structure

The Confucius Temple and Dacheng hall in Baoying county had been destroyed twice in the wars during the song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. After reconstruction and addition, they became a complete and large-scale ancient architectural complex in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. It covers an area of about 50 mu, reaching zhujiaxiang in the East, xiannanjie in the west, yingxiumen in the South and xuedunxiang in the north. It is surrounded by rivers, stone bridges, beautiful water in the South and "peak" in the north. At that time, yingxiumen, zhuangyuanqiao, panchi (Confucius' inkstone pool, later called yangyuchi), lingxingmen, dingjiafang, Jimen, Dacheng hall, Minglun hall, leiying hall, Wenchang temple, zunjingge, Tiankui Pavilion and other buildings were arranged on the axis in turn. The East is the Deputy academic department, and the west is shepu hall. The layout is symmetrical and each has its own potential. The gate of the Deputy academic department is an ancient archway with three couplets, one high and two low. On the lintel of the middle building is the word "Pengbo 90000"; on the lintel of the lower three couplets are the plaques of "champion" Wang Shidan, "Bangyan" Ji Yu "and" Tanhua "Feng Xu. They are majestic and magnificent, commonly known as" tripod Jiafang ". At the back of the school palace, there is a mound of earth and a Square Pavilion on it. It is called "Zhuangyuan peak" and is usually called "Xuedun".

Landscape change

The existing Dacheng hall, Minglun hall and other buildings are only relics. Dacheng hall was renovated in 1992. The hall has a single eaves, five rooms wide and nine purlins deep. The two ancient ginkgo trees in front of the hall are still green after 400 years of vicissitudes. The overall architectural pattern of Baoying academic palace retains the basic characteristics of ancient Chinese academic palace, but the single building is unique, rich in local characteristics, clear evolution, rich in historical information and profound cultural connotation, which provides an important basis for the study of architectural history and the development of Confucian culture in Jianghuai region. In 2006, the government implemented the plan and restored yingxiumen, Zhuangyuan bridge, panchi and other buildings.

BAOYING academy is one of the famous cultural relics in Central Jiangsu. By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, a group of buildings with complete scale and magnificent momentum had been formed. According to Daoguang's "rebuilding Baoying county annals" of Qing Dynasty, there are more than ten buildings from south to north, such as Zhaobi, Yingxiu bridge, panchi, Lingxing gate, Jimen, Dacheng hall, Minglun hall, leiying hall, Zunjing Pavilion, Dingjia square. Most of the buildings of Houxue palace were destroyed in the war. During the period of the Republic of China, the former shepu hall on the west side of the school palace was changed into a stadium, and the Confucius Temple was changed into a school. Until the early liberation, yingxiumen, panchi, dingjiafang, lingxingmen, Jimen, Dacheng hall, and Minglun hall were still in good condition. After the 1960s, panchi was filled up and the Lingxing gate was rebuilt. In the early period of the cultural revolution, dingjiafang was demolished and the upper half of Yingxiu gate was destroyed. In 1992, the county government and the Provincial Department of culture allocated special funds to carry out large-scale maintenance of Dacheng hall, the main building of the Academy. At present, Dacheng hall, Minglun hall and ancient ginkgo are well preserved. Some of the stones in panchi are buried underground, and some of them are on the Bank of the city's riverbank.

In 2019, the government will restart the school renovation project, strengthen the protection and repair of cultural relics, give full play to the social and educational role of cultural relics, and further promote traditional culture.
