What are the famous academies in ancient China? What are the requirements for entering the Academy of Fine Arts? When is graduation considered?

The name of the academy began in the Tang Dynasty, and it is divided into two categories: official and private.

Tang Academy: Zhang Jiuzong Academy, Li Academy and Jixian Temple Academy.

Academy in Song Dynasty: Bailudong Academy, Yuelu Academy, Suiyang Academy, Songyang Academy, Shigu Academy, Maoshan Academy and Xiangshan Academy.

Academy in Yuan Dynasty: Dadu Academy

Ming Academy: Xu Jie Academy, Chen Xianzhang Academy, Wang Shouren Academy, Kyoto Academy, Suzhou Academy and Chongzhen Academy.

Academies in Qing Dynasty: Beiping Academy, Tianjin Academy, Nanjing Academy, Jingzhou Academy, Fuzhou Academy and Guangzhou Academy.

There are no strict requirements for entering the college. Most colleges raise funds to build their own schools. Teaching takes the form of self-study, which combines lectures and teacher's guidance. Its characteristic is to educate and cultivate people's knowledge and virtue, not to gain fame for exams.

Mr. Wang thinks that students are qualified to take the imperial examination, even if they graduate.
