Yuelu Academy baiquanxuan

Baiquanxuan was built at the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is located at the mouth of Qingfeng gorge in Yuelu Mountain, where streams and springs gather together. It is a beautiful place for Yuelu Academy. In the past dynasties, the mountain leaders loved the beauty of the stream and spring, built the porch and lived there, enjoying the natural sounds. Wu Cheng, a famous Neo Confucianist in the Yuan Dynasty, wrote a book named Baiquan Xuan Ji, which says that the stream spring in front of Baiquan Xuan is like snow and ice, like training and crane. It comes from the west, tends to the north, turns to the East, and goes around the south. The Zhu is a clear pool. It is clear and has no dross in the four seasons, and has no trickle for a moment. In the third year of Qiandao (1167) of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi visited the courtyard and "got together to visit Yuelu" with Zhang Shi, the head of the mountain. "In the daytime, the swallow sat, and in the night, the roost." both of them lived in baiquanxuan. It is said that they had studied here for three days and nights without stopping.
