Knowing the new: From the Analects of Confucius, "reviewing the old and knowing the new" means reviewing the old knowledge and gaining new knowledge and experience. In Song Dynasty, Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi's "Suicide Letter of He Chengnan in the Second Season" said: "The learning of a gentleman must be new, and those who are new must make progress." "Knowing the new" requires us to keep learning, summarizing and thinking, in order to gain new knowledge, acquire new knowledge and experience new things. Constantly pursuing new knowledge, constantly innovating and enterprising, this is the spirit respected by the college.

Zhiyuan: It comes from the Western Han Dynasty's Notes on Huai Nan Zi: "Therefore, thinness has no virtue, no peace, no distance, no forgiveness, no sorrow, no loyalty and no righteousness." In Zhuge Liang's Commandment, it is mentioned that "the clear mind is not indifferent and the quietness is not far-reaching", which means to achieve lofty goals and realize lofty ideals. "Zhiyuan" shows that the college has achieved the lofty goal of prosperity and personal perfection, that is, telling all teachers and students to have noble character and lofty aspirations, pursue endlessly, absorb the essence of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign civilizations, be broad-minded and practice both inside and outside, so as to promote harmony and perfection between people and society.
