The spirit of seeking truth is the cultural blood of Zhejiang University. Qiushi Academy at the beginning of its establishment established the initial intention of "seeking truth" for Zhejiang University. Zhejiang University formally established the spirit of "seeking truth from facts" as its motto during the Zhu Kezhen period and the westward migration period. After the merger of the four universities, Zhejiang University put forward the slogan of "seeking truth and innovation" in the new period; Zhejiang University in the new era continues to inherit the tradition of "seeking truth and innovation".
Innovation and truth-seeking come down in one continuous line. Innovation is based on the spirit of seeking truth to answer the questions of the times, which contains the continuous development of the spirit of seeking truth.
The development of truth-seeking spirit in Zhejiang University shows that university culture can not be separated from the guidance of university spirit, and universities should pay attention to casting university spirit into great moral feelings.
