Jiashan Mountain is lush with talent, and the academic atmosphere is intensely passionate—Shaoxing Jiashan Academy

After the first period, the scenery is radiant with clear yang, and the gentle breeze is harmonious and inclusive. Climbing up the western slope of Jiashan Mountain in Shaoxing city area, the first thing that catches the eye is the four big characters 'Origin of Zhejiang Learning'. Jiashan Academy is simple and elegant, serene and tranquil, nestled among layers of greenery, with the words 'Sincerity' and 'Caution in Solitude' engraved on the academy's gate wall. The history of Jiashan Academy can be traced back to the Qiandao period of the Southern Song Dynasty, when Han Qi, the sixth-generation descendant of the famous minister Han Qi, retired here to run a school. It was Liu Zongzhou, a famous scholar of the Ming Dynasty, who truly broadened the cultural context of Jiashan Academy. He lectured at Jiashan, establishing the 'Jiashan School of Thought'. In the Qing Dynasty, the founder of historical studies Huang Zongxi, the painting master Chen Hongshou, the thinker Chen Que, the literary figure Zhang Lüxiang and others followed in their footsteps, adding luster to the cultural development of Jiashan. In the 27th year of the Guangxu reign, Jiashan Academy was once converted into Shanyin County School. During this period, Xu Xilin taught here, and Fan Wenlan, Chen Jiangong, Xu Qinwen and others studied here. The long history and grand scenery, the profound culture and uniqueness. The poetry of Jiashan has been continuous for a thousand years, and the 'Jiashan School of Thought' has been passed down from generation to generation here.
