明澤樓（教學大樓）

含義：感念本校精神導師李雪廬老居士（法諱德明）的德澤，以此命名，表示本校的理念傳承。

用典：《易經‧兌卦》：「麗澤兌，君子以朋友講習」，教學大樓以此命名，期許在這棟大樓講課、學習的師生都能如論語所說：「學而時習之不亦說乎，有朋自遠方來不亦樂乎。」

Ming-Ze Building (The First Teaching Building)

In memory of the mentor of the school, Xue-Lu Li, this building is named after him, whose also name in Buddhism is Ming-De, to present the school’s ideal and heritage.

The second character of the name “Ze” is inspired by one of the Sixty-four Hexagrams called “Due Hexagram” in the Book of Changes, which is composed of “Li Trigram” and “Ze Trgram,” indicating that a man of noble character should study and practice with friends in peaceful joy. The name of this building is meant to expect the teachers and the students who teach and study in this building to follow what they have learned from the Analects of Confucius: “Isn't it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned? Isn't it also great when friends visit from distant places?

明秀樓（第二教學大樓）

為了紀念這座建築物的主要捐助者，明秀樓的第二個字“秀”，即是以她的名字中之“秀”字來命名。 此外，“秀”在中文裡也被定義為“卓越”的意思。第二教學大樓以此含意命名，期許我們培養的弘明高中學生，都是具有文化素養的卓越人才。

Ming-Xiu Building (The Second Teaching Building)

In honor of those who have made contributions to this building, the second character of the name, “Xiu,” comes from the majority of the donors of Hong-Ming educational organizations, whose names happen to carry the character “Xiu.” Furthermore, “Xiu” is also defined as “Excellence” in Chinese. By virtue of this definition, we anticipate that students in Hong-Ming High School will grow into excellent people with cultural cultivation.

明健堂（體育館）

含義：希望使用體育館運動的師生，都能身體健康，充滿活力。

用典：《易經‧乾卦 》：「天行健，君子以自強不息」，體育館以此含義命名，期許在這裏活動的師生都能自立自強，效法天德，剛健不息。

Ming-Jiang Hall (The Auditorium)

The auditorium is named Ming-Jiang Hall, in which the second character “Jiang” means being strong and healthy in Chinese. All the teachers and students using this place are expected to be healthy and energetic.

 “Jiang” also comes from the first hexagram of the Sixty-four Hexagrams called “Qian Hexagram,” which indicates “As Heaven maintains vigor through movement, a man of noble character should constantly strive for self-perfection!” Exercising in this space, teachers and students are expected to emulate the virtue of Heaven and constantly strive for self-perfection.

明時樓（學生宿舍）

含義：希望居住在宿舍的學生，都能準時作息，生活規律。

用典：《易經‧隨卦 》：「君子以嚮晦入宴息」「隨時之義大矣哉」，宿舍以此含義命名，期許居住在裏面的學生效法前賢，配合天地運行而正常作息，生活規律，專心學習。

Ming-Shi Building (The Student Dormitory)

“Shi” means “time” in Chinese, and it also refers to being punctual. Accordingly, the students who stay in the dormitory are expected to live a regular life. 

As the 17th Hexagram in the Book of Changes, “Sui Hexagram” indicates, “A man of noble character should take a rest at sunset. How significant it is to follow the order of nature.” The name of the dormitory building is based on this hexagram in the hope that the students will live a regular life and focus on studying just as the sages follow the orbiting of the universe.

明頤樓（廚房）

含義：「頤」是人的面頰，所以吃到美食是「大快朵頤」，廚房以此命名， 希望全校師生能享用美味健康的伙食。

用典：《易經‧頤卦 》：「君子以慎言語節飲食」，雖然是「大快朵頤」的美食當前，仍舊要有節制的取用，才符合養生的原則；而所謂「病從口入，禍從口出」，謹慎言語，更是君子修養自身的重要美德。

Ming-Yi Building (The School Kitchen)

“Yi” refers to the cheeks of a person in Chinese. The school kitchen is named Ming-Yi Building because we hope the teachers and students can enjoy tasty and healthy food to the satisfaction of their cheeks 

“Yi Hexagram,” the 27th Hexagram in the Book of Changes, indicates, “A man of noble character should be careful with his language and diet.” Although we have plenty of delicious food on the table to enjoy, we need to be abstemious in eating and drinking. This way, we may stay healthy and enjoy longevity.
