School song:

The school song "Zhejiang University School Song" was originally named "Not Too Much", written by China scholar Ma Yifu, and the Central Conservatory of Music should be able to teach composition. Since the school song was decided, there have been many objections, mainly in classical Chinese lyrics, which are heavily quoted, which is inconvenient for students to understand. Zhu Kezhen, the headmaster, thinks that the lyrics are difficult but profound, so they are still used today.

The school motto is "seeking truth and innovation";

Origin: 1938 President Zhu Kezhen presided over the school affairs meeting and officially confirmed "seeking truth" as the motto of Zhejiang University. The word "seeking truth from facts" is taken from Wang Yangming's statement that "a gentleman's learning is only for his correctness", which is the university spirit inherited by our predecessor, Qiushi Academy.

And "seeking Truth" coincides with the English word "truth", which means the same as "truth". It is for the purpose of university study and thinks the school motto is very appropriate. Therefore, Zhu Kezhen, president of Zhejiang University, takes "seeking truth" as his motto, hoping that students of Zhejiang University can carry forward the school spirit and never forget the purpose of study. ?

Change: 1988, feeling that "seeking truth" is often understood as "seeking truth" in today's society. President Lu Yongxiang added and emphasized "innovation" on the basis of the original school motto, and thought it was the school motto of Zhejiang University in the new era.
