What is the motto of Tsinghua University?

On the campus of Tsinghua, the most carved stone tablet is the school motto. These eight characters can be seen on the bluestone at the East Gate of Tsinghua, on the main wall of the main building hall, on the main hall of the old library, on the forehead of the auditorium, on the grass in front of the I-shaped hall, and on the stone tablet in front of the Tsinghua School.

In a national survey of "Top Ten Mottos I Appreciate Most", "Strive for Self-improvement, be virtuous and carry things" is considered as a model of the organic combination of China's traditional values and modern civilization. It is concise and meaningful, so it ranks first.

19 1 14 One day in June, Mr. Liang Qichao, who had worked hard to improve China's national strength, came to Tsinghua to give a speech on "Gentleman". He used two images in Zhouyi to inspire students-"Heaven is healthy, gentlemen strive for self-improvement" and "The terrain is vast, and gentlemen carry things with morality".

Since then, "self-improvement, morality and carrying things" has become the motto of Tsinghua. Its nutrition has nourished Tsinghua people from generation to generation. It is full of vigor, self-improvement, inclusiveness, patriotism and dedication to society.

When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, nearly a thousand students joined the army in Tsinghua. Shen, a graduate of 1932, was only 26 years old when he fought against the Japanese army. After dropping the bomb, he resolutely rushed to the plane and died with the enemy ship.

Zhu Ziqing, a famous scholar, was seriously ill before his death, but he would rather starve to death than accept American relief food.

After the founding of New China, Tsinghua people consciously shouldered the national responsibility and made contributions on all fronts of the motherland's construction. Among the 23 founding fathers commended by the state, 14 are from Tsinghua.

Deng Jiaxian, one of the founders of China's nuclear weapons cause, never stopped fighting, and "devoting his life to youth" is his true portrayal.

Zhang Guangdou, an academician of the two academies, has devoted his life to the national water conservancy in Mu Feng, and he is still running around the Three Gorges dam area at the age of 90.

For a new generation of Tsinghua people, the spirit of school motto is still a powerful spiritual driving force for them to work hard and cherish the world. Starting from me, starting from now, "the motherland will eventually choose those who choose the motherland."

Another graduation season. The energetic figures in front of these school motto monuments leave not only a photo, but also a kind of growth and a kind of belief.
