In the 16th year of Guangxu (1890), Zhang Zhidong founded Lianghu Academy in the former site of Jingxin Academy in Dusihu. There are 240 students in the college, Hunan 100, Hubei 65438, and 40 students in specific business. Four courses, Confucian classics, history, Neo-Confucianism and literature, are offered to train talents who are "famous officials and famous Confucianism". 1896, Zhang reformed the two lakes academy, imitating the western academy, giving lectures every day and checking the students' learning situation every day. The course is changed to four courses: Confucian classics, history and geography, and current affairs, and a dean is set up to explain the economy. Zhang Zhidong also pays more attention to the management of students' study and the control of their thoughts. 1902 the two lakes academy was changed to the two lakes college, which was divided into eight subjects and became a comprehensive college including literature, science and law. The number of students decreased from 240 to 120. At the beginning, it was promoted to Gaotang by outstanding students from Hubei, Hunan, Jingxin and Jianghan academies. Applicants must first make up the general course for one year, study in a junior college for three years, then study abroad for one year and graduate in five years. The two lakes academy evolved from a traditional academy to a new academy, and finally became a new school with the increase of western courses. 1898, when Zhang Zhidong changed the two academies into schools, he proposed that "the two academies should be divided, with Chinese (learning) as the body and western learning as the application, which not only avoided the mockery of shoddy work, but also avoided the drawbacks of deviance". But what students are really interested in is the course of "Western Learning". As a result, some students finally "deviant" and engaged in revolutionary activities.
