1In April, 897, Qi Lin, the magistrate of Hangzhou, founded the Sericulture Science Museum, with "training talents as the first meaning and stressing practical learning as the first meaning", advocating "seeking truth from facts", and educating students to study hard, work hard, apply what they have learned, stress practical results and create an atmosphere of honesty and integrity. Therefore, Luo Zhenyu, a master of Chinese studies, praised the students of Hangzhou Silkworm Academy for their "diligence and sureness" in the Record of Achievements of Hangzhou Silkworm Academy. Qi Lin advocated "seeking truth" and "faithfulness" all his life. He named the college he founded (the predecessor of Zhejiang University) in order to be a college, and the selected students demanded "faithfulness and good arts and sciences", which shows its value orientation. Moreover, during his stay in Hangzhou, he also practiced, so Hangzhou citizens called him "honest, smart and upright."
In the new era, we should still inherit and carry forward the school spirit of seeking truth from facts, requiring teachers and students to seek truth from facts and grasp the law; It needs simplicity, hard work, singleness and firmness.
