In Hong Kong, the only university that aims at liberal arts education is Lingnan University. Former headmaster Chen Kunyao once explained that the purpose of liberal arts education is to teach people "extensive knowledge and elegant life". In 2008, Hong Kong Education and Manpower Bureau introduced liberal arts education into senior high school curriculum.
In modern society, liberal arts education is regarded as a kind of all-round quality education based on people in society. It is different from professional education and specialized education. In the East, the tradition of this kind of education can be traced back to the six arts education in the pre-Qin period and the usual Confucian education after the Han Dynasty. Six arts education focuses on comprehensive knowledge and skills, while Confucian education focuses on personality and humanistic quality.
