3. School motto: virtuous, knowledgeable and innovative.

Houde: "Houde" comes from Zhouyi Biography: "Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen strive for self-improvement"; "The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with morality." "It means: the celestial bodies are constantly running, and gentlemen should work hard to learn from nature"; The terrain is flat and broad, praising everything, and the gentleman is law-abiding and should be inclusive. Among them, "self-improvement" means to struggle forever and face the challenges of nature and society bravely, which shows the vigorous vitality of the Chinese nation and the spirit of striving for success. "Benevolence carries things" means embracing everything, taking harmony as the most important thing and forbearance as the most important thing.

Erudition: "erudition" comes from The Analects of Confucius. "Yongye": "A gentleman is knowledgeable in writing and bound by ceremony". "erudition" is the foundation of China's ancient and modern scholarship. Confucius, a great thinker and educator, especially emphasized that "learning to be excellent is to be an official" and thought that it was not "extensive" but not "deep".

Du Xing: "Du Xing" means to concentrate on earnest implementation and practice. From The Doctrine of the Mean: "Be knowledgeable, interrogate, think carefully, distinguish clearly and stick to it". It embodies the national spirit that the Chinese nation has always attached importance to for thousands of years, that is, "what you say must be done, what you do must be done, and seeking truth and being pragmatic". China's traditional morality pays special attention to: "match words with deeds", "practice" and "set an example"; China's traditional education especially emphasizes "teaching by example", "integrating knowledge with practice" and "applying what you have learned". Confucius pointed out: "lead by example, teach by example"; It is upright and does not command; His body is not straight, although he can't do it. Xunzi believes that words can be said, actions can be done, and national treasures are also available. In contemporary China, practice is the only criterion to test the truth. The purpose of party and country construction is to continue its university education with the excellent national tradition of cultivating and practicing, and combining knowledge with practice.

Innovation: the spirit of "innovation" is the excellent quality of human beings' self-improvement, continuous progress and continuous transcendence. As early as in the Book of Rites. University, Chinese ancestors clearly put forward the innovative spirit of striving for progress.
