University" in Chinese characters from top to bottom, and "Nankai" in pinyin from left to right. Both groups of characters are tilted to the left, with pinyin in the middle, and "Nankai" and "University" are divided into upper and lower groups. The overall look is rough and lacks aesthetic feeling. 19 16 12, Cai Yuanpei became the president of Peking University. With his own mind and boldness of vision, he carried out drastic reforms in Peking University. Peking University quickly became the main battlefield of the New Culture Movement and the reflection of soul of china. 19 17 Cai Yuanpei asked Lu Xun to design the emblem of Peking University. In the circular emblem, the word "Peking University" written in seal script is arranged up and down, with round strokes and compact structure, which is quite symmetrical and calm in primitive simplicity. This school emblem has been used to this day and has become the main part of the school emblem of Peking University. However, there are many understandings about the exact meaning of the emblem of Peking University, and it is difficult to draw a conclusion, which shows the richness of hieroglyphics (Chinese characters) and the unique charm of China culture. Formally, the word "North" looks like two figures standing back to back, while the word "Big" looks like a figure standing in front. According to a more orthodox explanation, this shows that Peking University's school-running philosophy is "people-oriented". In fact, it is more like the development of people keeping pace with the times.
