Flowers were left at the scene but were removed by authorities.
One man who came to lay a bouquet of chrysanthemums near the school gates said: "They were just 18, 19-year-old kids. It's such a pity and so sad."
He added: "We really have to give young people better psychological guidance."
The stabbings came after 35 people were killed in a car attack in southern China on Monday in what is believed to be the deadliest act of public violence in the country in decades.

Authorities charged a 62-year-old man this weekend in the city of Zhuhai in relation to the incident.
He is said to have rammed his car into a crowd outside a sports arena, killing 35 people and further injuring 43.
Police say the driver was unhappy with a divorce settlement.
