The motto of Zhejiang University-"Seeking Truth and Innovating" can be traced back to Qiushi Academy, the predecessor of Zhejiang University.
Since its establishment, Qiushi Academy has advocated "practical learning, preserving the positive and eliminating the false". The school spirit of "seeking truth from facts" has gradually formed among teachers and students, and it will continue to Zhejiang University in the future.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Zhejiang University moved westward to run a school in exile, which made President Zhu Kezhen have a deeper understanding of "seeking truth".
