Jieyang Xuegong is among the top in scale nationwide

Jieyang Xuegong was established in the tenth year of Shaoxing during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty (1140 AD), and it has been nearly a thousand years since then. After 35 renovations, adjustments, and expansions from the Song to the Qing Dynasty, it has formed the current architectural pattern with the central axis as the Confucian temple, and the east and west sides as the county school and supporting facilities. The total area is about 20,000 square meters, making it the largest of all the academies in Southern China and one of the foremost in the country. During the period of the Great Revolution, Zhou Enlai arrived in Jieyang three times and worked in the Chongsheng Temple of the academy, which also made Jieyang Xuegong a base for revolutionary tradition and patriotic education. Jieyang Xuegong will also play a more significant role in inheriting the excellent traditions of Chinese culture and building a beautiful home in Jieyang.
