First, the sources of education funds in colleges and universities are diversified.
The funds of the academy are funded by the government and raised by the people, mainly by the academic field. Take Bailudong Academy as an example. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the government increased the study field three times. The first time was in the seventh year of Xichun (1 180), 870 mu of farmland was set up;
The second time was the tenth year of Xichun (1 183), and 700 mu was purchased; For the third time, in the fourteenth year of Jiading (122 1), a school field of 300 mu was established. The college has a total of 1870 mu of research site. Yuelu College has been in Shaoxi for five years (1 194), and the government allocated 50 hectares of study fields at one time, and college students were given one liter of rice four times a day in 60 yuan.
Second, the academy implements the responsibility system of mountain leaders, and the management system is becoming more and more complete.
The highest leader of the Academy in Song Dynasty was called Mountain Master, Cave Master or Cave Master. The mountain leader is both the master teacher and the top manager, and is often served by famous scholars. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were few teaching management assistants except Shan Chang. Southern Song Academy, with the increasing scale of running a school, there are more and more internal facilities in the academy, and the establishment of teaching management personnel in the academy has also increased accordingly.
Third, the college implements open teaching and research.
Scholars who are not restricted by regions and schools can come to listen and consult. For example, Zhu's students gave a lecture on the Book of Changes at Bailudong Academy, and people from all over the country came to attend the lecture. Bailudong Academy later allocated special funds to receive people who came from all directions to study, and someone was responsible for the reception.

History of Academy in Song Dynasty:
In the early years of Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of private academies gave lectures. There are many academies such as Suiyang (Yingtianfu), Yuelu, Bailudong, Songyang, Shigu, Maoshan and Xiangshan. Among them, Suiyang (Yingtianfu), Yuelu, Bailudong and Songyang Academy are also called the four ancient Chinese academies. By the end of Injong, all the more influential academies had disappeared in the early Northern Song Dynasty. In the fourth year of Xining (107 1), the imperial court directly sent professors to state schools, weakening the academies and county schools. In seven years, state middle schools with professors were merged into state schools.
