The word "Fudan" comes from "Biography of Yu Xia" in "Biography of Shangshu". Fu Sheng, a great scholar in the 2nd century BC, wrote The Great Biography of Shangshu. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Shangshu in the Six Classics was handed down through his oral instruction. According to Yu Xia Zhuan, Shun abandoned Zen, "Clear clouds gather, handsome people gather, everything is harmonious, and the song is clear clouds. The emperor advocated: Why is the cloud rotten and embarrassing? " The sun and the moon are brilliant, but it is a blessing for Fudan. The word "Fudan" comes from Qing Yun Ge sung by Shun. The so-called Qingyun is auspicious. According to the historian's "Tianguanshu", "If there is no smoke, if there are clouds, there will be many gloomy clouds, which is called Qingyun. "Qingyun is beaming." The same correction, the same correction, describes the twists and turns of Qingyun. "The sun and the moon compete for glory, and the sun and the moon will shine, symbolizing that Shunyu's abdication will bring infinite light and happiness to the world. Yun Ge in Qing Dynasty, because it comes from a legendary saint, has great attraction to people. In addition, Shun's succession to the throne and enfeoffment to Yu is a model of civilian politics, which is very consistent with the background of overthrowing the imperial system and establishing a harmonious country in the late Qing Dynasty. Therefore, in the second year of the Republic of China, the Ministry of Education collected the national anthem, and Congressman Wang Rongbao made some gains and losses in Qing Yun Ge, which was submitted to the Ministry for discussion, and was recognized by celebrities such as Wu Jingheng, which played the role of a temporary national anthem. 192 1 year was even designated as the official national anthem. In this way, the name of the school originated from the national anthem of the Republic of China founded by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and Fudan was closely integrated with the anti-imperialist and anti-authoritarian theme of modern China.

Fudan was born because it resisted religious coercion and pursued academic independence and freedom of thought. The original intention of naming Fudan is to revitalize China and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The word "Fudan" is noble and beautiful, with far-reaching implications, which is enough to arouse the patriotic feelings of Fudan people. The school name is classic, but it does not lose the significance of the times. Its connotation and extension are the best footnotes for Fudan spirit.
