Recently, the launching ceremony of "Protecting Ancient Academies and Spreading New Ideas" was held in Guiyang County. At the event site, people from all walks of life actively contributed and participated in the protection of ancient academies with practical actions, a total of 940,000 yuan raised.
Guiyang Academy has a profound cultural background, with 32 academies in Ming and Qing dynasties. More than 50 imperial scholars and 100 first-degree scholars were trained successively, including Chen Shijie, Governor of Shandong Province, and Xia Shoutian, a famous runner-up in Qing Dynasty. At present, there are only 7 ancient academies with complete structure, of which 3 are seriously damaged, so it is urgent to protect them. Guiyang County will take "protecting ancient academies" as an opportunity to further carry forward the excellent tradition of advocating literature and learning, and make ancient academies an important position for disseminating ideas, culture and civilization. By running schools, stressing ideology, revitalizing culture and advocating civilization, we not only carry forward the tradition of advocating learning and emphasizing education, but also optimize educational and cultural resources, which is conducive to the new glory of Guiyang Ancient Academy in the new era.
At the event site, business people and business representatives made donations enthusiastically, and expressed their willingness to actively participate in the action of "protecting ancient academies and spreading new ideas", so as to contribute to the renovation of Guiyang ancient academy and the promotion of excellent traditional culture.
County leaders Zhang Zhao, Liu Jiuzheng, Tan Yitong, Zhou Hui, Hu Shengxiao and Gong Maoli attended the launching ceremony.
