==== Ningbo Campus ====
[[File:ZJUNIT 2020-06-04.jpg|thumb|The campus of NingboTech as well as ZJU's Ningbo Campus|250x250px]]
The Ningbo campus was initiated as a collaboration with Ningbo city government in September 2017, with the campus' administration founded in September 2019. It was based on the campus of the former [[NingboTech University|Ningbo Institute of Technology (NIT) of Zhejiang University]] (now NingboTech University). Zhejiang University library has not set up a branch library in the campus, yet its resources are available at NingboTech's library. The campus is served by South Higher Education Park Station of [[Ningbo Rail Transit]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=欢迎同学们！宁波地铁直达你的大学 攻略在此-新闻中心-中国宁波网 |url=http://news.cnnb.com.cn/system/2021/09/02/030285004.shtml |access-date=2022-05-05 |website=news.cnnb.com.cn |archive-date=September 2, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210902085215/http://news.cnnb.com.cn/system/2021/09/02/030285004.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref> The Polytechnic Institute of Zhejiang University started a branch in the campus since October 2016.

== University identity and culture ==
[[File:1963-05 1963年 竺可桢.jpg|thumb|[[Chu Coching|Chu Kochen]] is regarded as the greatest president of Zhejiang University, who served the role during 1936–1949]]

=== Motto ===
During the University Council meeting held in [[Yizhou District, Hechi|Yishan]], [[Guangxi]] on 19 November 1938, "seeking truth" ({{Lang-zh|c=求是|l=|p=Qiúshì}}) was made the motto of the university, upon President Chu Kochen's advice. Qiushi is an excerpt of the famous quote in [[Yangmingism]], "A [[Junzi|Gentleman]] learns only to know what is right. ({{Lang-zh|c=君子之學，唯求其是}})"  It was made the name of the former body Qiushi Academy in 1897, which means seeking truth and has the same pronunciation as truth in English. According to Chu,{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}} 
{{Cquote
| quote = Seeking truth is not limited to studying hard or doing experiments in the lab. As [[Doctrine of the Mean]] says, seeking truth is 'to study extensively, inquire prudently, think carefully, distinguish clearly, and practice earnestly.'
}}

In May 1988, "pursuing innovation" was added to the university motto by the university council, to adapt the motto to the times of [[Chinese economic reform|reforms and opening up]]. President [[Lu Yongxiang (engineer)|Lu Yongxiang]] explained in 1992,{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}

{{Cquote
| quote = Strictly speaking, pursuing innovation is included in seeking truth, [...] but people often regard seeking truth as being practical, emphasising the acknowledgement and application of the existing body of knowledge and the objective analysis and knowledge of the reality, with no emphasis on being creative and innovative.
}}

=== Anthem ===
{{External media|float=right|video1=[https://www.zju.edu.cn/english/2018/0519/c19948a812253/page.htm Zhejiang University Anthem]}}

During the 19 November 1938 university council meeting, the [[neo-Confucianism]] scholar [[Ma Yifu]], who was teaching at Chekiang was invited by President Chu to be the lyric writer of the university anthem, upon Chu's advice. However, as the lyric by Ma was written in [[Classical Chinese]] and thus difficult-to-understand, the anthem wasn't composed until Professor Ying Shangneng at [[Shanghai Conservatory of Music|National Conservatory of Music]] was invited to compose the anthem in the summer of 1941. In 2014, the Zhejiang University Anthem was ranked the most popular university anthem, according to an online survey by the news office of the Ministry of Education.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-04-30 |title=高校十大校歌排名出炉 浙大文言校歌登榜首 |url=http://edu.sina.com.cn/gaokao/2014-04-30/0822416791.shtml |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200722044501/http://edu.sina.com.cn/gaokao/2014-04-30/0822416791.shtml |archive-date=July 22, 2020 |access-date=2022-05-01 |website=Yangtse Evening Post |via=Sina Education}}</ref>
