As follows:
Henan University is a national "double-class" construction university with a long history, complete disciplines, distinctive professional characteristics and profound cultural heritage. Henan University was founded in 19 12 as a preparatory school for studying in Europe and America in Henan. The first principal was Mr. Lin, and the school site was built on the old site.
Henan University was founded in 19 12. Minglun Campus was once the seat of Henan Gongyuan. The last two national examinations were held in 1903 and 1904, respectively, and the imperial examination system for thousands of years ended here. Therefore, it also became the end of Chinese imperial examination system.
Up to now, there are still two stone tablets standing in Minglun Campus, which are called "Gong Yuan Monument". They record the history of the relocation, expansion and reconstruction of Henan Palace Garden in detail and witness the end of Chinese imperial examination system.
The motto of Henan University is "Mingde Xinmin, stop at the best", which comes from the opening of Book of Rites University: "The way of a university is to be virtuous, be close to the people and stop at the best." In these words, the principle of running a university is to carry forward Mingde, innovate people's hearts and achieve perfection.
1936, after the completion of the south gate of Henan University, the school engraved the school motto on the lintel inside the main gate of Liu Tizheng. The eight-character school motto is dazzling and thought-provoking, which gives enlightenment to the development of studies and culture of students in Heda University. As soon as they entered the school, they felt a supreme sense of historical responsibility for the country and the nation.
There are three national key cultural relics protection units in Minglun Campus of Henan University: modern buildings scattered around the campus and built in a pattern, with ancient city walls in Ming and Qing Dynasties in the east and the Song Dynasty iron tower with a history of thousands of years in the north.
Wandering in Minglun Campus is like walking through a history museum, just as the main leaders of the Ministry of Education lamented when visiting Henan University: "As soon as I entered Henan University, I felt that the leisurely years floated with the book."
1 1 1 In recent years, the school has been adhering to the motto of "Mindful of new people, stop at perfection", formed the school spirit of "unity, diligence, preciseness and simplicity" and the university spirit with "perseverance and self-improvement" as the core, and trained more than 700,000 talents of all kinds for the revitalization of education.
