In the history of our country, the Goose Lake Academy in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, is associated with a series of dazzling names - Zhu Xi, Lü Zuqian, Lu Jiuling, Lu Jiuyuan's "Goose Lake Meeting" has a far-reaching influence, and Xin Shuyi and Chen Liang's "Goose Lake Meeting" has won the color of the literary world. And all of this happened at Goose Lake Academy. Therefore, when people come here, they can already feel the vicissitudes of time and the thickness of history when they see the mottled pink walls and the indistinct inscriptions.
Goose Lake Academy is located in the foothills of Goose Lake mountain in Shangrao Leadshan County, Jiangxi, and is one of the four major colleges in ancient Jiangxi in China. Not far from the academy, I saw a rather quaint stone archway, four pillars, and the four big characters of "Sven Sect Lord" written on it are the most appropriate evaluations of Zhu Xi, the sect of science. The carved shapes on the cornices are particularly eye-catching, and from a distance, it looks like a phoenix looking up at the sky, vivid.
I have visited some colleges and found that there are many fixed patterns of architectural regulations of the colleges, such as they are always matched with a pool of lake water and a stone bridge. The name of this bridge is always called "Zhuangyuan Bridge", and the Zhuangyuan Bridge always has the same auspicious meaning - walking on the bridge, you can succeed in your studies and have a gold list title. The pool water under the bridge is turquoise and deep, which can't help but remind people of the artistic conception of "the lotus has no rain cover, and the chrysanthemum residue still has proud frost branches".
There are many stone plaques and inscriptions of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the collection of the academy, including 6 inscriptions of the Ming Dynasty and 8 inscriptions of the Qing Dynasty, with different contents, mainly to rebuild the inscriptions of the academy, all the way down, the history of Goose Lake Academy is also clear at a glance.
Not a new academy built in recent years for the sake of vassalage, Goose Lake Academy has a long history, it was founded in the Southern Song Dynasty during the Chun Dynasty, and later rebuilt several times after several military disasters, these surviving inscriptions record the endless changes of the world and the vicissitudes of the years.
The lecture hall is a place for the college to preach and teach and solve problems, with red and black tones as the mainstay, and the overall solemnity and simplicity. There is a podium in the front, and the wall books on both sides have four big characters of "loyalty, filial piety, honesty, and festival", which imitate Zhu Xi font. Standing in the lecture hall, holding his breath, it seems that you can see the figures of students shuttling back and forth, singing and answering, and you can hear the sound of reading aloud.
The quaint buildings are hidden under the lush trees, and everything is an old pattern, and everywhere is filled with a quaint and deep atmosphere.
Houses, like people, like to hide their hearts under their expressions and hide the years in their folds. The wind of the Song Dynasty passed by from here, leaving a gentle turn of "wanting to say and rest"; the rain of the Ming and Qing dynasties drifted by from this place, leaving behind the poetry of "a journey of mountains, a journey of water"; the wise philosophers walked through this place, leaving behind the thoughts of shining future generations.
The stories that happened over the years are now anecdotes, and they travel through time and space to make people marvel and sigh.
The stone sculptures in the academy recreate the scene of the "Meeting of Goose Lake". In the second year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1175 AD), the famous philosophers Lü Zuqian, Zhu Xi, Lu Jiuyuan and Lu Jiuling gathered at the Goose Lake Temple in Leadshan County, Jiangxi Province, and engaged in a fierce confrontation between "science" and "psychology" for three days.
The past is more than a thousand years. From a high altitude, Goose Lake Academy is not large, towering trees, clear pool water, flying stone bridges, gray and white buildings together to build the world of readers, the small volume of deep hidden in the glorious history of future generations.
