In 1921, when Mr. Tan Kah kee founded Xiamen University, he set "self-improvement and perfection" as the school motto.
"Constant self-improvement" refers to consciously being positive, working hard and never slacking off.It was first seen in the Book of Changes - Qian: "The heaven moves healthily, and the gentleman constantly strives for self-improvement".
"Stop at perfection" means to make unremitting efforts to achieve perfection before stopping, that is, never stop your efforts until you reach a perfect state.The Book of Rites · University said: "The way of university is to be virtuous, to be friendly to the people, and to be good"[72]。

School Song of Xiamen University[72]
School Day
April 6 every year is the anniversary of Xiamen University[8]。
On April 6, 2021, PresidentXi JinpingA congratulatory letter to the 100th anniversary of Xiamen University.Xiamen University is a university with a glorious tradition.Over the past 100 years, the school has adhered to patriotic overseas Chinese leadersfounder of Amoy UniversityHis ambition to establish the school has formed a fine school spirit of "patriotism, revolution, self-improvement and science", created distinctive school running characteristics, cultivated a large number of outstanding talents, and made positive contributions to the prosperity of the country, the happiness of the people, and the overseas dissemination of Chinese culture.[77]

Strong in the South
founder of Amoy UniversityIn November 1920, when he was preparing for Xiamen University, he delivered his "Speech on Preparing for Xiamen University", stressing the need to make Xiamen University a "strong university in the south".However, Xiamen University is widely known as the "strongest university in the south". It was moved to Changting during the Anti Japanese War.From August 1940 to 1941, the Ministry of Education of the National Government held the first and second national college students' academic examinations, and Xiamen University ranked first. The Ministry of Education of the National Government issued a national order for commendation, which made Xiamen University widely known as "the strongest in the South".However, the "strength of the South" does not only refer to the strength of Xiamen University.The word "strong in the south" comes from The Doctrine of the Mean.The original text is: "Zi Lu asked for strength. Confucius said: 'The strength of the south and the strength of the north, and the strength of restraint and the strength of leniency and teaching, without reporting the lack of morality, the strength of the south is also the home of a gentleman. The golden leather is used for death, and the strength of the north is also the home of a strong man. So the gentleman is harmonious and not flowing, strong and correct! Neutral and not relying, strong and correct! There is a way in the country, and it does not stop, strong and correct!There is no way in a country. It will remain unchanged until death. How powerful it is! '"
It can be seen from this that the strong south in the school song means a spirit of "teaching leniently, not repaying without morality", "harmony without flow, neutrality without dependence", "a country with morality, not blocked; a country without morality, not changed until death".It means to educate and treat others with tolerance, and do not retaliate even if others are unreasonable;Be peaceful without drifting with the tide, neutral without bias;The country and peace will not change their aspirations at any time, and they can also adhere to their ideals and integrity when the country is dark and turbulent until they die.This "strength in the south" is also the spirit established by Xiamen University since its founding. It is an independent and free, tolerant and fair, self-improvement, and indomitable mean[73]。
