These words of Confucius have long been considered a principal precept
of his teaching. It is recorded in the Analects of Confucius that the Master
says, 'The superior man, extensively studying all learning, and keeping
himself under the restraint of the rules of propriety, may thus likewise not
overstep what is right.' (Legge's version of the Four Books) Adopting this
motto from CUHK, CUHK-Shenzhen is laying equal emphasis on the
intellectual and moral aspects of education.
