During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty (1506–1521), Wang Yangming, the magistrate of Luling County, believed in "mind learning" and chose to teach and preach in Qingyuan Mountain, making it an important birthplace of Neo-Confucianism. During the Jiajing period (1522–1566), the Qingyuan Guild Hall was built next to Jingju Temple. In the 19th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1839), Lu Chunru, the prefect of Ji'an, established Yangming Academy on the north side of Daiyue Bridge in Qingyuan Mountain, specifically for the study of Wang Yangming's theories. For this reason, it is known as the "land of Neo-Confucianism." In the long river of history, Yangming Academy has also witnessed many important moments. In 1930, the Third Branch of the Red Army and the Red Army Rear Hospital were established here. From 1939 to 1948, Ji'an Provincial High School and the 13th National High School were also relocated to Yangming Academy. Walking into Yangming Academy is like traveling through time and space, where you can feel the strong academic atmosphere and cultural heritage of the past. The ancient buildings, precious cultural relics, and rich historical materials all tell the stories of the past. Jingju Temple Continue walking from Yangming Academy to Jingju Temple. This temple is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with ancient trees towering around it. When the morning bell and evening drum sound, and the incense smoke rises, you will feel like you are in a dreamlike world. Since the Seventh Patriarch Xingsi practiced in Anyin Mountain and created the "sudden enlightenment" method, this place has become an important center of Buddhism. From Jingju Temple, follow the Qingyuan River upstream. The clear water of Diaoyutai Reservoir is rippling, and boats shuttle back and forth. The surrounding green mountains and clear waters, and the pavilions and towers are scattered, making it a paradise on earth. Now, Qingyuan Mountain Amusement Park has been built here, bringing more joy to tourists. Continue walking, and you can also enjoy attractions such as Muyu Pile, Immortal Writing, Monkey Watching the Moon, Guanyin Sitting on a Lotus, and the beautiful scenery of Youluoping Reservoir. If you don't plan to play in the water, you can skip Jiudie Spring and return directly from Jingju Temple. However, it should be noted that the waterfall scenery of Jiudie Spring is very spectacular. If you have enough time, it is worth a visit. ❤️Tips The choice of sightseeing bus depends on personal needs. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the entrance of the scenic area to Yangming Academy, and only a few minutes to walk from Yangming Academy to Jingju Temple. The scenery of Qingyuan Mountain is breathtaking. Whether it is the undulating mountains, lush vegetation, or clear streams, it is intoxicating. It is very suitable for weekend trips, allowing you to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, embrace nature, relax, and enjoy a moment of peace and beauty amidst your busy work.
