The initial intention of Nanjing University -- Sidelights of the discussion on the spiritual outlook of Nanjing University on its 120th Anniversary
2022-05-19
In the four campuses of Nanjing University, Xianlin, Gulou, Suzhou and Pukou, we can see the majestic motto - "honesty, magnificence, learning and traveling". Together with the school spirit of NTU - "rigorous and realistic, diligent and innovative", it silently nourishes the campus and low-key and diligent adults. In these clear and fragrant campuses, a great discussion is going on around the spiritual style and inheritance of the hundred and twenty school history. For Nan adult, who is about to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the founding of the University, it is particularly important and urgent to sort out and refine what is the consistent pursuit of hundred and twenty, whether reviewing the history of the university or looking forward to the future. After years of precipitation and brewing, the discussion on the spiritual outlook of NTU is timely and natural. There is a consensus on spiritual inheritance Hong Yinxing, a former Secretary of the Party committee of Nanjing University, said: "the cultural self-confidence of Nanjing University is not only the self-confidence in history, but also the self-confidence at present. It is very necessary to concentrate on the new requirements and new meanings of the spirit of Nanjing University in the new era when the 120th anniversary of Nanjing University is approaching." "Truth seeking and innovation", "patriotic struggle" and other common spiritual qualities of Chinese colleges and universities are naturally constantly mentioned in the discussion. Academician Chen Hongyuan summed up his expectations for the spiritual outlook of NTU with "determined to make the country and pursue talents". Xu Xingwu, who has just resigned as the president of the College of Arts, and Yao yuan, deputy director of the Department of Social Sciences, agreed that this spiritual inheritance should reflect the struggle history of NTU and highlight the continued commitment of NTU adults to the red gene. "Openness and inclusiveness" and "pursuit of excellence" are also hot topics. Wang Shouren, a senior professor of liberal arts, and Huang Xianjin, the new librarian, believe that the spirit and heritage of the hundred and twenty should have core elements such as "truth-seeking, patriotism, integration, excellence and truth". Zhao Shuming, another senior liberal arts professor, said: "our spiritual background is to recruit talents, serve the society and respond to the actual needs of the country with an open and inclusive attitude." Fang Yanming, the old editor in chief of Nanjing University daily, said: "the history of the hundred and twenty school is full of touching stories of serving the country and honoring the school. Kuang Yaming, Hu fuming, Cheng Kaijia, Zhu Guangya and others that have particularly moved adults in the South have formed a succession of the spiritual style of the history of the hundred and twenty School of Nanjing University." The discussion was warmly responded by teachers, students, staff and alumni. Nanying led the research team of "reading the book of the past" and wrote the words of "Jianwang" for the undergraduate students. This spring, in this first-class university with inclusive culture, science, engineering and medicine and profound heritage, this discussion undoubtedly triggered people's warm tracing, discussion and imagination of the development history of Nantah and the spiritual history of Nantah adults. Atmosphere inheritance reflects the background of NANDA "The spiritual outlook is carried by specific Southern adults, southern events and southern objects." Xue Hailin, deputy secretary of the University Party committee, believes that "the hundred and twenty school history of Nanjing University is a history of struggle and patriotism of serving the country scientifically and supporting the country with humanities. Especially after the founding of new China, the development and progress of Nanjing University runs through the pursuit of educating talents for the party and the country". When it comes to the inheritance of the spirit of serving the country in the history of the hundred and twenty school, adult Nan will think of too many touching struggle stories, struggle spirit and national feelings of his predecessors. Li Ruiqing, who proposed "chewing vegetable roots and doing great things", and Luo Jialun, the principal who organized the westward movement in the war of resistance against Japan The university is big because there are masters and students who serve the country. "Serving the country with science" is the traditional background of NTU. In the course of 120 years of school running, NTU has come out with six "two bombs and one satellite" senators, four reform pioneers, five winners of the national highest science and Technology Award and winners of the "July 1st Medal". Xihe satellite, full name "Sun H" α One of its two chief designers of science and application systems is Li Chuan, an associate professor at the school of astronomy of Nanjing University. "Adhering to the truth" is another kind of character of Southern adults. On May 11, 1978, the article "practice is the only criterion for testing truth" was published in Guangming Daily. It sounded like spring thunder, which opened the prelude to emancipating the mind throughout the country. On the centenary of the founding of the party, Hu fuming, the main author of "practice is the only standard for testing truth" and a southern adult, published another article in Guangming Daily. He wrote: I just want to "shout" at this critical moment. There are many "firsts" in the history of NTU's hundred and twenty schools. Wang Yunlai, President of NTU's School of education, is familiar with this. He is the first to ban women, initiate various disciplines, advocate the higher education system with Chinese characteristics, take the lead in introducing a scientific research evaluation system in line with international standards, build Chinese Social Science Citation, and explore the "three three three system undergraduate talent training" Today, the construction of the "first Nanjing University" is accelerating. The new pattern of linkage development of Xianlin, Gulou, Suzhou and Pukou campuses is refreshing. "The enrollment plan of Suzhou campus of Nanjing University in 2022 has been set!" It has become the most popular information in NANDA official wechat in the past two years. The joint efforts of Nanjing University and Suzhou have made Hu Jinbo, the Secretary of the Party committee of Nanjing University, LV Jian, the president and the members of the team full of confidence: "the construction of Suzhou campus will produce many 'one', 'first', or even 'only' in the development history of Nanjing University!" Nanyong has its own great spirit In this big discussion, LV Jian, academician and President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was listening and thinking from beginning to end. LV Jian's systematic thinking has always wanted to use the structure of four beams and eight columns to build a framework that can include as much of the spiritual outlook and historical heritage reflected in the history of NTU as possible - just like the underlying architecture of an excellent software. Now, he has a preliminary answer, which is: cultivate people, run universities and integrate the times. NTU's traditional, contemporary and future pursuits are inherited around these three levels. In symposiums and on various occasions over the past few years, Hu Jinbo often talked about the great NTU scholars in his mind: from Li Ruiqing's "education as life, school as family, students as children", to Tao Xingzhi's "love all over the world", and then to Luo Jialun's "responsibility of knowledge", generations of NTU scholars have continuously enriched and developed their bearing as educators and their pursuit of serving the country. In Hu Jinbo's view, the university is like a quiet pan pool. The teachers and students it nourishes are like the leisurely nanyong fish swimming in it. Therefore, in the new era, the spirit and heritage of NTU's hundred and twenty can be refined in the following 16 words: "cultivating scholars with leniency, achieving success in learning, our way in the country, and being new to the world" -- scholars cultivate talents for the party and the country with leniency, governance scholars enjoy learning while studying hard, and learning is successful. The school song has the direction of "my Tao is in the country" in the wish of "my Tao is infinite" a hundred years ago. The way of Nantah is to love the country, serve the country and become a powerful country. It has been innovating and leading on the world stage through the passage of generations. Mo Lifeng, a senior professor of liberal arts, is the first doctor of ancient literature in New China. For these 16 characters, the classical writer expressed his praise for "Kuan" and "Le" with two "excellent". "When I first read it, I suddenly felt like our southern adults." At the party joining ceremony held by the third branch of the Party committee of modern engineering college for a Changjiang Scholar, we talked about these 16 words, the past of Nanjing University and the present and future of Nanjing University. For a famous school with a history of 100 years, the spirit is the faith flowing from the hearts and souls of teachers and students and the torrent of will to roll forward in the long river of history. At Nanjing University, every teacher and student, every alumni and every Southern adult may have their own interpretation of these 120 pursuits. But its background color and belief are the "same trend" sung in the school song. The southern adult, who has crossed the hundred and twenty and is about to embark on a new journey, will continue to climb and forge ahead with weight-bearing as always. (outlook new era)
