Brief introduction of Tieling Pavilion

Since its establishment, the museum has received nearly one million visitors from home and abroad. Party and state leaders Hu Yaobang, Yang Shangkun, Li Peng, Li Keqiang and others have visited and guided the work here.

Historical evolution

Yingang Academy was built by Hao Yu, the censor of huguangdao in the 15th year of Shunzhi (1658) of Qing Dynasty. It was called "Hall of learning and learning". In the 14th year of Kangxi (1675), Hao Yufu returned to the court and donated the residence to establish "Yingang academy", which became the place of "Changming Neo Confucianism, enlightening the later sages" in northern Liaoning. In the summer of 1712, Tieling county magistrate Jiao Xianyou and gentry donated money to repair Yingang academy, which was completed in 1713.

Built in 1658 (the 15th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty), the memorial hall is a part of the central and Western academies of the former Academy. The central courtyard is a quadrangle structure, with two floors of courtyard. The front courtyard consists of three gatehouses, three main rooms and three East-West wing rooms. The rooms are connected by four moonlit doors. In the spring of 1910, Zhou Enlai, 12 years old, came to Tieling with his three cousins and studied in the primary school of Yingang Academy for half a year. The East Room of the front yard is Zhou Enlai's reading room for teenagers, and the west yard has six classrooms, which are Zhou Enlai's reading rooms.

In 1766, the Tieling local government allocated 1000 mu of land to the Yingang academy and collected 52 yuan of silver. In 1794, the Yingang Academy was repaired again. In 1878, Tieling gentry left League a tried to reorganize Yingang academy, and bought the college's address adjacent to Wang's surname in the east to build students' dormitory. In 1890, the school was built in the east of the college, with five rooms in the north and five in the south. In 1903, Yingang school, the first new school in northern Liaoning, was established in the Academy. It is one of the earliest schools to introduce new education in Northeast China, where all kinds of modern thoughts are widely spread. Guangxu 32 years (1906) in Yingang college set up the Institute of persuasion. Guangxu 33 years (1907) in the west of the academy to buy land to build houses, continued to recruit students in two classes. In the spring of 1910, Zhou Enlai, 12 years old, followed Zhou Yiqian, uncle of Santang, to Shanghai by ship from Pukou along the Yangtze River. From Shanghai, he traveled by sea through Shandong and Tianjin to Niuzhuang in Northeast China. Then he sailed from Niuzhuang to mapenggou ancient ferry in Tieling and landed at Tieling. He lived in Zhou Yiqian's home and studied in class a of Yingang school in Tieling.

Tieling is the place where Zhou Enlai first received the Enlightenment of western education and the influence of revolutionary thought. The discipline of "Zhi Zhi Ge Wu" edified Zhou Enlai's elegant demeanor. The positive and progressive school education broadened Zhou Enlai's vision, induced his patriotic ambition, germinated his seed of "studying for the rise of China", and laid a good foundation for later joining in the anti imperialist and anti feudal revolutionary movement. As Zhou Enlai said in a conversation with American journalist Lieberman in September 1946, "when I was 12 years old, I left home to go to the northeast, which was the key to my life and ideological change I left home for Tieling because my father and uncle worked there. I entered a primary school in Tieling, and went to Shenyang six months later to study for two years. From feudal education to western education, from feudal family to school environment, I began to read revolutionary books, which is the key to my transformation. " The study and life of Tieling is a key step of Zhou Enlai's life journey. As Zhou Enlai's nephew Zhou Bingjun said, "Yingang academy is the starting point of Zhou Enlai's life and revolution.". On June 15, 1962, when Zhou Enlai and his wife Deng Yingchao visited the northeast, they once again came to Tieling, which had been away for 52 years. They affectionately called Tieling his second hometown!

In 1924, Yingang school was changed into the first primary school in Tieling county. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, the former site of Yingang college has always been a school running place and educational institution. Because of the great contribution of Yingang academy to the history of the nation. In 1978, the Tieling prefectural committee of the Communist Party of China renovated the former site of Yingang academy and opened it as "the memorial hall of the former site of Comrade Zhou Enlai's youth study in Tieling City" in July 1979. In June 2002, with the approval of the municipal editorial board office, the memorial hall of the former youth study site of Comrade Zhou Enlai in Tieling City was added with the sign of Yingang Academy. On December 29, 2010, the exhibition hall was open to the public free of charge.
