The motto "Honesty and Diligence" is a combination of the motto of Central University, the predecessor of our school, and the motto of Jinling University. It is a spiritual character with south china agriculture characteristics gradually formed in the course of running a school for more than a hundred years, adhering to the fine traditions of Central University and Jinling University.
"Honesty", sincerity and frankness. There is a cloud in the Book of Rites: "Honest people have heaven, and sincere people have humanity." "Honesty" is the fundamental attribute of heaven, and striving for honesty is the way to be a man. Taking the word "sincerity" as the head of the school motto is intended to warn teachers and students to be honest and do things honestly.
"Simplicity" means simplicity, simplicity, talent in simplicity and nature in simplicity. The Tao Te Ching says, "The Tao is often nameless. Although it is simple, the world dares not be a minister." Although "Pu" is implicit and has no specific name, it is the master of the universe. Taking "simplicity" as the training is intended to guide teachers and students to seek truth and be kind, simple and honest.
"Diligent", diligent. There is a road in the mountain of books, but there is no limit to learning the sea. Diligence and idleness ruin success. Diligence embodies the spiritual character of hard work of southern farmers. Taking "diligence" as the training is intended to persuade teachers and students to be diligent, sensitive and persistent.
Benevolence, benevolence and benevolence. There is a saying in the Analects of Confucius, Yongye, "A benevolent man wants to stand, and he wants to achieve what he wants, but people don't want him to." "Benevolence" emphasizes building oneself, caring for each other, respecting personality and being kind to others. Taking "benevolence" as the training is intended to encourage teachers and students to care for the whole life and the world.
The essence of the school motto "honesty and diligence" is: to be honest and do things honestly; Seeking truth and being kind, simple and honest; Diligence and persistence; Heart is the whole of life, love the world.
