Interpretation of the motto of Huaqiao University Institute of Technology
As a school motto, "Knowing China and Foreign Countries" mainly focuses on expressing research methods, that is to say, it should conform to Chinese and foreign cultures and adapt or connect them. In other words, learning should not be confined to Chinese studies and exclude foreigners, nor should it be said that we should call Europe, America and the West and forget our ancestors. Nowadays, the social and economic development of all countries in the world is becoming more and more global, and various high and new technologies are having a more and more profound impact on the process of human civilization. Our school faces overseas, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and students return to their original places of residence after graduation. Therefore, it is necessary and possible for us to let them widely contact and learn Chinese and foreign knowledge, and strive to achieve mastery and innovation. Although there is no distinction between China and foreign countries as axioms or laws in natural science, various theories in the history of science and technology, such as geocentric theory and sky-covering theory, number universe and gas universe, all have their own origins, which are of great help to us understand the laws of scientific discovery and should be studied and understood. As for the knowledge of social science and humanities, although "people have the same heart and the same reason", there are many differences between China and foreign countries, which need to be compared, inspired and supplemented.

"The combination of moral education and talents" focuses on defining the policy of running a school, that is, moral education and talent education should not be neglected, but should be paid equal attention to and promote each other. "Co-education" means common development, which is extended to competing development. The Doctrine of the Mean says: "All things coexist without harming each other, and the Tao is parallel without contradicting each other". It is the "coexistence of all things" that leads to a prosperous and lively ecology. Although there is competition, they can promote each other. The relationship between virtue and talent is also roughly the same. Noble moral character will produce strong learning motivation and good style of study; The accumulation of knowledge and the improvement of learning and education also provide the necessary premise and rich nourishment for moral understanding and moral practice.

If so, "knowing China and foreign countries" is about how to learn and mark the pursuit of truth by teachers and students, and "cultivating moral talents" is about how to educate people and be a man and mark the pursuit of value by teachers and students. Pursuing the unity of truth and value is the essence of our school motto.
