What is the Shuyuan culture?

Shuyuan is an important form of traditional Chinese education, which was formally established in the Northern Song Dynasty. The most distinctive feature of the academy is that it is run by private scholars and is not recognized or funded by the government.

The Song Dynasty was the peak of the development of the academy, and there are four famous academies: the White Deer Cave Academy in Mount Lushan, Jiangxi Province; the Yuelu Academy in Shanhua, Hunan Province; the Songyang Academy in Dengfeng, Henan Province; and the Yingtian Academy in Shangqiu, Henan Province.

In recent years, some research institutions, academic organizations and individual scholars have also begun to explore the restoration of traditional Chinese education in the "Academy culture".

"Traditional Chinese education has a distinct cultural and national character. In order to study and disseminate the classic culture as its own responsibility, teaching people to cultivate themselves, the family, the country, the way to calm the world, the world and the policy, fully embodies the Chinese culture of unceasing growth, perseverance and honesty, broad, thick and far-reaching, love and the spirit of the Tonghe. For today's youth to inherit the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, comprehend the traditional classic culture has a certain role."
