The Preface states: "The journal's name Liyun carries both the meaning of following the footsteps of the predecessors and the purpose of promoting the academic tradition of Beijing Normal University. The characters 'Liyun' originally served as the name of the study room of the former president of Beijing Normal University, Professor Chen Yuan. Professor Chen Yuan chose this name for two reasons: first, to express his sense of belonging to his ancestors; second, because he firmly believed that studying is like farming—equal effort yields equal rewards."
