brief introduction

Shixia academy is a famous building in the middle of Longshan island. Not far from the academy is Hai Rui temple. Stepping into the wall door is a lecture hall of about 200 square meters. The structure of the lecture hall is similar to that of the middle hall of ordinary large families. In order to facilitate lighting, the top of the middle part is not covered, and it is directly connected with the sky. Across the back waist door of the lecture hall is a hall connected with a small patio, which is connected with the back door leading to the outside of the courtyard. Out of the back door, you can see a small pond. Beside the pond, there is a Taihu Lake stone with the word "fangtang" written on it. At first, Shishi academy has a large scale, covering an area of more than 4000 square meters. Now we see Shixia academy, which is simple, elegant, dignified and beautiful. It broke the ground in June 2000 and was rebuilt on June 28, 2001, covering an area of 11000 square meters. It is based on the architectural style of Hui style, and strives to uphold the purpose of "repair the old as the old, keep the original appearance". For example, eaves and beams should adopt Chun'an The house materials in the old folk ancestral hall are assembled, so that they are simple, authentic and elegant.

History of Academies

The history of Shixia academy can be traced back to the first year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty. Shixia, which was originally located at the northern foot of Longshan mountain, got its name because of its "land overlooking Shixia". When the Academy was built, Fang FengChen gave lectures here. In the second door of the main hall, there is a horizontal plaque of "famous Neo Confucianist" written by Mr. Guo Zhongxuan, and "the first of Shixia civilization, Neo Confucianist of Qingxi" written by Mr. Du Xuan, a famous writer of Shanghai Federation of literary and art circles. It tells us about Zhu Xi, who has a deep relationship with Chun'an. Zhu Xi was a famous Neo Confucianist in the Southern Song Dynasty. He came to Chun'an to give lectures and lived there for three years. It can be seen that he attached great importance to Chun'an, the "land of literature". In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi, at the invitation of Zhan Yizhi, a minister of the Ministry of official affairs in Chun'an, came to Yingshan academy to give lectures, leaving many good stories. From the first year of the Southern Song Dynasty to the 34th year of Xianchun, there were 308 Jinshi in Chunan County, among which 74 were trained by Shixia Academy. Thus, it can be seen that Shixia academy is indeed a place where talents come forth in large numbers, just as the couplet says: carry on the past and open up the future, heaven pass on the sun and moon, family pass on the treasure, today and in ancient times, there are mountains and rivers, state-owned materials.

architectural style

Recently, scuba divers discovered the Shixia academy, which has been sleeping at the bottom of the lake for 58 years, in the underwater ancient city of Qiandao Lake. It's a hot topic. On August 9, two sets of CCTV columns "is it true" verified this. This news has also attracted much attention in our city, because the academy is a pure Huizhou architecture and has a historical origin with Huizhou.

It is understood that the Shixia academy discovered by diving enthusiasts is located in the Central Lake area of Qiandao Lake (Hecheng, the old county town of Chun'an). According to the information released, Shixia academy is a pure Hui style building. It was built in 1174 A.D. in the first year of Chunxi reign of the Southern Song Dynasty. The original site of Shixia academy is at the northern foot of Longshan mountain, which is named after "its ground overlooks Shixia". From the first year of Chunxi to the 34th year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were 308 Jinshi in Chun'an County, among which 74 were trained by Shixia Academy.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Fang Mengkui, a native of Chun'an, went to Beijing to take the exam. He was the first of 542 Jinshi. He was named the number one scholar by song LiZong and was named Fang FengChen. In the same year, Fang FengChen's younger brother, Fang Fengzhen, was also promoted to Shixia Academy. In addition, Huang Tuo, Fang FengChen's classmate a few years ago, ranked the top of the list. He menggui, a schoolmate, got to explore flowers. Long Yan, a great joy of song LiZong, wrote couplets in his own hand and gave them to Shixia Academy: "one door can reach two places, and a hundred Li can reach three yuan.". Since then, the academy has become one of the famous academies in Western Zhejiang.

Diving enthusiasts have taken some valuable images in the Academy. The structure of the Academy, the layout of the hall, bricks, wood, stone carvings and other house materials are all typical Huizhou architectural style. Chen Zheng, deputy director of the local chronicles of the city, told reporters that in history, there were six regional names of Huizhou, including sheer County, Xindu, Xin'an, Shezhou, Huizhou and now Huangshan City. The academy is located in Chun'an County. It was founded in 1174. According to official history, Shezhou was changed into Huizhou in 1121 (Xuanhe period of Huizong of Song Dynasty). At that time, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty had established the capital of Lin'an, and Chun'an belonged to the East Township of she county when he built She and she counties in the Three Kingdoms, that is to say, Chun'an belonged to she'er county at that time. Later, the song royal family moved southward and Huizhou culture rose. The society, culture, art and architecture of Chun'an were integrated with Huizhou. Although Chun'an was divided later, it was connected with Huizhou in terms of mountains and rivers and culture. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the Shixia academy and the existing academies in Huizhou are Huizhou architecture.

Yao Shunlai, an expert on the protection of Huizhou ancient buildings, believes that there are three reasons why Shixia academy is the same as Huizhou architecture: first, the concept of geography. In ancient times, Chun'an belonged to the East Township of Shexian County, and at that time, they used to go by water. Chun'an and Shexian county had a narrow strip of water, and they had a strong compatibility in economy, society, including construction craftsmen. Second, they had a cultural concept. The main reason is that after the Southern Song Dynasty moved its capital to Lin'an, it was the prosperous period of Huizhou culture, and Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism became the unified cultural concept of the Southern Song Dynasty; the third is the integration of architecture. Both Chun'an and Huizhou belonged to the great Huizhou craftsman system of Pan Huizhou region at that time. The plane layout, structure and shape characteristics of the buildings were basically the same. Only the details were integrated into the regional characteristics. For example, the buildings in Nanxiang and BEIXIANG of Shexian county were different in details.

The origin of couplets

Chun'an County was famous for its literature in ancient times, especially since Sui and Tang Dynasties. All along, there have been many places to give lectures. On the hillside of Longshan Island, Qiandao Lake, a Shixia academy commemorating the lectures of ancient celebrities is located here. "Shixia academy" is inscribed by Mr. Shao Huaze. There is a couplet on both sides of the door: "one door ascends two times, and a hundred Li foot is three yuan". Here is a story handed down. During the period of Chun'an in Southern Song Dynasty, Fang Mengkui, a native of Chun'an, went to Beijing for an examination. He took the lead among 542 Jinshi. He was awarded the title of No.1 scholar by Emperor LiZong of Song Dynasty. In the same year, Fang FengChen's younger brother, Fang Fengzhen, was also a scholar. In addition, Huang Tuo, Fang FengChen's classmate a few years ago, ranked second in the list. He menggui, a student friend, won three places to visit flowers, which made song LiZong Longyan very happy. So he wrote this couplet and gave it to Shixia Academy. Since then, the academy has become one of the famous academies in Western Zhejiang.
