What are the three cardinal guides and eight aims in universities, and what are their modern significance?
Three principles: be moral, be close to the people, and stop at the best.

Eight goals: discipline, knowledge, honesty, honesty, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world.

It is emphasized that self-cultivation is the premise of governing people, and the purpose of self-cultivation is to govern the country and level the world, which shows the consistency between governing the country and level the world and personal moral cultivation.

"Ming Ming De" is to carry forward the inherent bright morality of human beings. The so-called "being close to the people" means that after developing goodness, you are engaged in governing the people. Governing the people requires loving the people. The so-called "stop at the best" is to achieve the best state of Confucian feudal ethics. "A gentleman stops at benevolence, a minister stops at respect, a son stops at filial piety, a father stops at kindness, and making friends with Chinese people stops at faith." This is the educational planning and training goal put forward by the university.

"Eight Goals": the concrete steps to realize the "Three Cardinal Principles". The central link of "Eight Articles" is self-cultivation. "From Tian Zi to Shu Ren, it is based on self-cultivation". With regard to training objectives and methods, universities have repeatedly emphasized personal moral cultivation.
