张岱年认为,自强不息、厚德载物,是中华民族精神的核心和主要表现。作为中华民族精神,自强不息的历史内涵,主要表现在政治生活、个人生活及生活态度上;厚德载物的历史内涵,主要表现在国家民族关系、文化价值观、人际关系及治国之道上。自强不息、厚德载物的历史价值主要表现为:促进中国古代文化的发展;铸就中国古代知识分子的优良品格;推动中国社会的绵延不断的变革。

Zhang Dainian holds that the motto of ＂Strengthen self without stopping, and hold world with virtue＂ is the core and manifestation of the Chinese national spirit. The historical connotation of ＂Strengthen self without stopping＂ manifests itself in the political life, individual life and working attitude, while ＂Hold world with virtue＂ shows itself in the national relationship, cultural value, human relationship and state management. The historical value of this motto consists in the promotion of ancient Chinese culture, making of fine morality of ancient Chinese scholars, and the unceasing revolution of Chinese society.
