Landscape of Nanjing Senior High School in Jiangsu Province

Zheng Xue Pavilion stands proudly in Jingyuan Square. The word "Zheng Xue" is taken from the couplet in "Talking about Persuasion" by Mr. Wang Xianqian of Zheng Xue, Jiangsu Province, which reads "Students should correct their knowledge and do practical things in a down-to-earth manner". Wang Xianqian was the dean of Jiuji and Yuelu Academy in imperial academy. While studying politics in Jiangsu, he founded Nanjing Bookstore and set up Shatian Industry for Nanjing Academy in hengsha island, commonly known as "Nanjing Shatian". On both sides of the pavilion, Chen Lifu inscribed the words "Loyalty, Forgiveness and Diligence", which has been a motto in Nanjing for a hundred years. Loyalty and forgiveness are the way to treat others, and frugality is the foundation of fame and family.

The inscription "Learn from Nanjing", a bronze ornament in the museum, briefly describes the vicissitudes of Nanjing since its founding. In the pavilion, the couplet "How to forget the boss, how to read with relish and be relaxed" was inscribed by Zuo, the leader of the Westernization School and Xiang Army in the late Qing Dynasty, Huang Fang 1882. The original meaning of the first part of the couplet "deduction" is spinning, which is extended to seeking truth and also refers to statement. "The Book of Rites Reflects Righteousness": "Those who interpret it, each interpret its will." Kong Shu: "Yi, Chen Ye, speak your mind." "Oh", sigh and regret. The word "boss" is an ancient poem "Long Songs" written by Han Yuefu. "Young people don't work hard, but the elderly are sad." Zuo Zeng pointed out in his letter (the 30th day of the first month of the tenth year of Xianfeng and Xiaozong): "To study and be a man, you must first make up your mind ... If you are ill, you will be very ill. ..... If you are single-minded, what career can't be done? " Shanglian is to encourage college students to be determined to make progress, constantly explore things and apply what they have learned, so as not to lament because they have wasted their lives and achieved nothing. The second couplet "Reading has a taste" comes from the poem "Sleepless Man" written by Lu You in the Southern Song Dynasty: "Reading has a taste of forgetting the past and serving the country with tears." "Easy" means not in a hurry. Lu Jiuyuan once quoted a scholar as saying: "Reading is in a hurry and swimming is interesting." I don't know if I can put it down and I need to think urgently "(quotations from Song and Lu Jiuyuan). Zhu, a philosopher and educator in the Southern Song Dynasty, also pointed out: "The method of reading: orderly and regular; Make unremitting efforts; Take your time between reading sentences and meaning; And experience the truth of practice. "(Answer to Teacher Chen's Moral Book). The author has his own unique experience in this respect. In his letter "With Xiao Wei" on the second day of the first month of the eleventh year of Xianfeng, he said: "Reading should be gradual, reading carefully and thinking deeply, and you should swim around to enrich your interest, not just do sloppy things, so your heart is here, so you are here. "The second couplet is the author's personal experience in introducing the" taste "of reading when he was in his seventies.

This shows that the purpose of running a school was clear. The original carved couplet has been destroyed, which was written by contemporary calligrapher Zhang Xiliang. In the pavilion, you can cultivate your self-cultivation, cultivate your interest, be "pure in heart" and "far-reaching", be bookish and be humanistic. "Lan Shu" is the word of Huang Fangfang, the founder of Nanjing Academy. The name of the pool was inscribed by Ms. Xing Xiuhua, an alumnus and famous calligrapher of our school. On the north and south sides of the pond are the Academy Monument Gallery with 18 antique inscriptions. Among them, there are 9 inscriptions on the south side, which record the history of the establishment of the academy; Nine images in the north

The monument reproduces the images of seven sages related to Nanjing Academy, and also includes two maps, namely, the Town Division of the Yangtze River Navy and Jiangyin Town God, both of which are from Jiangyin County Records. Wandering in the stele gallery, the light and shadow of Nanjing history are dancing everywhere. The Three Arch School Gate was built after the Arrow Torch School Gate of Nanjing School in the Republic of China, with a total width of15.8m and a height of10.3m.. The whole body is blue brick, decorated with peony pattern, showing elegance. The shape of the arrow torch means that the light is high. Nanjing has been a land of "three talents" since ancient times, with a large number of talents. Copying and transplanting the ancient school gate itself represents the good wishes of Nanjing people to remember history, inherit culture, carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and become stronger and better.
