The Song of Solomon has an aftertaste, how can you forget it. The academy culture, which sprouted in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, is a unique picture in the history of Chinese education. The cultural context of the academy is not only to cultivate a large number of materials that can be applied to the world and take on the great responsibility of "governing the country and leveling the world", but also to provide indispensable spiritual wealth and social ideals for Huaxia Anbang. As the Lan family's inheritance, Huayang Academy advocates the style of learning, and its influence on the culture and education of Beizhai and even Qingdao cannot be ignored. Standing in front of the former site of Huayang Academy, there seems to be the sound of Langlang reading in the ears, and elegant figures walk by, telling the educational philosophy and humanistic spirit contained in more than 500 years ago, and also telling the rise and fall of a well-known "institution of higher learning" in the township.
The hometown loves to build a college
The backbone of the academy lies not in the architecture, but in the teachers. As a prestigious family in Qingdao, Lan Zhang created Huayang Academy, which was the first of the family's poetry and book heirlooms, and achieved the Lan family's career. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Lan clan produced 5 Jinshi (1 Wujinshi), 12 Juren, 56 Gongsheng, and hundreds of ...... people, such as Xuansheng, Zengsheng, Xuansheng, Jiansheng, Wusheng, etcSuch "achievements" are in front of us, attracting us to travel back to the beginning, collide with the eyes of many historical sages one by one, and finally find such a clear "source" as the Blue Medal.
Blue Medal, famous for his intelligence in the township when he was a teenager, in 1484 in the examination of the Blue Medal was promoted to the rank of sergeant. Subsequently, because of his achievements, he was promoted to Guizhou Provincial Supervision Imperial History, Shanxi Taifu Temple Shaoqing, and Dali Temple Right Court Captain. Decades of ups and downs in officialdom, there are glory and disappointment, in the twelfth year of Ming Zhengde (1517), Lan Zhang resigned and resolutely returned to his hometown. Although the ancestors of the Lan family came out with martial arts, but attached great importance to the style of poetry and calligraphy, Lan Zhang inherited the scholarly tradition of his grandfather Lan Fusheng, and after returning to his hometown, he built Huayang Academy at the foot of Huayang Mountain at the southern foot of Hualou Mountain, for his children to rest and study, and also gave him a "stage" for the inheritance of educational spirit and ideas, and taught his children Xi with his children, hired senior Confucian teachers, and personally taught his children.
Some scholars have pointed out that Lanzhang's Huayang Academy opened the Ming and Qing dynasties, when courtiers returned to the countryside to build a house to teach. Regarding Huayang Academy, there is such a record in the "Laoshan Chronicles" written by Huang Zongchang, the imperial historian of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty: "The so-called erudite and famous Confucianism is really self-satisfied with the deep ears of Huayang......A gentleman is self-reliant, that is, a hill and a ravine, and the great cause is in Si. Ann in its can't be eternal!"Among the Lan documents that can be seen at present, the earliest one to write an article about Huayang Academy was the 11th Lan Qihua. His article "Huayang Academy" said: "Erlao is secluded in the corner of the sea, and the inner peak is ......In the past, I served the imperial history first, and tried to build a academy. According to the north and the south, the momentum is open and secluded, as a thatched pavilion one, a book collection and a retreat place, a kitchen stove room. ”
Xing family cultivates talents
After the completion of the academy, the scale continued to expand, and in the first year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1522), Lanzhang built the Ziyun Pavilion in the academy, and "recruited Yanxian Juju Seat" to teach. There was a creation in the past, and there was an inheritance in the future, and most of the descendants of the Lan family studied here. Clan culture is an important part of traditional Chinese culture, and academy education is an extension of family enlightenment education, which establishes a academy on the basis of the completion of the enlightenment education of the children of the family, invites teachers to continue education, teaches the children to systematically learn Xi knowledge of literature and history, and prepares for the imperial examination. Therefore, in the hundreds of years of development, the academy has cultivated a large number of talents.

Since the Blue Chapter, the Lan family has successively produced more than 50 people such as Jinshi, Juren, and Gongsheng. Lan Zhang's sons Lan Tian, Lan Yan, and Lan Yin all studied here, and they are known as "Lan's Three Phoenixes". In addition to the three Lantian brothers, the talents cultivated here are: Lan Shisun, a tribute during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty;Lan Ling, the fourteenth year of Chongzhen (1641) Jinshi;Lan Zaimao, Chongzhen two years (1629) to pay tribute, as the magistrate of Nanpi County;Lan Shen, Shunzhi eight years (1651) Engong, served as the magistrate of Linhuai County, Jiangnan;Lan Run, in the third year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1646), he was a political envoy to Huguangbu;Lan Qisu, in the twenty-third year of Kangxi (1684), was appointed as the secretary of the cabinet;Lan Qiyan, Jinshi in the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi (1700), etc. Huang Zhaojaw's "Laoshan Continuation Chronicles" recorded: Feng Wenqi, a teacher of Huayang Academy, commented on the Lan family's disciples, "Shishao Gongye, regardless of his Dengxian Book, Jienan Palace, and Han Yuan, the people of the list of scholars have been winged and winged, and they have been endless. ”

