school motto
Honesty is to treat learning sincerely, and not regard learning as a way to get promoted and get rich and a tool to get a diploma. Simplicity means simplicity. Learning is not for appearance and decoration, nor for exquisiteness and glitz. Let youth spend on fashionable brochures and essays, but for hard work.
Xiong Xiong, that is, "Xiong Xiong is fearless", should correct the weak wind of the Chinese nation since the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, keep in mind the concept of national survival, and complete the great ideal of rejuvenating China. Greatness means being great and lofty, being able to get rid of narrowness, broaden one's horizons, be broad-minded and do great things.
Since then, "honesty, simplicity, heroism and greatness" have become the motto of Central University, especially the words "honesty and simplicity". This motto has also been used by Nanjing University and is now a part of it.
