Analysis of importance of TG Water CultureQuest Yang Bin Fan Lingling （ 1 ） Abstract： The awareness of quest constitutes the essence and demonstrates the basic characteristic of the water culture in the Three Gorges areas. The legend of King Yu controlling floods by dredging the Three Gorges marked the budding of this spirit. Qu Yuan fully demonstrated the essence of the spirit by a frequently quoted saying, ＂yet high and low I will search with my will unbending＂, ＂I will not regret a thousand death to die＂. The inscription of White Crane Ridge displayed the ancient fashion of the spirit. The construction of the Three Gorges Project interpreted the spirit of exploring of the Three Gorges water culture. The local higher education institution, with its motto ＂quest＂, can be taken as a model in carrying forward the spirit of＂constant exploration＂. Key words： awareness of quest; the Three Gorges; water
