Abstract: In the new transformation of the world civilization, it is urgent for us to change our way of thinking. This requires to return to the origin while at the same time become more modern. The quantum thinking is not only most advanced but closely connected with the philosophy of Laozi as well. In this way, the harmony of the Chinese and the Western, the Past and the Present, and science, technology and humanities is demonstrating the dawn of a new civilization. Due to the “entanglement” of Science and technology with humanities, science and technology reshapes humanities while humanities guide science and technology. Modern science and technology can provide new theoretical instruments, new research materials and technological means for humanities. We ought to let ethics guide technological innovation and human life, and construct a particular Chinese knowledge system. Universities and colleges shoulder three missions, i.e., “cultivation”, “civilization” and “development”. The premise of strengthening moral education and cultivating people is the unity of three kinds of spirit: scientific spirit with questioning, humanistic spirit with caring, and faith spirit with mission.

Key words: transformation of civilization, science, technology and humanities, the way of university, changing the way of thinking, knowledge system
