Motto, Vision and Mission

Our Motto

To learn and to apply,  for the benefit of mankind


The above is derived from the Chinese motto, 
quoted from the great Chinese classic Yijing (Book of Change)
and two ancient treatises, 
one from Han dynasty and the other from pre-Qin times.

The original Chinese text can be paraphrased as follows: "Learn every truth and
use the knowledge learned to accomplish every task" and "to learn; to serve".
