The motto of Zhejiang University-"Seeking Truth and Innovating" can be traced back to Qiushi Academy, the predecessor of Zhejiang University.
Since its establishment, Qiushi Academy has advocated "practical learning, preserving the positive and eliminating the false". The school spirit of "seeking truth from facts" has gradually formed among teachers and students, and it will continue to Zhejiang University in the future.
The school was formerly Qiushi College, which was founded in 1897 and named as National Zhejiang University in 1928. 1937 Zhejiang university moved westward, running schools in Zunyi and Meitan, Guizhou, and 1946 moved back to Hangzhou in the autumn.
From 65438 to 0952, some departments of Zhejiang University were placed under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other universities, and the main part was reorganized into several universities in Hangzhou, which later developed into the original Zhejiang University, Hangzhou University, Zhejiang Agricultural University and Zhejiang Medical University. 1998, four universities with the same roots merged to form the new Zhejiang University.
In the course of running a school for more than 20 years, the school has always adhered to the fine tradition of "being realistic and innovative" as its motto, and gradually formed the spirit of Zhejiang University, which is "diligent in studying Xiu De, discerning and being honest", "embracing all rivers, enlightening the truth, cherishing virtues, opening up the people and building the motherland".
