"Humanism" Shangqiu —— Five thousand years' cultural accumulation

To commemorate the return of Confucius Temple

Confucius' ancestors were Song people in the Spring and Autumn Period (the ancestral home is Wanggonglou Village, six kilometers north of Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, and Confucius' ancestral grave is still here). In 680 BC, civil strife broke out in the Song Dynasty, and Confucius' great-grandfather prevented his uncle from going to Shandong to avoid the chaos. When Confucius came of age, he knew that Wanggonglou Village in Xiayi was his ancestral home, and he often went back to his ancestral home to worship his ancestors. Later, in order to commemorate Confucius' return to his hometown, the Confucius Returning Temple was built in Wanggonglou Village.

The Confucius Temple of Returning Home was built in the early Tang Dynasty. It is shaped like a Confucius Temple, facing south, with a wall, an altar, two halls, four doors and a forest of steles. Now, the forty-fifth generation of Confucius, Sun Kong and Kong Yanfu, moved here from Qufu to settle down, and repaired and expanded the Confucius Temple. In the Jin Dynasty, an apricot altar was erected in front of Dacheng Hall. In the first year of Daoguang, a temple was built. In ancient times, when imperial examinations were held, there were always many serious students who came to worship to pray for Wen Qu's blessing.

It should be a Japanese college.

Yingtian Academy, also known as Suiyang Academy and Nanjing Academy, is located in the south of Shangqiu County. It is also known as the four major academies in the Northern Song Dynasty with Songyang Academy, Yuelu Academy and Bailudong Academy. Yingtian Academy was founded by Yang Yun, a native of Shangqiu in Jin Dynasty and Five Dynasties. After the establishment of the regime in the Northern Song Dynasty, scholars began to be recruited. Because there are so many talented people here, there are as many as 50 or 60 students in the imperial examination.

In the second year of Song Xiangfu's reign (1009), Zhenzong sighed and was officially awarded the title of Yingtian Academy. Fan Zhongyan came to Yingtian Academy to study, got married and had children, settled in Shangqiu and became the bishop of Yingtian Academy. In the first year of Song Renzong Jingyou (1034), Yingtian Academy was changed into an official school, and the government allocated 10 hectares of land as school funds. In the third year of Li Qing (1043), it was changed to imperial academy, Nanjing, and it was ranked as the highest institution of learning at that time, along with Kaifeng in Tokyo and imperial academy in Xijing.
