Source: Ma Yifu wrote the song "Zhejiang University School Song" (formerly known as "Not Too Much")
Excerpts from the original text:
There are not many big ones, and there are rivers in the sea.
Learning is endless, between heaven and earth.
Translation:
There are rivers and lakes, but they never boast of their greatness.
The same is true of learning, which is never marginal.
Analysis: It is big because it is complacent and boastful, just like a vast sea and a wide river. The knowledge in the world is infinite, extending to the universe of heaven and earth. The language comes from Zhuangzi Qiushui. Hebo, the Yellow River, like to see the river irrigation, the water potential is huge. Only by seeing the vastness of the North Sea can we know our own smallness.

The related history of the school song of Zhejiang University;
1, officially decided the school song
1938165438+10/9, Yishan, Guangxi, President Zhu Kezhen presided over the school affairs meeting, which decided to take "seeking truth from facts" as the motto of Zhejiang University and invited Ma Yifu, a famous master of Chinese studies, to write lyrics for the school song.
Ma Yifu wrote this lyric because he quoted more classics, and it was written in classical Chinese, which was not very popular and sometimes it was awkward to read. President Zhu once considered rewriting, but felt that the lyrics written were broad and profound, which reflected the spirit of seeking truth from facts pursued by Zhejiang University.
Therefore, the famous composer and then Professor Ying Shangneng of the Central Conservatory of Music were invited to compose music, which was officially designated as the school song of Zhejiang University by the school affairs meeting.
2, the school song was born:
1992 During the celebration of the 95th anniversary of Zhejiang University in April, Zhu, a 44th graduate of Zhejiang University's Civil Engineering Department (former head of Zhejiang University Choir) and a 46th graduate of Zhejiang University's Foreign Languages Department, at the suggestion of the old members of Zhejiang University Choir, translated the lyrics of the school song sentence by sentence and read them aloud.
