The campus covers an area of 23,000 square meters, with Qiuzhen Building and Renai Building, blue bricks and gray tiles, antique, and a combination of Chinese and Western, showing the history of the school; Yucai main building and library building stand on the inner ring road, quietly guarding the tranquility and calmness of the ancient canal; The school's 5,000-square-meter plastic playground and open cast iron fence are full of modern school civilization and openness. Yucai practices the concept of "cultivating humanistic spirit" in campus culture, and strives to highlight the characteristics of traditional culture in school design and class culture construction. From the recitation of ancient poems promoting Guangling culture to the childlike performance of Yuecheng Poetry Society, the ancient rhyme is fragrant and the hearts of teachers and students are full of light. The teachers and students of the school strive to create a scholarly campus with "beauty outside and wisdom inside", and they recite it themselves, becoming the most poetic cultural composition on campus. At present, the school has provincial-level teachers 1 person, national outstanding educators 1 person, 2 special guidance experts, and more than 30 urban third-level backbones. Under the nourishment and edification of such ancient city history and campus culture, the school adheres to the road of connotation development and gradually forms the school-running characteristics of "independent learning, self-education and self-development". Over the years, the school has been working quietly in the field of subjectivity research. From the Ninth Five-Year Plan to the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, it has devoted itself wholeheartedly to the exploration and practice of students' personality development, worked hard in research, innovated in progress, developed in innovation, and won the honor of "provincial excellent subject" in the new trend of curriculum reform.

After years of exploration, Yucai Primary School has formed a unique concept of running a school and ranks among the "famous schools in China". It can be said that it is the traditional culture of China that nourishes the education, and the ancient city of Yangzhou endows the school with unique development conditions. While cherishing their own cultural blood, talented people are also persistently looking for a development path that meets the needs of the times and their own needs. Educators are drawing a new blueprint with wisdom and writing a new chapter with painstaking efforts! Interpretation of school emblem 1. Composition of the school emblem: the main pattern of the school emblem is a new bud of a bone tree composed of the initial letter YC of Yucai, with an arc below it, and the full name and founding date of the school are marked in Chinese and Pinyin. 2. Pattern and meaning: The healthy bone tree was planted when 1888 was founded. "Healthy Bone Bud" symbolizes not only the students who have trained talents, but also the century-old famous school of "cultivating talents". "Arc" is not only a three-dimensional historical stage, but also like a curved and clear ancient canal. The overall pattern symbolizes Yucai Primary School next to the ancient canal. Since its establishment, the school has been focusing on students' self-development and has trained generations of talents. 3, color and meaning: the image is green, symbolizing ideals, vitality and vitality. Interpretation of school songs Sailing on the beautiful ancient canal ①, the ideal sail is sailing, and under the tall skeleton tree ②, there are our happy smiling faces. Inheriting kindness and seeking truth (3) Blooming wisdom and fragrance, spreading the shade of happiness, flying the ideals in your heart and building flowers in bud. The voice of the book is beautiful, the songs are singing, and we are growing up happily here. Inspirational today, self-improvement tomorrow. Yucai, Yucai, win glory for Yucai. Ah! Students, set sail, set sail. Note: ① Yucai Primary School is located in Nantong West Road, next to the ancient canal. ② Yucai Primary School was founded in 1888, formerly Mujili Girls' School. There is a tall skeleton tree in the northeast corner of the school playground, which was planted by Ms. Mu Jili, the founder of the school, and now it is "an ancient and famous tree in Yangzhou". ③: Yucai Primary School motto. "Kindness" comes from The Analects. The language of "seeking truth" expresses Tao Xingzhi's "teaching thousands of people to seek truth and learning thousands of things to be real people". Lyrics Interpretation: With the soft morning light, the Yucai Garden beside the ancient canal wakes up in the lively laughter of the children, and every day, with a brand-new attitude, it rushes to the ideal hopefully. After a hundred years of vicissitudes, the skeleton tree planted by Ms. Mu, the founder of the school, is still lush, witnessing the tempering of Yucai Primary School as a historical old man. Generations of talents not only put the moral standard of educating students to be "people who love themselves, others, nature and society" in the first place, but also take the pursuit of truth and thirst for science as their firm goal. Let students be "benevolent" with tolerance and confidence, and more importantly, be "truth-seeking" with ideals and wisdom. The bough blooms and falls, and it grows with the children like sincere friends. Listen to children's reading, share their laughter, appreciate their self-esteem and self-confidence, taste their ideal happiness, and expect them to meet it again tomorrow. The ancient bougainvillea smiled and was full of vitality, which was written in the children's modest words and deeds, in the children's vigorous vitality and in every child's vivid face. She seems to see the seeds of "kindness and truth-seeking" sown in the hearts of children, which are quietly taking root ... The school motto interprets the four-word school motto of "kindness and truth-seeking", which is based on the past and originated from tradition; Now look, keep pace with the times. "Kindness" comes from The Analects. Its meaning is very rich, and it has two basic meanings: one is to love others, and the other is to get along with others. Shuowen is interpreted as "benevolence, affinity and obedience", which means that the relationship between people is friendly, friendly and harmonious. Mencius also said, "Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, It is a kind of interpersonal relationship that precedes others, from inside to outside, from near to far. This kind of friendship has both inferiority and intimacy. This is a kind of "benevolence" that is divorced from the "natural nature" of human beings. "Seeking truth" comes from Tao Xingzhi's "teaching thousands of people to seek truth and learning thousands of things to be real people". The true and objective situation, state, essence and law of things; Sincerity is the most important quality of people (Confessions of Marx). Seeking truth means knowing the world, exploring laws, advocating science, upholding truth and pursuing truth, goodness and beauty. Kindness and truth-seeking complement each other. Kindness is the