Liling Lujang Bridge and Lujang Academy

Liling is a stopover I passed by on my way to Xiangxi, a leisurely and slow small city. The nightfall Lujang Bridge and the people coming and going on the top scholar island, the Lujang Bridge, a building from the Republic of China period, has become a scenery. People in Liling can take a walk and enjoy the cool on the bridge, or admire it from a distance in the park by the Lujang River. Liling's Lujang Academy started in the Song Dynasty, and its cultural vein has been continuous to this day, producing many famous people. Among those who have lectured here are Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming of the Song Dynasty, Zuo Zongtang of the Qing Dynasty who served as the head of the mountain for two years, and Li Lisan and Zuo Quan of the modern times were students of the academy, adding strong evidence to the saying 'Only Chu has talent, and it is the most prosperous.'
