The motto “the fish that evolves into a dragon”, at the core of all our activities, is the spirit of the campus culture, that sits in an area, where, according to the legend, fish turned into dragons. Following on this tradition, the University will strive to live up to this motto.
This legendary area, called “Yuhuazhai” (the Yuhua Village), was the place where Princess Yuhua, daughter of King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty, built a stage to offer sacrifices to Heaven (The remains from the Yangshao Civilization - around B.C. — - B.C.—). This stage was found during the construction of the campus and a beautiful park was built around that platform. In the Tang Dynasty (618 A.D. - 907 A.D.), this area was the auspicious place where imperial examination candidates took a sojourn and pray for good luck, hoping that they could be someone useful to society, in other words, to become a dragon. After that, people change the name “Yuhua” (the flower in rain) into “Yuhua鱼化” (the fish evolves into a dragon). Since those days, it is said that whoever comes to this land will achieve their goals and fulfill their aspirations. Our core values are aligned with our motto, and we wish that not only all XAIU students, but also all academics and visitors achieve their dreams whilst in our campus.