destination of seeking truth, and seeking truth is for kindness; Seeking truth is benevolent, and seeking truth can be benevolent; At the same time, only by paying attention to goodness can we better seek truth. "Kindness and seeking truth" is the vision of educating people to pursue educational ideals, the interpretation of educational ideal practice and the refinement of educational ideal personality. Yucai Primary School was founded in 1888. Its predecessor was the "girls' school for studying science" founded by the church. There is a "Shouan Temple" in the school, which advocates Confucianism. The "Wenfeng Pagoda" not far from the school gate means "literary prosperity", and the ancient canal has been a gathering place for literati and scholars since ancient times; Buildings such as "Jiu Feng Garden", "Hunan Guild Hall" and "Lushi Guild Hall" are also located within this kilometer, which can be described as a gathering of humanities. Although the school originated from the church, it has a certain religious and cultural color, and its advanced curriculum was born out of the United States, but it was integrated into the tradition of China. On the basis of its mathematics, English, science and other disciplines, the school also added traditional curriculum culture such as ancient prose, calligraphy and embroidery at the beginning of its establishment. There is quite a school-running concept of combining Chinese and western cultures and making foreign things serve China. In form, it draws lessons from foreign advanced educational ideas, while in content, it is inseparable from China's educational reality. The perfect combination of "reality" and "bringing" is given. At the same time, the joining of some excellent private school teachers, on the basis of vigorously promoting Confucianism, also requires the original students to master scientific and cultural knowledge and all advanced cultures. Throughout the long history of the school, the school not only puts the moral standard of educating students to be "people who love themselves, others, society and nature" in the first place, but also allows students to develop good behavior habits from an early age, construct the moral connotation of capitalized people, and be a tolerant and confident "caring" person. And take cultivating "independent learning and differential development" as the educational goal of "seeking truth", strive to practice the scientific spirit of seeking truth and eager for progress, and be a wise person, a pure person and a modern person. In recent years, the school has made a useful attempt around the school motto of "being kind and seeking truth". On the one hand, vigorously carry out a series of educational activities to carry forward the "humanistic spirit". Through the implementation of school-based curriculum and the practice of educational activities, we have painted a rich life background for students. At present, the school has officially issued two school-based textbooks, Moon City Poetry and China Literature and History Story. Also launched a famous book promotion and reading activities. Strolling through the campus, we can see that from the recitation of ancient poems promoting Guangling culture to the childlike performance of Yuecheng Poetry Society, the ancient rhyme is fragrant, and the hearts of teachers and students are full of light; From the accumulation of China's knowledge of literature and history to the promotion of world cultural classics, it is gradual, learning from others' strengths and forming its own system. The school strives to make teachers and students become the most poetic "benevolence" cultural composition by creating a scholarly campus with "beauty outside and wisdom inside". On the other hand, in order to develop and respect people, the school boldly reformed its learning style. From the Eighth Five-Year Plan, the Ninth Five-Year Plan to the Tenth Five-Year Plan, they all devoted themselves to the practical exploration and research of students' personality development, and they were unique in the field of subjectivity research and won numerous awards. Nowadays, talents are based on students' personality differences. In order to meet the individualized learning needs and promote the development of each student, the 11th Five-Year Plan project "Treat Students' Individual Differences" has been established and is ready to go. Today, this requires us to adhere to the talent view of "benevolence and truth-seeking", the quality view of all-round development and the value view of personality growth, and constantly enhance the respect of teachers and students for "benevolence and love", the desire for "science and truth" and the compatibility of "the combination of Chinese and western". The cultural construction of "benevolence and truth-seeking" in schools is to persist in advocating the cultural spirit of "perfection and truth" and actively create a learning ecological environment of sincere cooperation, independent exploration and differential development between teachers and students; Actively create a team spirit of * * * win-win, harmonious development and harmony between teachers and students; Actively carry forward the spirit of the times that teachers and students are enterprising, fearless and never stop. What we call "benevolence and truth-seeking" is not only the need to establish the reproduction and re-creation of human civilization, but also the need to establish a harmonious society, and it is also the need to purify the soul and realize self-worth. The benevolent and realistic thought fully embodies the richness of historical and cultural cities. Imagine that the idea of being kind and seeking truth may benefit from the long-term cultivation of ancient regional civilization; The benevolent and realistic thought may benefit from accepting the rolling waves of canal culture; Talent's thought of benevolence and truth-seeking may benefit from the broad cultural mind created by being located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and impacting the plain; The sincerity and honesty of Guangling culture and even China traditional culture may be beneficial to talents' thoughts of benevolence, righteousness and truth-seeking. The talent's thought of benevolence, righteousness and truth-seeking may benefit from the indomitable spirit and the fashion of the times. If "benevolence and truth-seeking" are taken as the foundation of the ideological system of running a school, then with the Confucian educational thought of "benevolence", our teachers and students may have a moral sky and a humanistic ocean; With the "true" scientific spirit, our teachers and students have a better life world and more free learning space. In this sense, the idea of "benevolence and truth-seeking" is not only a simple look back on the history of educating people for a hundred years, but also a vision for a beautiful education blueprint; It is not only a simple superposition of Chinese and western educational views of talents, but also an educational innovation combining Chinese and foreign. In short, its school motto embodies the profound cultural accumulation and fruitful school-running achievements of a hundred years of education.
