Hsian Chuan University Introduction
Hsiuan Chuang University, although the youngest university in the Hsinchu area, is named after the eminent monk Xuanzang. Despite its name, the campus is devoid of a heavy religious atmosphere and is filled with greenery and vitality. The founder of Hsiuan Chuang University, Elder Liao Zhong, established the Hsiuan Chuang College of Humanities and Social Sciences in 1997 (the 86th year of the Republic of China) with the aim of promoting the spirit of Xuanzang through education and cultivating talented individuals through academic pursuits. In 2004 (the 93rd year of the Republic of China), it was elevated to a university. The location on campus that exudes the most Buddhist ambiance is the History Museum, which displays historical artifacts related to the establishment of the university and houses the most precious "treasure of the school," the relic of the top bone of Tang Dynasty Xuanzang, a precious artifact unearthed in Nanjing in 1942.
