Hsiang-chan University Introduction
Hsiuan Chuang University, although the youngest university in the Hsinchu area and named after the Buddhist monk Hsiuan Chuang, does not have a heavy religious atmosphere; instead, it is filled with greenery and vitality. The founder of Hsiuan Chuang University is Elder Liao Chung, who established the Hsiuan Chuang College of Humanities and Social Sciences in 1997 with the philosophy of "promoting the spirit of Hsiuan Chuang through education and cultivating talents for the benefit of society through academia." In 2004, it was elevated to the status of Hsiuan Chuang University. The location on campus that most embodies the Buddhist atmosphere is the School History Museum, which displays historical artifacts related to the founding of the university and houses the most precious "university treasure," the cranial relic of the Tang dynasty monk Hsiuan Chuang, a rare treasure unearthed in Nanjing in 1942.
