School motto of Linzhou No.4 Middle School

Loyalty is the beauty of quality, and learning is the ultimate virtue.

Interpretation: "Faithfulness is the beauty of quality, and diligence is the ultimate virtue" is the school motto of Linzhou No.4 Middle School, which originated from Wang Fuzhi, a philosopher and thinker in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Wang Fuzhi, also known as Wang Chuanshan, a native of Hengyang, Hunan Province, is a master of China's simple materialism. He, Huang Zongxi and Gu are also called the three great thinkers, and his theory is extremely profound. "Faith is the beauty of quality, and learning is the extreme of virtue", and quality means texture, essence and quality; Virtue means conduct, behavior and habits. Beauty and extreme mean perfection, best and extreme. This sentence has two meanings: first, a person's most perfect quality is loyalty, and a person's most beautiful character is diligence; The second meaning is that a person should have good quality first, and study hard the day after tomorrow, so as to develop good quality and have the ability to serve the society. Loyalty is quality, which is the innate nature of human beings; The pursuit of virtue is an acquired habit of human beings. Loyalty belongs to the category of human ideology, while studiousness belongs to the category of human behavior habits. A person has the inherent quality of loyalty and honesty, and has the habit of being diligent and studious, that is, having both ability and political integrity. Only people with both ability and political integrity can do great things.
