Motto of Hefei Normal University:
First, "love the world, unity of knowledge and action":
This sentence is the essence of Mr. Tao Xingzhi's educational thought. Loving the whole world embodies a great love spirit and feelings of loving the motherland, people, education and students, which is the true meaning of education pursued by Mr. Tao Xingzhi all his life. Love is the soul and life of education.
Taking "love the world" as the school motto not only embodies the educational concept of establishing education by virtue and teaching by love, but also embodies the sense of mission and responsibility of establishing education for the public and serving the society, and embodies the essential requirement of implementing the orientation of "normal education" in our school.
Second, the unity of knowing and doing:
The unity of knowing and doing comes from Wang Shouren's Handwriting in Ming Dynasty: "If you know it is true, you can do it. When you realize it, you know what you are doing. Knowing kung fu is inseparable from doing kung fu. True knowledge means doing what you do, but not knowing is not enough. " Mr. Tao Xingzhi particularly emphasized that "doing is the beginning of knowing, and knowing is the success of doing". "Unity of knowing and doing" essentially emphasizes the unity of theory and practice.
