Virtuous and pragmatic: be generous to others, proceed from reality, and be practical and not impetuous.

Look at Dongguan's own explanation:

"All rivers run into the sea" embodies the heroism and tolerance of Dongguan's opening up and is a true portrayal of the spirit of reform and opening up in Dongguan. It not only embodies the urban characteristics of Dongguan's special population structure, but also conforms to the location characteristics of Dongguan, which is located at the mouth of the Pearl River and near the sea.

"Paying attention to morality" is not only the humanistic essence of Dongguan, but also an important element of the spirit of the times, which meets the requirements of Dongguan's urban and economic and social development for citizens' moral conduct. "Degao" means observing etiquette, knowing honor and disgrace, respecting morality and being honest, which embodies the excellent humanistic spirit of Dongguan people who are hardworking, simple, honest and clean. "Pragmatism" embodies the work style and life attitude of Dongguan people, and is the most remarkable and attractive spiritual quality of Dongguan people.

"All rivers run into the sea, and all rivers run into the sea, with great virtue" is an interrelated, harmonious and unified whole, which embodies the principle of combining continuity, foresight, characteristics and humanity. It should be said that the formation of Dongguan city spirit is a concrete practice of carrying forward the national spirit, and it is a high generalization and organic combination of Dongguan's outstanding humanistic tradition and the spirit of the times. With profound cultural background and rich connotation of the times, and rich humanistic and regional characteristics, it will surely become a powerful spiritual driving force for urban construction and development in the new era.
