Xiongcun is located in Xiongcun township of Shexian County, 7 kilometers away from Shexian county. The ancient peach blossom dam is close to the Jianjiang River. It is backed by Zhushan academy and dazhongcheng memorial archway. When the peach blossom is in full bloom, the peach blossom of various colors stretches for tens of meters, forming a magnificent scene of ten li red clouds. The eight trigrams architecture of Wenchang Pavilion, with its lofty ambition, is even more magnificent under the background of many ancient osmanthus trees. Xiongcun has a large number of famous officials in the past dynasties, and it is really "Xiongcun". They all started their official career in Zhushan Academy in the village. The construction of Zhushan academy is deeply imprinted with the unique thoughts of Huizhou merchants. Cao Jinyi, one of the eight salt merchants of Huaihe River and Huaihe River, who lived in Yangzhou, was called fuyunei. He was ordered to take over Emperor Kangxi, who was on his second Southern tour of Yangzhou, and reached the peak of his glory. However, they grew up under the influence of Cheng and Zhu's Neo Confucianism, with a strong concept of "four people's career, only scholars are the best" and "business lives at the end of the four people". It's just close to the natural conditions of "narrow land, dense population, and insufficient food" in my hometown, and I barely started my business career. Since the day I entered the business world, I always felt a lingering inferiority complex. The desire of "studying and becoming an official" has become an impossible expectation for them, so they regard it as the only ultimate goal of life and stubbornly transplant it into the minds of their descendants. As a result, when Cao Jingyi was critically ill, and was dying, she told her two sons, Cao Jingting and Cao Jingchen, only one thing: "we should build Wenchang Pavilion and build Academies on the banks of xiongxi." One day in the spring of the 24th year of Qianlong reign, Zhushan academy, which was built with the donation of Cao Jingting and Cao Jingchen brothers, stood at the entrance of Xiongcun village. Stepping into the gate of the Academy, the hall is spacious and bright, with a pair of gold lettered couplets on the blue bottom hanging on the front wall: "the bamboo solves the heart's weakness, and then learns the deficiency; if the mountain enters from the fall, it is necessary for it to be completed." It was written by Cao Wenzhi to encourage the later scholars. As a private educational institution, academy should raise its own funds. According to statistics, there were 54 academies in six Hui counties in Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the one hand, the Academy extended famous teachers and scholars to teach. On the other hand, through the establishment of the school field system and the donation of "tuition fees", the talented and poor people of the family were able to study in the Academy. There is also a "Wenchang Pavilion" next to Zhushan Academy. It has a flying eaves and a picture building. It is exquisite in all aspects. The pavilion is three stories high. There is a bronze bell hanging in each corner of each floor. When the breeze blows, the sound of the bell can be heard all the time. The top of the pavilion is made of pure tin into a gourd shaped treasure, which means that the stars of Wen and Qu are shining high. It also indicates that Cao's family is a family of calligraphy who was able to become an official and learned before becoming an official. Cao Wenzhi, Cao Zhenyong and his son Shangshu are the most famous officials from Xiongcun. Cao Wenzhi had been a good reader of the classics since he was a child. At the age of 25, he passed the examination of Chuanlu (the fourth Jinshi, after the number one scholar, the number one scholar, and Tanhua). He was an official in the inner court for many years, and served as a minister of the Ministry of household. Emperor Qianlong undertook six tours to the south. He was able to handle affairs without favoritism and won the emperor's favor. His son, Cao Zhenyong, received strict education from his family when he was a child. As an adult, he passed the entrance examination. There is still a story about Cao Zhenyong's hard study in Xiongcun: when he was studying in Zhushan academy, he was extremely stubborn and refused to work hard. His elder sister was very worried and advised him: "if you don't study, how can you become an official and inherit your father's career?" Cao Zhenyong praised Haikou: "I will be an official one day, and I will be my father." His elder sister urged him: "if you are an official, I will become a nun thousands of miles away." Since then, Cao Zhenyong devoted himself to studying, and then he won the list at one stroke. In order to keep her promise and insist on becoming a monk, Cao Zhenyong's persuasion failed, and he was afraid that her sister would be lonely thousands of miles away, so he had to borrow the local slang "thousands of miles across the river" to build a ciguang nunnery for her sister to practice. Today, ciguang nunnery is still hidden in the green trees and bamboos on the hillside opposite Zhushan Academy. After Cao Zhenyong became an official, Emperor Qianlong saw that his words and deeds were very similar to his father's, so he was very flattered and trusted, and constantly promoted him. After emperor Jiaqing ascended the throne, he once held a banquet in the palace and ordered his ministers to recite poems and write Fu. Cao Zhenyong won the first place in his poems, so he was promoted to minister of the Ministry of industry, and soon he was promoted to a Bachelor of Ti Ren Ge. When Emperor Jiaqing went on a tour, Cao Zhenyong stayed in the capital as prime minister to deal with government affairs. In March, he took the place of the monarch. Up to now, people in Shexian county can hear the saying that "the prime minister is in the court, but not in March.". After Emperor Daoguang succeeded to the throne, he appointed Cao Zhenyong as the Bachelor of Wuying hall, Minister of military aircraft and chief master of the study. He also granted him a mansion, and hung his portrait in the inner palace, ranking first among the officials. Xiongxi is the river that flows slowly in front of Xiongcun village, that is, the upper reaches of Xin'an River. When the Academy was first built, in order to prevent the river from washing the foundation of the Academy, a levee several miles long was built along the Bank of the river to form a battlement, on which more than 10 varieties of peach blossom and Bauhinia were planted. According to Cao Wenzhi's shigu Yanzhai poem notes, "there are hundreds of peach trees in Zhuxi. The flowers are as bright as brocade. The spring is peaceful and the scenery is bright. It's quite worth visiting..." Walking along the Bank of the river, overlooking the verdant Cangshan mountains, egrets flying low, close to the river level, the boat from the horizontal, you will think of Li Bai's "Qingxi Yin", "Qingxi clear my heart, the water color is different from the water. Ask Xin'anjiang, why? People walking in the mirror, birds in the screen. When the chimpanzee crows in the evening, the sky mourns for the wanderer. " It's a vivid picture here.

