School Emblem:
The emblem of the Northeast Asia Studies adopts a circular design. The outer ring bears the Chinese and English names of the School, while at its core is the iconic image of an open book combining the Chinese characters “東”(East),“北”(North)and “亚”(Asia). The graphical integration of the three Chinese characters "東," "北," and "亚" echoes the School's name and research scope, while the open book motif emphasizes its academic focus. The emblem as a whole conveys a sense of solemnity, authority, and scholarly excellence.
School Motto:
文德兼修,经纬天下。
"文德兼修" means to cultivate both moral integrity and intellectual refinement. This phrase is derived from The Analects of Confucius ("故远人不服,则修文德以来之"). It aligns with the School's belief in the power of virtue to influence and lead internationally, highlighting its distinctive academic characteristics.
"经纬天下" means to govern and organize the world with comprehensive principles. This phrase is inspired by The Grand Scribe's Records ("普施明法,经纬天下,永为仪则"). It aligns with the School’s active involvement in international governance and its commitment to contributing to global harmony.
