The predecessor of Jintai Academy is Hongzhuang, the private residence of Tomb-Sweeping Day General Hong Chengchou. In the thirty-ninth year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1700), Jing Zhao Yin and Qian Jinxi set up voluntary schools in Wanping and Daxing to recruit orphans and children. Wanping Yi Xue chose Changshi Temple, and Daxing Yi Xue lived in Hongzhuang. After Wan Pingyi was merged into Hongzhuang, it was named "Shoushanyi". Since then, this quiet manor has become the seat of Shi Jing Yi-ology with the sound of reading.
At the beginning of the establishment of Shoushan Yixue, only part of the houses in Hongshi Manor were rented. After that, Jing and Shi wanted to buy the vacant land in Hongzhuang and expand Yi Xue into an academy. But at that time, Sun Yixue, the owner of Hongzhuang, Hong Chengchou, was willing to dedicate his land to run Yi Xue. Emperor Kangxi saw the throne and gave it as a reward, and in the forty-first year of Kangxi (1702), he gave a royal book. To this, Jackson Yee had to agree. Therefore, Shoushan Yi Xue built more schools and expanded its scale. In the fifteenth year of Qianlong (1750), it was officially renamed Jintai Academy. Academies were established in the Qing Dynasty, initially in the provincial capital, and later in various states, prefectures and counties. Jintai Academy is located in Beijing, so it is famous all over the country.
Jintai Academy is managed by Shuntianfu yamen. The students are mainly Juren and Gong Sheng from Shi Jing and other provinces who are preparing to take the exam, but students from Shuntianfu can also take part. Most university hosts are celebrities. Roy, a juren in Kangxi period, and Chen Zhaocang, a scholar in Yongzheng period, both served as deans of Jintai Academy. The college has dean, associate professor, upper dormitory and other places, and employs lecturers. In addition to official classes, there are teachers' classes every month. The content of teaching is mainly to write eight-part essay, copy legal posts and sometimes teach some classics. On the first day of the first lunar month, the magistrate of Jingzhao often goes to the examination room to invigilate and gives "paste fire" (that is, the cost of lamps, compared with the cost of lamp oil, refers more to the cost of going to school) as a subsidy for going to school. If the college finds talents, it will recommend them immediately. This unconventional spirit shows that the purpose of cultivating and looking for talents for the Qing Dynasty is very clear.
Jintai Academy was rebuilt in the 22nd year of Qing Daoguang (1842) and again in the 5th year of Guangxu (1875). Great changes have taken place in the college after the reconstruction. There is a fan-shaped tile shadow wall as a barrier in front of the door, and a stone lion lies at the door, which is exquisite and spectacular. The hanging flower gatehouse in the middle of the official hall is all inlaid with wood carvings and painted with oil colors, which looks elegant and solemn. The eastern and western literary fields are not only spacious and bright, but also have cloisters. The additional desks and chairs in the venue provide better learning conditions for dropouts.
In the thirty-first year of Guangxu (1905), the imperial examination system was abolished and school education was advocated, so the academy was closed and changed to Shunzhi school. Later, it was renamed as Shi Jing Public 16th Primary School, Dong Xiao Primary School, Beiping 12th District Central Primary School, Jiuqu Central Primary School, Chongwen District No.1 Central Primary School, etc. 1973, changed to Dong Xiao Primary School in Chongwen District. 1982 and 1986 repaired, rebuilt and expanded the school building twice.
1984 was designated as a municipal key cultural relics protection unit in May.
