The motto of Ningbo University is "Seeking truth from facts, applying what you have learned".
the word "seeking truth from facts" comes from "learning from the past and seeking truth from facts" in Bangu's Biography of the Han River, which means to proceed from reality, seek truth, grasp the law and be brave in innovation.
"Practicing the world" is a profound way to study for the world put forward by Huang Zongxi of East Zhejiang School. Cheng Gang, secretary of the Party Committee of Ningbo University, believes that "seeking truth from facts, being practical" has far-reaching implications and rich connotations, which embodies the regional cultural characteristics of Ningbo and the school-running philosophy and tradition of Ningda. "Seeking truth from facts, being practical" was inscribed by the famous calligrapher Mr. Sha Menghai in 1988, which has exerted great influence on teachers, students, alumni and all walks of life.

In March, 1984, Bao Yugang, the "world ship king", generously donated money to establish Ningbo University in his hometown, and Deng Xiaoping wrote the name of the school. Ningbo is the birthplace of the famous "East Zhejiang School" and "Ningbo Gang" in history.
The "East Zhejiang School" is well-known in the history circle for its "emphasis on studying historical materials and applying the classics". Most of the business giants of "Ningbo Gang" were born in poverty, and started with honesty and practical application. Seeking truth is the tradition of "East Zhejiang School", while "Honesty" and "Practicing the World" are the temperament of "Ningbo Gang".
Zhu Zhaoxiang, who grew up in Ningbo, admires this spirit very much. At the principal's office meeting shortly after the start of school in Ningda, he proposed that "seeking truth from facts and applying the world" should be taken as the school motto of Ningda.
in March, 28, the school officially confirmed "seeking truth from facts, applying practical experience" as the motto of Ningbo university. Shen Manhong, president of Ningbo University, believes that the motto of Ningda University, "seeking truth from facts and applying the world", contains the purpose, method and value of studying, embodies the ideal, belief and pursuit of Ning's adult, and expresses the historical mission and social responsibility of Ningbo University.
"Seeking truth from facts, applying what you have learned" requires Ning to be pragmatic, apply what he has learned, innovate and start a business, and make contributions to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
