What is the significance of academy to the development of education?
The significance of academy to education is as follows:

1. The collection of the college has preserved a great deal of cultural heritage. As academies were high-level educational institutions in ancient times, they all had a certain collection of books. And because many books are accumulated by the founders or directors of the academy, there are many rare books. In addition, due to the different schools or regions supported by the founders or directors of the academy, there will be different characteristics in the collection of books, some pay attention to the collection of local chronicles, and some pay attention to the classics of Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism, each with its own characteristics. Moreover, the academy carved books by itself, on the one hand, it promoted the development of printing, on the other hand, it preserved a large number of precious books, and through reprinting, these precious books were re-circulated in society. The collection of the academy has been enduring for a long time and passed down from generation to generation, and it has finally become a part of the collection of modern libraries and new schools in China, which has contributed greatly.

2. The academy pays attention to the use of books. By borrowing books, the circulation rate of books was greatly improved, which broke the situation that books in the Middle Ages were re-stored and not reused. In this process, I gradually accumulated rich experience in book collection management, which not only integrated the collection management system and methods of feudal society in China, but also pioneered the establishment of a new collection management system in modern libraries in China.

3. The collection of books in the academy promotes the cultivation of talents. The ancient academies in China were all guided by feudal thoughts and propagated the dominant Confucianism, so the feudal orthodox classics, history, books and collections constituted the main body of the academy's collection. However, the college also contains the element of free lectures. Some private or local colleges are keen on learning knowledge freely, and implement free lectures and "lectures" system in their colleges. Teaching methods are mostly enlightening and inducing, encouraging students to study by themselves and read widely, and teachers should give more guidance, give more opinions and solve doubts. Many scholars and students received this kind of education in the academy, which made academic contention more active and promoted the development of education in feudal society.

4. The collection of books in the academy has effectively spread the national science and culture. Historically, the history of Chinese academy books is far less than that of official books and private books, and the scale is not as large as the latter two. But the good news is that it is not shelved, only used by a few powerful people, nor strictly limited, only lent to relatives and friends, but has a much wider range of service objects for all students and scholars to read and study. In this way, on the one hand, it expanded the social function of book collection in China feudal society, on the other hand, it also created some people who devoted themselves to the nation.

5. The collection of books in the academy directly promoted the development of ancient academic research. Ancient academies gathered a large number of scholars, many of whom were famous. They not only give lectures and teach students, but also do academic research and write books. For example, in Song Dynasty, Zhu made great efforts to develop Neo-Confucianism in academy teaching. Scholars in Qing Dynasty, such as Huang Zongxi, Qian Daxin and Duan Yucai, were not only academy leaders, but also textual research scholars. They often make use of the rich collection of books in the Academy to do a lot of academic research, and made contributions to the academic researchers in ancient China.
