The university’s motto is “尚信塑品·致用立身” (shang xin su pin, zhi yong li shen). The Chinese character “信” embodies faith, belief and integrity. The initial expression, “尚信塑品”, emphasizes the cultivation of a professional character with faith, belief, and integrity as its fundamental elements. Considering faith, beliefs, and integrity as guiding principles for shaping one’s conduct is the foundation for personal development. The essence of the term “用” encompasses: usefulness, proficiency and skillful application. In the subsequent phrase, “致用立身”, the emphasis is on fostering practical abilities, with usefulness, proficiency and skillful application as the core components. It’s a work requirement to consider usefulness, proficiency and skillful application as the benchmarks for evaluating societal service. The motto suggests that members of GZUC should embody a sense of patriotism, uphold a foundation of integrity, embrace a spirit of craftsmanship, and exemplify the distinctive character of GZUC.
