Over the past century, Beihang has cultivated a good spirit of “hard work and plain living, diligence, all-round development and bold innovation” that passed down from generation to generation, and it will also be carried forward into the future.

“Hard work and plain living” represents the idea of doing arduous pioneering work with both feet on the ground, more working and less talking; “diligence” is to study assiduously, love science and seek truth; “all-round development” embodies the possession of both virtue and brilliance, excellent character and academic performance, and the unity of knowing and doing; “bold innovation” represents the qualities of perseverance, being bold in exploration and being a pioneer with the goal of highest excellence.
