It is also one of the cradles of the origin of the academy.
During the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the number of academies in Jiangxi was the highest in China, among which Bailudong Academy was the most famous.
Is there really a white deer in Bailudong?
The reason why it is called Bailudong is related to a man named Li Bo in the Tang Dynasty.
During the Zhenyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, this was the place where Li Bo and his brother Li Fang lived in seclusion and studied.
Rip also keeps a white deer beside him, named Mr. White Deer.
It is said that this white deer is very aura, often goes out to play with Li Bo, and can also help the host deliver letters and articles. It's a "courier deer". Yes!
Moreover, Bailudong Academy didn't have a hole at first, but this place is surrounded by mountains and looks like a hole when it looks down, hence its name.
It was not until the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty that the academy built caves and deer according to its name.
However, today's Bailudong Academy really has a group of white deer behind it.
"The first academy in the world"?
(Qing) Xiong once said in "Chonglu Dongji":
"The masterpieces of the Fourth Academy are all over the world, and Bailudong is the most."
In fact, as early as the Southern Song Dynasty, Bailudong Academy was known as "the first academy in China".
What kind of academy was the top institution in China at that time?
First of all, Bailudong Academy is the only traditional school in China established by the government outside Beijing in the history of China.
In the first year of Southern Tang Dynasty (940), Li, the founding emperor, "founded a school and established a field" here, which was named "Lushan Mountain".
Later, it developed into one of the four academies in the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, due to the war, Bailudong Academy was in ruins during the reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Without the painstaking efforts of later people, Bailudong may have disappeared in the long river of history.
Yes, it's him again, Zhu!
As an academic-loving Daniel, Zhu has left traces in the history of many famous academies, and Bailudong is more like his "own son" to Zhu.
After learning the news of Nankang Army (now Lushan City), Zhu pushed through the crowd. It only took about a year to rebuild Bailudong Academy.
At the same time, he knew the importance of famous teachers to the academy, and hired Lu Jiuyuan, a famous philosopher at that time, to give lectures at Bailudong Academy, which resulted in a famous lecture-Goose Lake Club.
Demystifying Bailudong Academy
The most important and far-reaching is the Revealing of Bailudong Academy, also known as Bailudong Academy Classic, which was formulated by Zhu himself.
This is the first programmatic discipline in the history of Chinese academy development, which has gradually put academy education on the track of institutionalized development.
Later, Xuegui spread to Japan, North Korea and Southeast Asia, which was a model of culture going out.
Talent cultivation ability
Bailudong Academy, as an educational institution, has a strong ability to build scholars.
According to statistics, from the Southern Tang Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, Bailudong Academy trained three top scholars, hundreds of scholars and countless talents.
A number of outstanding talents such as Wu Qiao, Yu Jie, Song, Dai Quheng have emerged.
Zhu wrote a couplet for Bailudong Academy:
"A hundred years of tree people, read thousands of books."
Between the lines are full of exhortations to later generations of literati, and this pair of couplets also witnessed the historical changes of the Millennium Academy.