The education system of Huayang Academy is strict, and the introduction of Lanrun's poem "Provincial Kexuan" records that "Jiaxu dropped out of school, and to Yiyouke, counting 12 years, the suffering of the cold window, I can't bear to speak." ......If you are strictly disciplined and supervised, the karma teacher will be cut, and Park will be punished, let alone bear to say it, give it discipline, and show me the queen. ”。
Recruit talents and accumulate literature
Due to its rich collection of books, Huayang Academy became the largest academy with the largest scale, the most talents and the greatest influence at that time, and was well-known in the township. The spirit of the academy embodies a kind of intellectual and rational academic spirit, and also embodies the social ideal of recruiting talents. Reminiscing about the past, still smelling the fragrance of books, in the quiet mountains and forests, the cultural heritage is implanted into the spiritual bones of generations of literati.
Huayang High Pavilion towers over the mountains, and the sky is close at hand. Perched birds are lightly rained on the eaves, and the clouds are low in the light smoke cage trees. "The thousand rocks and rain wash the rainbow bridge, and the immortals on the bridge blow the hole flute. Dream and pearl swimming in nine waters, for a while the tide of the sea gate. These ancient poems vividly describe the charming scenery of Huayang Academy, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and beautiful scenery. In such a scene, Huayang Academy is a treasure place for studying, and the open door not only recruits children of their own clan, but also recruits children with foreign surnames. Lan Run's poem "Provincial Kexuan" records 14 students with foreign surnames who studied with him in Huayang Academy, saying: "Jiaxu has dropped out of school, and he has been working for 12 years, and the suffering of the cold window is unbearable. Successively in the same society, Wang Tifeng, Sun Jie'an, Wang Mingyuan, Wang Zhongyu, Yang Shengzhi, Yang Kuiqing, Lu Qiuqing, Hu Eryou, Song Weigong, Yin Qianchu, Lu Shuzhi, Zhao Yunzi, Yuan Xuehang, Jiang Yuxuan and other princes. ”
In the dawn of the ancient star, the cold and heat are no longer ......Whoever mourns this labor often takes away the time. This poem "Tian Leak" is about the passage of time and cherishing time. After going around for more than 100 years, now standing in front of the only remaining ruins of the academy ruins, looking at the inscriptions written by the Blue Chapters such as "Pillow Stone Gargle" and "Qushui Liuzhen", I can't help but feel that in that era, what a great ideal the Blue Chapter had to arrive here. I have seen the high spirits, I have seen the generous and sad songs, as if a quiet old man is standing in place, letting time fly, conveying the glory of the past about the academy. Walking slowly in the depths of the academy, the profound historical and cultural heritage accumulated by the sages still inspires future generations.
Abandon the decline and the wind and bones
The murmuring came from the west through the ages, and eventually it never returned. Comprehensive literature and folk rumors, the decline of Huayang Academy, when the seventh grandson of Lanzhang Lan Qiyan (Jinshi) served as the commander of Xihe County, Gansu during the Kangxi and Yongzheng years of the Qing Dynasty, it was at the time when Gansu and Shaanxi were using troops in the western region and died of exhaustion. In addition, after Lan Qiyan's nephew Lan Zhongcong died of illness at the age of 22, Lan Rongzhao hanged himself at the age of 32, and as a result, Lan Qiyan and the two descendants who had high hopes have been unexpected, the Lan family has declined, the academy has gradually declined, and it has become colder, and the past glory has gone. Although it was repaired for more than 100 years, it was difficult to restore the old view. Most of the descendants of the Lan family also moved to Dongya Academy or Yangkou Xiaopenglai Zixia Pavilion to study. This can be seen in the poem "You Huayang Academy" by the 16th Lan Yuan, which can be seen in its desolate pathos, "Huayang is looking for victories, and I sit and talk about the scriptures." I don't see anyone talking about the scriptures, and I leave the moss in the air. ”

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the academy still had walls. In 1935, Blue Water revisited Huayang Academy, reminiscing about the past and the present, with a lot of emotion, and there are poems: "In that year, the victory was to build a flat spring, and the trees and stones were quiet and quiet. Bravely retire to talk about the joy of mountains and rivers, and collect books to hope that children and grandchildren will be virtuous. Where is the place to talk about the scriptures?Mochizuki has no buildings and sleepless nights. Dan barrier does not know the sense of prosperity and waste, and Gao Junyun is still there. After 1949, the site was opened for military use.
Although Huayang Academy was abandoned, it was opened by the Blue Chapter and influenced the surrounding poetry and book heirlooms, and the many academies in Jimo and Laoshan can still show the wisdom of countless Confucian teachers and sages under the candlelight. The culture of the academy is as splendid as other traditional cultures, and it needs to be awe-inspiring, rigorous, and carefully cared for. Nowadays, there are still nostalgic people, who will make a special trip back to this land soaked in cultural thought, climb the stairs, in the green bamboo, and see the teacher who preaches and teaches and solves doubts in a trance, and the heart floats through a trace of wet nostalgia.
