About 10 km south of Wulao Peak in Lushan Mountain, among the green trees in the top mountains, there is a group of pavilions-style ancient buildings, which is the famous Bailudong Academy in history.
Bailudong Academy, Yuelu Academy in Changsha, Hunan, Yingtian Academy in Shangqiu, Henan, and Songyang Academy in Dengfeng, Henan are collectively called the "Four Great Academies in the World". Bailudong Academy was founded in the first year of Southern Tang Dynasty (AD 940) and is the first complete academy in China. Lushan Sinology (also known as Bailudong Sinology) was established in the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is the only sinology established by the central government outside the capital in the history of China.
Humanistic Education in Bailudong Academy and Its Enlightenment
Bailudong Academy takes the humanistic education with moral education as the core as the soul of its activities, and practices the humanistic values of "people-oriented" and "being sage inside and being king outside", which distinguishes it from the official school oriented by the imperial examination. Through the rules and regulations, teaching activities and the construction of the academy environment, the friendship of respecting teachers and loving students, the atmosphere of asking difficult questions and discussing learning, noble personality and the spirit of being born and entering the WTO are formed in the academy.
After the founding of New China, Bailudong Academy has been well protected and utilized, and governments at all levels have allocated huge sums of money to carry out three major repairs, and it has prospered again. 1959 is listed as a provincial cultural relics protection unit, and 1988 is listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
