"文" which means "good at literature and history"

“Mountain Dream” and “Chinese Dream”
Talking about the future planning of the Chinese subject，Professor Zheng Chun briefly summarized it in one sentence: gathering famous teachers from all over the world，Building a spiritual home，Building a most representative discipline bet365 live casino gamesof Shandong University。
Professor Zheng Chun said，There are many things I want to do，The school also has various plans and requirements，But our most eager and urgent goals have three aspects: first，Gathering famous teachers from all over the world。The two glories in the history bet365 live casino gamesof Shandong University were both marked by the "gathering of the faculty to a moment of prosperity"，It is the so-called: gathering of talents，Masters gather。We think，This should also be a clear sign that our school is heading towards its third glory。What is a university？The professor is the university，Therefore, gathering and cultivating a group of iconic scholars and teachers is a top priority。Second，Building a spiritual home。Since the university was born in this world，She has become the spiritual home where people place many expectations。The famous Harvard motto earnestly warns people: People cannot choose their natural hometown，But you can choose the hometown of your soul。Our other goal，Just try our best to build our college and various disciplines into a true spiritual home，Use our teaching、Research and all work，Building a place that makes students feel friendly、A spiritual home that I am willing to remember and deeply attached to。Third，Create a first-class discipline with iconic significance。Next few years，The college will make every effort to develop the discipline of Chinese language and literature，Strive to consolidate and enhance existing academic status，Achieve distinctive features、Echelon complete、Strong development goals，Build the Chinese subject into the most representative subject for Shandong University to achieve the goal of "preliminarily building a world-class university by the 120th anniversary of the founding of the school"。“This is our ‘mountain dream’，It is also our ‘Chinese Dream’！ ”
