In the second year of Song Jingzuo (1035), when Taishi College was rebuilt, it was named Songyang College, with a dean in charge of college affairs. Songyang Academy is one of the cradles of Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty. Its architectural style is a "specimen" to study the architecture, education system and Confucian culture of ancient academies in China.

College history:

1998 said at the beginning that when the State Post Bureau was preparing to issue stamps of "Four Courtyards", it had already made a field visit to Shigu Academy in advance. However, because it only saw the rocks and didn't see the academy, it was re-elected to Songyang Academy in Dengfeng, Henan.

On April 29th, 1998, the State Post Bureau held the launching ceremony of the "Fourth Hospital" in Suiyang District of Shangqiu City. The selected academies include Yingtian Academy, Yuelu Academy, Bailudong Academy and Songyang Academy.
