School Motto
Developing things, accomplishing tasks, encouraging learning and benefiting the people
"Opening things and accomplishing affairs" comes from the Book of Changes, Xici Shang: "The Book of Changes opens things and accomplishes affairs, and it is the way to conquer the world. This is all." Kong Yingda's commentary: "This means that the Book of Changes can open up the aspirations of all things, accomplish the affairs of the world, and have the way to conquer the world. This is it. The essence and function of the Book of Changes are nothing more than this." This means that the function of the Book of Changes is to enable people to understand the principles of all things and act based on this knowledge to accomplish things well.
"Encourage learning and benefit the people" is taken from Wang Chong's Lunheng in the Han Dynasty: "Things that can be known, if you think deeply about them, will not be difficult even if they are great; things that cannot be known, if you study diligently, will not be easy even if they are small. Therefore, a man of wisdom and intelligence cannot achieve anything without learning, and cannot know anything without asking." And in the Book of the Later Zhou Dynasty: "What a king should admire is virtue, and virtue lies in benefiting the people."
