Tips

history
Founded 1906 in Nanjing for overseas Chinese students, relocated to Guangzhou after 1949. The name comes from 《尚书》 '西流沙四海' — roughly 'reaching south' — signaling its mission to spread Chinese education overseas.
mistakes
Don't confuse with 济南大学 (Jǐnán Dàxué, in Shandong's Jinan city). Same pinyin 'Jinan' in romanization, different characters and tones: = Jì-nán, 济南 = Jǐ-nán.
