The theory of upholding righteousness practiced and inherited by the leaders of Shigu Academy had a far-reaching impact on the ancient academies in China. At the beginning, it was described and praised as follows: "Shigu Mountain in Hengzhou is the highest in a county, surrounded by water, according to the association of steaming Hunan." It is one of the "three musts" of Shigu Academy-"No turning pages". There is a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree on the left side of the square, which is ancient and vicissitudes.

On the right side of the square is the "General Building", because Hengyang has always been a battleground for military strategists. But Shigu Mountain is a land and water hub, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Many ancient celebrities such as Zhuge Liang, Wen Tianxiang, Zeng Guofan and Peng Yulin. Used to camp here.

There is a stone drum monument wall on the lower right bank of the river. Built in 2006, with a total length of 99 meters, 38 stone tablets engraved with poems and songs of past dynasties outline the style of the academy.

Fan Chengda, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in The Story of Shigu Mountain: "There are four academies in the world: Bulai Mountain, Jinshan Mountain, Yuelu Mountain and Shigu"; 755-79000 was written by Chen An in Ming Dynasty.

A smile, a bright moon, a bright autumn ",in exchange for the boatman's turn, spread as a beautiful talk!" "

Entering the mountain gate, you can see the sign of the Academy-a large stone drum with a height of 2.8 meters and a diameter of 1.6 meters on one side. This is also the third skill-"drums that can't be knocked." There are two opinions about the origin of the name of Shigushan: one is named after its shape. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Li Daoyuan's "Golden Bamboo and Jade Letter" said: "The mountains are green and round, like their drums, and the mountains are pure stones without soil"; The second is named after sound. Yu Zhongchu, the magistrate of Jinling, wrote a poem "The Pavilion in the North of Henan": "The stone sound contains hidden sounds, and the thunder shakes for nine days. It's amazing, as natural as God. " Dong Luohan's Notes on Water Classics: "The stone drum is in the south of Zhengkou, west of Xiangshui, knocking for dozens of miles. There is no sound of this drum today. " 055-79000 also has a supernatural record: "Lincheng County has a stone drum, which is six feet high.

Peng Yulin is resourceful and talented, especially good at drawing plum blossoms with simple lines and turbid ink. He has a sense of heroism, which Zeng Guofan called "plum blossom in the army". This is related to a childhood love. He fell in love with Peng Yulin's grandmother and adopted daughter Wang Zhubin (a beautiful aunt), but he was forced to get married because of his seniority. After the death of Mei Gu during childbirth, "a sad person has other thoughts" and vowed to commemorate her by painting Mei.

Peng Yulin's poems and paintings not only borrowed noble plum blossoms, but also expressed his deep nostalgia for his first lover.
