We live in an era full of problems such as violence, conflict, poverty, environmental degradation, species extinction, self-centered and so on. The history of mankind is increasingly becoming a race between knowledge and issues. Thus, it is generally believed that the purpose of entering university is to obtain knowledge. But knowledge can not solve all problems, the knowledge society is not our end, the knowledge society will evolve to the intelligence community, and higher education is the main force driving this change. In this evolution, which in terms of university education will mean? What is the best response? So, we need be clearer to face and recognize ourselves, looking for a fulcrum to search for the higher realm of the meaning of life, which is the university's awareness of their own. The "fulcrum" is wisdom.The most important task of university education is to use a rigorous and effective way to help people to learn and understand how to build a better world, therefore, the university needs a whole innovation, the highest goal is to develop and lead the human intelligence. This is the value of university education and the need for transcendence, that is also the self-realization of university education. Facing opportunities and challenges of information, knowledge,globalization, diversification, market, between the pressure of the extraordinary goals and the real world in which services are not perfect, between their own strength and the restrictions of the outside world, how the modern university plays their own model role, adhering to the heavy genetic basis? This is a test of the wisdom of university education.Wisdom is not a single, it is a more advanced human understanding, practice and lifestyle with a high degree of flexibility and creativity, the existence higher than usual, the present state of treatment of the whole world. In-depth study is the cornerstone leading to wisdom, critical thinking and ethical virtue are the wisdom companions. Wisdom is comprehensive of knowledge, motivation, emotion, moral and personal character and several other aspects, is a free land of self-consciousness full of life. Wisdom allows us to seek a better world, including the world itself and life situation in it.Information, science, knowledge, philosophy, wisdom are intertwined, but in general, is followed by progressive and eventually leading to wisdom. In this sense, the philosophy is closest to wisdom, and universities are closest to the philosophy and wisdom. Philosophy is wisdom, but wisdom is not just philosophy. Wisdom possesses the ultimate value, because it is integration of the value of science and philosophy, but is not just related to science and philosophy. The purpose of university education pursuing science, knowledge, philosophy is to promote wisdom. Wisdom of university education is through the university history and process of growth, generating the best mental structure, mental strength and ability to act reflected by overall? including education awareness, reasoning, will, virtue ethics and education activities. University education wisdom is a practical wisdom of thinking and action, and is not equivalent to philosophical wisdom, teaching wisdom or metaphysical wisdom, ethical wisdom. the essence of narrowing will result in more and more far between wisdom and university education.Wisdom can be divided into two categories, not only personal wisdom, but also the wisdom of social institutions. As the social institutions leading personal and social wisdom, universities must have their own wisdom before they spread and nurture students' wisdom. Therefore, there are two main tasks of university education, the first one is to own its wisdom, and the second one is to promote students' intellectual development. Universities should provide real opportunities for themselves to understand and probe into university education practice's ontology, epistemology, and political, economic, technical and historical issues as a basis to develop their own practical wisdom. Only the "seamless campus" is possible for students to develop wisdom and to enable students to be their own. To create a "seamless campus", which is integration of the overall experience of students, need to correctly understand and handle the relationship between teachers and students, teaching knowledge and training mental, the natural environment and human environment, as well as past, present and future.University is a growing "living organisms", university education is an advanced vital activity, and the need for human to be upward. In this process, to promote the Smart life and to lead the social wisdom is the ultimate goal and inner soul of university education. But today the university education split the red line connecting knowledge and passion for the pursuit of life, resulting in lots of problems and shortcomings. Only the integration of science, philosophy, art and creation serves as the body of the university education which supports for the soul of university education, that is also the university education's nature regression and self-realization.
