Is there a school of gourmet cooking for chinese food?

The cordon bleu school in France is a famous school that teaches how to make gourmet French food. Is there a similar school in China (or elsewhere) for Chinese food?

There are actually TONS of cooking schools in China, but to know how to cook real Chinese food, you must learn from the people. I spent 6 months in China after culinary school in America wandering around from town to town and asking people how they cooked things and you'd be amazed how much you can learn. The best cooking isn't learned from a school, it's learned from the people.

Keep in mind that there are many different regional cuisines and types of cooking in China.
