Anecdotes of school construction

In the early days of the school, the founders of Bao Deming and Dr. Li Yingzhao decided to establish Chongwen women's business college in Danshui to commemorate their fathers, Mr. Li chongbang and Mr. Bao Xiongwen. When he was raising money to buy the school land, bishop Niu ruowang, the Catholic Church, heard the news and offered to buy a piece of land near Yuanshan, Taipei, China, as well as the school building of Mingchuan kindergarten, which was run by Liu Deling, Liu Mingchuan's daughter.

At that time, due to various reasons, Mingchuan kindergarten was unable to continue to maintain, hoping that someone could help solve the dilemma. The founder immediately agreed to take over, and rebuilt the school building, and retained the name of "Mingchuan", in memory of Governor Liu Mingchuan's governing of Taiwan in the late Qing Dynasty, laying the foundation for modernization, and expressing respect for the sages. He also hoped to use it as an example to inspire teachers and students He is ambitious and thinks of the best when he sees the best.

Cultural tradition

school badge

The new logo of the school keeps Yang Ying as the main symbolic pattern. The shape is simplified into three bottom-up Gradual Refining curves, which shows the regular shape. It is a combination of hardness and softness, and is full of modern sense visually. Between the new and old school emblem, the posture of raising the eagle, the shape of the eagle's head, the expression based on lines, and the color matching of red, blue and white are all the design characteristics of inheritance. In addition, the Earth Totem under the Yingyang pattern represents the significance of internationalization. The design of the earth is especially in line with the present feeling of Yangying. It achieves a balance between the concrete and the abstract, and has the dual significance of facing the sunrise and flying to the international. The shape is smooth but not eye-catching, forming a very high sense of wholeness with Yangying. On the whole, the two wings of the flying eagle extend beyond the earth, which means that the students of Ming Dynasty are flying high and embracing the world no distant Buddha. The logo follows the original round shape, and integrates all the patterns completely and powerfully, with the Chinese and English characters above and below as the background
