Introduction to the scenic spots of Jiangsu Academic Affairs Office:
1. "Tiankai Cultural Movement" Archway< /p>
Standing here, we can clearly see the entire layout of the school department. It takes the academic, political, cultural and tourist area as the central axis and extends backward to the ecological recreation area of ??Zhongshan Park, the back garden of the academic department. To the east of the central axis is the recreational activity area. In front of us is the "Tiankai Wenyun" archway, the head gate of the ruins area. The Jiangsu Academic Affairs Office built the Academic Affairs Office in front of Zhongshan Park (then known as "Qingji Park") in the 42nd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1614). Please take a look at this abstract rough stone archway. On the horizontal plaque are the four characters "Heaven Kaiwen Yun" written in the Northern Wei Dynasty style of the great calligrapher and politician Kang Youwei, which means "Heaven sends great responsibilities, and the literary movement flourishes." The horizontal couplets on the left and right: "The article is full of spirit and majesty running through the north and south of the Yangtze River, and the wind and rain remain calm and the thousands of buildings are blooming with joy." This was written by Lin Tianling, the teacher of Emperor Guangxu, when he was an academician in Jiangyin. It is now written by our Jiangyin native Chinese calligrapher Written by Mr. Shen Peng (official script on Han bamboo slips), Chairman of the Association. Lin Tianling, a native of Changle, Fujian, served as an academic administrator in Jiangyin in the 13th year of Tongzhi (1874). This is the couplet he hung on the pillar in the lobby of the government office. It means that you must have a broad mind and noble sentiments to write articles that span the north and south of the Yangtze River. After becoming an official, you should not let your interests affect your integrity. You must be considerate of the people's difficulties and do more practical things and good things for the people; the second line is Borrowing from Du Fu's words, "There are tens of thousands of Guangsha, and the poor people all over the world will be happy." On the four stone pillars on both sides are written "Articles are commanding, Fengjiao is in charge." These eight characters were originally in the Yamen Square. On the East and West Gates, civil and military officials down to the common people were not allowed to enter in sedan chairs or horses. They had to go around the outside of the screen wall. In addition, there were two tall flagpoles erected in the square. The big flags read "The Imperial Order of the Jiangsu Supervisory School". The words "House". Today, these eight characters are vigorous and powerful, still showing the solemnity and solemn momentum of the Academic Affairs Office in those days. The protection of historical heritage does not mean retrospection, but history as a spiritual heritage in a new form
2. Yimen
The old layout of the thirteen entrances of the academy was based on the nine-star method of crossing the palace in Feng Shui theory, facing south. The academic office follows the original layout. Among the thirteen ancient buildings of the academic administration office, the carved beams and painted buildings of Yimen are the only remaining ancient buildings.
3. The academic administration office lobby
The lobby is the first entrance behind the Yimen in the thirteen-entry pattern. It is connected to Wanshou Mountain in the north, Xuelang Lake in the west, and Guangfu Temple. , the lobby, together with the examination booths on the east and west sides, can accommodate 1,498 candidates at a time. The renovated and expanded lobby adopts the architectural form of steel structure and glass screen walls. The integration of modern technology such as steel and glass is a major innovation in the academic, political and cultural area. The gardening concept of "explaining the past without restoring ancient times" has given new life to the Xuezheng Cultural District. Here are the brief introductions of 124 Xuezhengs, which lasted for 292 years. Important officials in charge of affairs, including the familiar prime ministers Liu Luoguo and Liu Yong, Huang Tifang, the founder of Nanjing Academy, etc. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Jiangsu academic administration was usually appointed by the imperial court to appoint officials with a background of Hanlin for three years. In three years, the position of the academic administrator in the eight prefectures and three states in the province was equivalent to that of the director of the provincial education department, but its authority was much greater than that of the education director. At that time, the academic administrator was at the same level as the governor. , and were not subject to the control of the governor, memorials of academic affairs were presented directly to the emperor. This was the layout of the Jiangsu academic administrative office in the Qing Dynasty. According to the then academic administrative office, it should be established in the provincial capital, but Jiangsu was located in Jiangyin. According to historical records, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there were only three government offices in the country: Taiping Prefecture in Anhui, Sanyuan County in Shaanxi, and Jiangyin Xuezheng Office in Jiangsu. Candidates, it can be seen that the academic administration had an extremely important position at that time. Most of the academic administration offices in general provinces were located in provincial capitals, but why did Jiangsu Province place academic administration in Jiangyin, which was just a small county? .Why put the academic administration in Jiangyin? Why is Jiangyin the location of the academic administration office when it is just a small county? This is mainly because Jiangyin is located between Nanjing and Shanghai. It is the central location of Jiangsu Quartet. It is also located at the narrowest point of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, making it easy to cross the river. At the same time, Jiangyin has developed transportation and prosperous economy. Historically, it was famous for its commercial port and textile industry. As early as the Song Dynasty, Jiangyin was an important commercial port and one of the 11 shipping companies in the country.
Jiangyin is located in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Boats and boats are far more important than carriages and horses. As early as the Song Dynasty's "Taiping Huanyu Ji", it was called "the land of three Wu lapels and the meeting of hundreds of boats and carriages". Moreover, at that time, Jiangyin was prosperous in humanities, one of the birthplaces of Wu culture, and the hometown of Taibo Jizi's education. It is not surprising that Jiangyin became the first choice for studying politics.
