Three functions of the college

Teaching, book collection, sacrifice, etc.

1. Teaching: As a place for knowledge inheritance and research, one of the main functions of traditional academies is to provide high-quality educational resources and teachers. In the college, experienced teachers guide students to conduct in-depth research and exploration, cultivate talents and promote academic progress by teaching courses and organizing discussions.

2. Book collection: Another important function is to collect all kinds of books and documents for teachers and students to read and study. His works include classic culture, historical records and professional knowledge in various fields. Through the establishment of a large and well-selected publication inventory, traditional academies have become a treasure house of knowledge, enabling teachers and students to extensively set foot in different fields and study specific topics.

3. Sacrifice: In some traditional societies, small private or public institutions with strong clan or local nature have sacrifice activities. Rites are used to commemorate the sages and express respect, and to some extent, they have become the characteristic function of the academy. Sacrificial activities can enhance the cohesion and sense of belonging between teachers and students and inherit history and culture.
