The Kun comes from The earth is moderate, a good man should always learn from it and bear all things with his high morals. This is the highest level of the combination of universe and mankind in Chinese culture. The motto Self-renewal also means to continue the spirit of Nanyang University, in the hope of providing a unique university education. Our motto was launched at the 15th college anniversary in 2005, with the encouragement of all the students to learn from the universe, to work hard in their studies and moral cultivation, and to treasure the time and keep forging ahead.
