Qiongtai Academy with Centennial Context

In the forty-fourth year of Kangxi's reign, Jiao Yinghan, a native of Shaanxi, donated 600 gold from his salary to establish Qiongtai Academy in the capital city of Qiongzhou. In the next three hundred years, this academy experienced dynasty changes, wars, and social changes, but it has continued to sing and retain its cultural context. This book uses real history as its skeleton and the fate of several generations of scholars as its flesh and blood, panoramicly recreating the rise and fall of Qiongtai Academy over three hundred years. From Jiao Yinghan's hardships in crossing the sea to build the academy, to Xie Bao's awe-inspiring righteousness in protecting the academy and rescuing people under the sword of Zhentai; from Zhang Yuesong's life as a high school scout and the head teacher of Qiongtai's calligraphy and calligraphy, to Yun Maoqi's enlightened move in formulating academic rules and recruiting children of the Li ethnic group; from Yang Wenjun's determined innovation in expanding the academy and introducing Western learning, to Wang Wenming, The heroic chapter of Yang Shanji and other Qiongtai students joining the revolution and staining the coconut grove with blood; from Lin Yuanfan guarding Kuixing Tower in the turbulent years to the new generation of Qiongtai people spreading their cultural heritage to further places - generations of Qiongtai people made choices at the crossroads of history and used their lives and blood to hold up the backbone of this academy. There are six volumes in the book, with ups and downs of plot and rich characters. There is both the weight of grand history and the joys and sorrows of personal destiny; there is the fierce game between the academy and the powerful, and there is also the character and responsibility of intellectuals in troubled times. The four words "Being worthy of the sea and mountains" are not only Jiao Yinghan's last words, but also the spiritual core throughout the book.
