Shigu Academy in Hengyang, known for its 'Three Wonders', is also a place where the spirit of Hunan and Hubei thrives

Shigu Academy is an important birthplace of Hunan and Hubei culture and a landmark of Hengyang culture. As the fourth stop in the historical and cultural exploration of Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, and Guangdong provinces, we came to Shigu Academy in Shigu District, Hengyang, the second largest city in Hunan. Here, the lush forests and bamboo, the confluence of two rivers, and the fresh air; the pavilions and buildings, the levels are staggered, and the repairs are new; the Yanyan Tower can be vaguely distinguished, standing on the shore, there is really a 'far view of the tower has color, listen quietly The artistic conception of the cold pine wind makes people linger. The academy was originally built by Han Yu and gradually formed through expansion and repair over the generations. Among them, Su Dongpo, Wang Yangming and others came here to lecture, leaving many good words. Although the academy has experienced vicissitudes of life, it remains unchanged in wind and rain, leaving behind the inheritance of the spirit of Hunan and Hubei culture. The academy has 'Three Wonders' that are difficult for the world to understand: books that cannot be turned, characters that cannot be recognized, and drums that cannot be sounded. Its connotation is rich, adding interest to the history of the academy, and leaving us with deep memories and good times.
