Guiyan Academy is an academy in Tang Dynasty, which was founded in Zhenyuan period of Tang Dynasty (AD 793) and Yi Yuanhe nine years (AD 8 14). It was founded by imperial academy, an educator in Tang Dynasty who toasted Nan Rong. It was opened and taught after the funeral. It is the first private academy with educational function in Jiangxi history and the earliest family in China history. It has trained a large number of imperial examination talents for families and localities, opened the tradition that one side worships learning and emphasizes teaching, and occupies an important page in the opening chapter of the history of Chinese academies.
The original site of Guiyan Academy is located in Guiyan, 60 miles north of Gao 'an, Jiangxi Province. The building scale of the academy is magnificent, with "300 plants planted around Guiyan" and "Zhongzhi Academy, flanked by four houses". It has a racetrack for martial arts, a rest pavilion for martial arts and a purple pavilion for rest, covering an area of over 65,438+000 mu. Because there are many osmanthus trees and shale, it is named "Guiyan Academy". Now it is located in Linhongcheng, Gao 'an, Jiangxi.
Xing Nanrong (746-819), the founder of the Academy, also known as Xing Xian, was born in Hongcheng Village, Hualin Township, Gao 'an City. Official, Taichang Siqing, imperial academy, once served as a guest of honor for the Prince. He was an influential educator in the Tang Dynasty in the history of China. After his death, he was named the founding son of Bohai County.
When he was in charge of Guiyan Academy, scholars from far and near flocked to Hongcheng, and the Xing family was driven away by horses and chariots, creating a new trend of family education for generations. Guiyan Academy has been abandoned several times in history, but the descendants of Xing have always attached importance to poetry books. Scholars come forth in large numbers and talented people come forth in large numbers. According to the History of the Imperial Clan of Xing, only Xing's students attended this academy, and there were more than 50 scholars, and Emperor Qianlong, a veteran of the Three Dynasties in the Qing Dynasty, also came from this academy.
History:
In 7 12 AD, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and his aunt Princess Taiping staged a coup to drive away the young emperor Li Zhongmao and kill Queen Webster, who was in power. After inheriting her father Li Dan's throne, she didn't want another coup in 7 13. Li Longji, who experienced the storm, beat her to death and punished her party. The Tang dynasty thus entered the heyday of Kaiyuan to Tianbao for more than 40 years.
Due to political stability, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty established the official Li Zheng Academy and Jixian Academy in Chang 'an, published school journals and collected classics. This has stimulated China's literati and poets, thus making the world's style of writing and study more prosperous. From the "New Yuefu Movement" initiated by the realistic poet Bai Juyi and the "Ancient prose Movement" initiated by Liu Han at that time, we can get a glimpse of the unprecedented prosperity of Tang culture from Zhenyuan period in Tang Dezong (785-804 AD) to Yuanhe period in Tang Xianzong (806-820 AD).
During the "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng" period, Jiangxi, known as the "hometown of humanities", had one of the earliest academies in the history of China. From the late years of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, eunuch Gao Lishi came to power. On the one hand, he alienated the relationship between Xuanzong and books and literati with the perfume of beautiful women, so as to prevent the old emperor from worrying about state affairs after reading books and making eunuchs lose power.
Later, people were so stupid that they gave up our time and gambled as much as 500,000 yuan on Tang Xizong's succession. He is convinced of the report of local officials. "These locusts don't eat royal crops, but they scare themselves out with thorns." In this context, Huang Chao led the peasant army to defeat Tang Jun and built "Daqi" in Chang 'an. At this time, Zhu Wen, an Anhui native from a peasant background, was already a hero of Daqi. After Zhu Wen's repeated decline and destruction of the Tang Dynasty, China entered a turbulent situation in the Five Dynasties and Ten Countries.
At this time, due to the constant war, imperial academy in the DPRK did nothing all day, and the official school was almost deserted. However, the atmosphere of Jiangxi people running private schools still exists, although there are ups and downs. Until the iron horse was singing, endless bonfires burned the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Academies in Jiangxi are like a rock under the historical waves of China. Sometimes they break the waves and stir up thousands of snows, and sometimes they disappear in the vast ocean, silently.
Conclusion Staring at history, the dead are like this. Jiangxi is known as the "hometown of culture". In that era of war and smoke, the atmosphere of running a school in Jiangxi still exists despite vicissitudes. Guiyan Academy has such a history.
