history

The changes of Anding academy and Hu Gong Temple

In 1226, the second year of Baoqing in Southern Song Dynasty, Chen Xun, the governor of Taizhou, built anding Academy on the left side of Mount Tai, 436 years earlier than Yangzhou anding Academy. The Academy, also known as anding lecture hall, stopped lecturing because of the dilapidated buildings.

At the beginning of Jiajing, Lei Yinglong, the censor of salt inspection, changed the yunu temple at the southern foot of Mount Tai into an academy and resumed his lecture activities. Wang Gen, the founder of Taizhou School, presided over the Academy twice.

In the ninth year of emperor Shizong's reign (1530), the imperial court ordered Hu Yuan to "worship Confucius Temple, which is called the pre Confucian beard". Therefore, Taizhou built two special temples to worship Hu Yuan: one in the southeast of the city, and the other in the Bell Tower Lane. In the early Qing Dynasty, these two temples were broken.

In 1538, Yang Zhan, the censor of Zhili, came to Taizhou. He learned that Hu Yuan's lecture site was near Mount Tai, that is, he dedicated himself to Mr. anding in the Academy. In October of the same year, he set up the stele of Mr. Hu's lecture site in Song anding and the stele of Anding temple.

In 1564, Geng Ding, the inspector of Jiajing, worshipped Hu Yuan in the East lecture hall and Wang Gen in the West lecture hall. In the following year, the temple was renovated with the funds raised by Zhu bingru and Wang Bi, the second son of Wang Gen.

In 1605, Zhang Yune, deputy military envoy, donated money to build the Academy, which was renamed "Taishan academy"; in the next year, the temple of YUEWU mu in Taishan was repaired, and the temple of Anding was also repaired.

At the end of Ming Dynasty, academies and ancestral halls were abandoned in the war. It was rebuilt twice during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty.

In 1740, Duan Yuanwen, the governor of Qianlong, renamed the academy "Hugong academy", and then rebuilt it twice.

In the second year of Jiaqing (1797), the history of salt transportation in Huaihe River and Huaihe River advocated donating thousands of gold to build academies.

In the first year of Daoguang (1821), Zhizhou Zhao Yue rebuilt the academy and ancestral hall. When he built the ancestral hall, he built a wall in front of it, and the gate of the ancestral hall was to the south. Since then, Anding temple has become its own courtyard in the Academy.

When the Taiping army occupied Nanjing in Xianfeng, the academies were closed and the houses were deserted.

Guangxu five years (1879) overhaul, Academy, Temple House a total of 54 rooms.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the imperial examination was abolished and the academies were closed.

In 1903, Hou Shaoying, the governor of Taizhou, set up Taizhou School, repaired the old houses and built new houses. There were 85 houses and repaired the ancestral hall.

After the revolution of 1911, Taizhou middle school, private huaidong public school, Jiangsu Provincial substitute middle school, private Shimin middle school and Jiangsu Taizhou middle school were successively established at the former site of Taizhou School until liberation.

After liberation, it was Taizhou middle school in Jiangsu Province, and now it is the old campus of Taizhou middle school in Jiangsu Province. The campus has been built many times: the Ximen street has been widened, the Yuanmen gate of the former academy has been demolished, and the old stone drum gate has been replaced by the new iron gate. Due to the needs of the campus layout, the butterfly Hall of the former academy has moved to the East slightly. In 2009, Anding Academy was rebuilt and fan Zeng inscribed a plaque for it.

architectural style

According to historical records, as early as the second year of Baoqing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1226), Taizhou built anding Academy on the left side of Mount Tai, which is one of the oldest academies in Jiangsu Province. At first, the ancestral hall of Hu Yuan in Taizhou was in Anding academy, and it was only in the early Qing Dynasty that it formed its own courtyard in the Academy. At the beginning of Jiajing period in the Ming Dynasty, Anding Academy was relocated to its present site and then expanded many times. In Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, there were three main doors and the left and right eight character walls, the East and West Cross Street gate, the living room, the East and West Deacon's hall, the zhaishe and the library. Most of the ancient academies in China have exquisite architecture and beautiful environment. The East deacon Hall of Anding academy is connected with the living room and the cloister. The four corners fly up and look like a butterfly, also known as the butterfly hall. After the living room, built ring biting, Bihe pool, frame board bridge, with garden victory. The purpose of academy is not only to impart knowledge, but also to cultivate sentiment and moral character. Beauty can not only enlighten literary thinking, but also has a subtle effect on personality shaping.

Like the sages, architecture also presents a fine and thick style. Today's anding academy is both simple and rich. Every picture, plaque and couplet here It's worth savoring and chewing. The couplets in the front hall of the academy are meaningful: looking up to the north, the temple of Yue Wumu on the top of Mount Tai is majestic; looking forward, the statue of Hu anding in the butterfly hall is dignified. The couplet in the back hall "with the casting of the timing instrument, divided into the square and Zhenduo sound", reveals the characteristics of Hu Yuan's School: "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude", "teaching according to their subjects", which was extraordinary at that time, and has not been completely heard up to now. "When the news comes, you can see peace. It's hard for people to pass on the stream." The sentence in Qianlong's poem on Mount Tai shows Hu Yuan's dedicated academic spirit: when he was more than 20 years old, he went to Qizhen temple in Mount Tai and spent 10 years together with his friends Sun Fu and Shi Jie. Every time he saw the word "Ping'an" in his family letter, he didn't read it and threw it into the mountain stream. Only then did Mount Tai have the landscape of "toushu stream" - Hu anding's referendum. "Zhu Sheng Du Diao" is also true. According to Xinhua news agency, Hu Yuan is also a musician who is "good at rhythm and familiar with ancient music": he and Ruan Yi jointly designed the bell and chime, successfully manufactured the first set of tuning instrument for the pipe orifice, and wrote "Jingyou Yuefu Memorial", "Huangyou Yuefu Memorial", "Huangyou tingyue Tuji" and so on.

The courtyard is the same, and the flowers and trees are more abundant. A ginkgo tree planted by Hu Yuan at that time bears the wind and rain for thousands of years and witnesses the vicissitudes of thousands of years. It has made great achievements in persistent persistence. Imbued with the strong Confucian ethos of the Academy, the long lasting charm of the ancient school comes down in one continuous line with the modern education that keeps pace with the times. It will be more deeply rooted and poetic!
