The Chinese University of Hong Kong or 香港中文大學 (Cantonese IPA: , Jyutping: hoeng1 gong2 jung1 man4 dai6 hok6, Mandarin Pinyin: Xiānggǎng Zhōngwén Dàxué), commonly referred to as CU or 中大 ("Chung Tai", Cantonese IPA: tsʊŋ55 taːi33, Jyutping: jung1 dai6), is the second oldest of the eight universities in Hong Kong; it is also the only collegiate university in Hong Kong. The CU has the largest university campus in Hong Kong, located in Ma Liu Shui, Sha Tin, occupying a total area of 1.344 square kilometers. It's branch centre, which houses the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, is located in Admiralty, Hong Kong Island.
The motto of the university is "博文約禮", or "to broaden one's intellectual horizon and keep within the bounds of propriety". These are words of ancient wisdom from the Analects of Confucius. In Confucian tradition, a person of noble character and integrity should not disregard etiquette and morality while engaging in intellectual pursuit.
On the school emblem is the mythical bird, Fenghuang or commonly referred to as Chinese Phoenix, embodying the qualities of nobleness, beauty, loyalty, and dignity.
Despite its misleading name, the Chinese University does not conduct its classes solely in Chinese. Both Chinese (Putonghua and Cantonese) and English are official languages of instruction.
