The school motto of , the Graduate School of the Academy of Social Sciences, is "Study diligently, think carefully, discern clearly, and practice wisely." They are respectively from "The Analects of Confucius·Taibo", "Chapter 20 of the Doctrine of the Mean" and "Huangji Jingshi Shu·Observation of Things". The original intention of the ancient text is to summarize the learning methods and processes of Confucian scholars studying classics, aiming to study and conduct themselves for the Confucian social ideals of self-cultivation, family order, country governance, and world peace. Duxue: Duxue, Duxue, profound meaning. Study hard, that is, learn knowledge with a serious and sincere attitude. Think carefully: It emphasizes the need to think carefully about what you have learned. "Learning without thinking means nothing." If you only focus on learning but not on thinking, you may be deceived and confused. Discernment: means having the ability to discern wisely. If you don’t have “clear discernment” in learning, and you don’t distinguish between true and false, good and bad, what you learn, it will be difficult to improve yourself. Therefore, training the ability to clearly distinguish right from wrong, truth from falsehood, good from evil is the key to good learning. Shang Xing: We further emphasize the need to attach importance to practice, advocate putting the knowledge learned into practice, and use practical actions to repay society, serve the country, contribute to the nation, and promote development.
