In 2000, Wuhan University merged with Wuhan University of Water Conservancy and Electric Power, Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping and Hubei Medical University to form a new Wuhan University, which opened a new page in the reform and development of the university.
Surrounded by East Lake and Luojia Mountain, Wuhan University is known as "the most beautiful university in China" with beautiful campus environment and picturesque scenery.
From 65438 to 0999, the world authoritative journal Science listed Wuhan University as "one of the most outstanding universities in China". School environment in school profile.

More than 100 years of wind and rain, more than 100 years of tempering, and more than 100 years of glory. Wuhan University is full of confidence and will forge ahead bravely towards a better future! [Edit this paragraph] The previous name of Wuhan University was "National Wuhan University". In the old days, the writing order of Chinese was from right to left, "National Wuhan University", so according to today's habit of going from left to right, it became "learning from great men and building the country by force", which was generous, meaningful and ingenious. There are generally two understandings about "learning from foreigners to control foreigners" (in fact, the meaning is basically the same). "Learn from a great man and build a country by force" means building a country by force like the Han Dynasty, which reminds people of the heroic declaration that "whoever makes me strong will be punished from afar". The other is to connect "Great Hanwu" and become "a country like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty". Needless to say, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a very talented emperor. This understanding is equally noble.
The reverse pronunciation of the name of a university is equally meaningful and magnificent, which is unique in ancient and modern China and foreign countries and unprecedented. This is also one of the places that Wushu college students have always been proud of.
The wonderful coincidence of "learning from the big fellow and strengthening the country by Wu Guoli" was first put forward by Professor Wu Da and Vice President Yu 1950. 1950, at the mobilization meeting of the whole school to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea to join the army, he gave a wonderful speech on the topic of "Learning from Great Men and Building the Country by Armed Forces" (reading the archway of National Wuhan University from left to right), which greatly encouraged teachers and students. "Learning to be an excellent official" has since become famous all over the world. [Edit this paragraph] The definition of school motto is to inherit and carry forward the glorious tradition and excellent school spirit of Wuhan University, and to encourage all teachers and students to constantly renew their spirit, study hard, study rigorously, explore and innovate, and strive for progress. On the basis of soliciting opinions from all sides, the new motto of Wuhan University was determined as "self-improvement, perseverance and innovation" after deliberation by the first school affairs committee of 1993.
The word "constantly striving for self-improvement" comes from the Book of Changes, which says "a gentleman is always striving for self-improvement". Self-respect means self-respect, continuous self-improvement and continuous progress. Self-improvement is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and it should be regarded as a kind of training to achieve the cause. The school was originally a "self-improvement school", and the name also took this meaning.
"Hongyi" comes from The Analects of Confucius, saying that "without Hongyi, there is a long way to go in Xiu Yuan". It means ambitious, strong and decisive. This word was included in the motto of Wuhan University in 1930s.
The use of "self-improvement" and "Hongyi" not only summarizes the above meanings, but also reflects the historical depth and school spirit continuation of Wuda University.
"Seeking truth" means learning, trying to explore the law and pursuing the truth. The language of "Han Shu" is "Make the past serve the present and seek truth from facts".
"Pioneering" means pioneering, innovating and making continuous progress.
In short, the overall meaning of the new motto of Wuhan University is: inherit and carry forward the great spirit of self-improvement of the Chinese nation, set up the lofty ambition of studying hard and making positive contributions to the country's prosperity, strive to explore the objective laws of things, open up new prospects and make new achievements, and run socialist Wuhan University well with strong character and scientific and rigorous academic attitude and make new contributions to the country. [Editor's Note] Throughout the history of Wuhan University, there are four main music officially used as school songs: the school song, the school song of National Wuchang Normal University, the school song of National Wuhan University, and the school song now. The following are described separately.
1. School Song: Created by Zhang Zhidong, Governor of Huguang in the late Qing Dynasty, influenced by foreign school songs and ancient customs in China, the theme is "expressing loyalty and inspiring self-improvement". The format is six sentences plus seven sentences, and * * * is divided into thirteen paragraphs. The melody of the music is vigorous, firm, powerful, smooth and ups and downs, which fully embodies the sacredness of the school and the solemnity of education, and can be described as a masterpiece. However, because the school songs are distributed to schools and military camps in Hubei Province in sequence, they can't be regarded as the school songs of self-improvement schools or dialect schools in a strict sense, so I won't go into details here.