cultural education

Talents are coming out of academies. The Cao family, a wealthy Hui merchant, never forgets to invest in school and encourage their descendants to "study hard in the cold window and become famous". They pursue the system of study field, which makes them intelligent and poor, and they can go to school without being able to enter the school. Zhushan academy, which was built in 1756, is one of them. Cao Jingyi, one of the eight salt merchants of Huaihe River and Huaihe River, who lived in Yangzhou, left her two sons Cao Hanping and Cao Fuqing to build it when she was dying. Academy is a typical Huizhou garden building, which is composed of qingkuangxuan, Wenchang Pavilion and osmanthus garden. After visiting, many scholars said, "Zhushan academy is like Yihong Academy in a dream of Red Mansions." In the middle of the main hall, there is a gold lettered couplet on the blue bottom hanging on the wall: "the bamboo solves the deficiency of the heart, and then learns the deficiency; if the mountain advances from the fall, it is necessary to succeed." it was written by Cao Wenyu to encourage the later scholars. You can see that on the wall stone of Qulang courtyard, there is a stone inscription of "heaven in the mountains" written by Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher of Tang Dynasty. Its powerful and elegant handwriting seems to tell us that this is the heaven in the mountains with hidden dragon and crouching tiger.

The place where the Academy set up a lecture hall is called Qingkuang Xuan. The name of Qingkuang Fu written by Cao Xueshi is embedded in the front wall of the hall. Qing Kuang Xuan also has a name called sweet scented osmanthus hall, which is named after the small courtyard in front of the hall, where sweet scented osmanthus trees are planted everywhere. Cao's family wrote a clan agreement: if there is a winner in the clan, you can plant a tree in the courtyard. A large number of osmanthus trees show that Xiongcun has a large number of talents. There is a double octagonal pavilion on the northeast side of the osmanthus hall, which is called "Wenchang Pavilion", also known as "Lingyun Pavilion". This pavilion was built in Qing Dynasty, with brick and wood structure, carved beams and painted buildings, cornices and angles. On the South eaves of the building, the plaque of "Guan RI Ling Yun" is hung, which expresses the ambition of the academy students. The gourd shaped tin item on the ridge of the pavilion glitters in the sun. You can have a panoramic view of the mountains and waters.