Second, the school song of the National Wuchang Teachers College: it is the school song of the National Wuchang Teachers College, the predecessor of Wuhan University. The school song was written under the auspices of President Zhang Xuan, and the author of the lyrics is unknown. The lyrics are as follows: "Gan Kun is broad-minded, learning Confucianism and Daoguang, and building Wuchang with Chinese studies. Under the pillow of Jinghu Lake, Pingcheng is near the river, and it is beautiful all around. Things are in the south, and teaching is full of twists and turns. Park Sung-yong and Tao Zhu are together and learn to be strong. " The melody is euphemistic and elegant, like flying through the clouds, landing with sound at the same time, without empty feeling, which represents the characteristics of teaching and educating people in normal schools, combining rigidity with softness. As far as lyrics are concerned, this word comes straight to the point, expressing the thoughts of heaven and earth, advocating Confucianism and showing the spiritual characteristics of traditional normal education. Looking at the whole poem, it is natural, and in the form of traditional poems with four words and five sentences, it fully shows the school-running purpose, school-running concept and school-running characteristics of Wuchang Normal University, which makes people know about the school and find it hard to let it go.
Third, the national Wuhan University school song: The peak of Wuhan University school song creation is undisputed, and it is the national Wuhan University school song. The school song was written in the 1930s, and the author of the lyrics is unknown. The current version of the National Wuda University Song is composed of the lyrics recalled by alumni and the music provided by alumni He Shuying, which may be different from other versions. The whole word is as follows: "Huang Gu is in a hurry and knows the song of mountains and rivers. What will happen in the future?" Let's take another example, knowing the world and reading the vast and harmonious cultural relics. Choosing the best place, students and taking off has a long way to go and a long future. Students and soaring, striving for Chongming virtue, hiding, cultivating, resting and swimming, and loving Jingguang's time. "The whole poem tries to quote classics. Although the lyrics of classical Chinese are obscure, the harmony of its melody and profound implication are far beyond the reach of vernacular Chinese. The use of classical Chinese lyrics is not what some people call complacency and conservatism, but the inheritance and development of traditional culture and school spiritual heritage. The school song is the gateway of the university, representing the image and spirit of the university. As an institution of higher learning with many famous teachers and talents, National Wuhan University bears the traditional civilization of China for thousands of years and absorbs the advantages of western learning. Therefore, it is far from a few lines of vernacular Chinese to express and publicize with profound and elegant sentences in classical Chinese. On the basis of combining the rhythm of classical Chinese, you can listen to the school song of National Wuhan University. After listening to meditation, the lyrics are closely linked with the song, and the tune is euphemistic and affectionate, which seems to inspire people. Looking at the whole poem, it is a rare masterpiece, with ups and downs and distinct levels, which integrates the scenery, feelings, characters and thoughts of National Wuhan University without revealing traces, giving people a feeling of grandeur and lightness.
Fourth, the current school song: Luo Xuan wrote lyrics and Chen Guoquan composed music. Strictly speaking, it is a school song, recorded in 1998. The lyrics are temporarily listed as follows: "On the shore of East Lake, on Luojia Mountain, this is our dear school. After a hundred years' vicissitudes, Hongyi is constantly striving for self-improvement, with deep roots, luxuriant leaves, peaches and plums, and fragrance all over the garden. Ah ... the beautiful Luojia Mountain. How many eagles soar, soar. Sail the Yangtze River and head for the ocean, where we grew up. Morality and industry go hand in hand, be realistic and innovative, seek common ground while reserving differences, and look to the future, and I will create greater glories. Ah ... Luojiashan in my heart. There are many hardships today, and tomorrow will be a pillar, and tomorrow will be a pillar. " Its lyrics are written in vernacular, which is easy to understand, but slightly frivolous. In Mao Han's words, "(the present school song) is far less important and meaningful than the old school song in the national period." The current school song is mainly centered on the current school motto. The motto of Wuhan University is "self-improvement, pioneering and innovative". The four spirits of the school motto are "after a hundred years of vicissitudes, Hony is constantly striving for self-improvement, with deep roots and fragrant peaches and plums" and "moral education goes hand in hand, seeking innovation and change, achieving great harmony in the future and creating my brilliance together". But beyond that, the content is empty, the phonology is insufficient, and the image is a bit dull, which can't fully reflect the school spirit and philosophy of Wuhan University. Although the present school song is soft and beautiful, the tune is too high, which makes it difficult for students without vocal training to complete the music according to the original tune. This is a major failure of the current school song, which does not follow the catchy style of the original school song at all. To sum up, the present school song is a song with the flavor of the times, but it is not suitable for Wuhan University with a glorious history of one hundred years. [ 1]
