Yuelu Imperial Academy, one of four most famous imperial academies in the
Song Dynasty (960AD-1279AD), is located at the foot of Yuelu Mountain in
Hunan's Changsha. It is a "thousand-year academy" which is most
well-preserved and run as a school till now. This imperial academy was
officially initiated in 968, the first year of Kaibao during the reign of
Emperor Song Taizu (founding father of the Song Dynasty). The academy
then established the basic architectural layout of classrooms, book
storage building and palace of sacrificial ceremony. It became a lot more
well-known due to the plaque "Yuelu Shuyuan" (Yuelu Imperial Academy)
granted and written by Emperor Zhenzhong (the third emperor in the Song
Dynasty). Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1616-1911)
also granted plagues to the Yuelu Imperial Academy. After the Revolution
of 1911, the academy was named Hunan Normal University and at present it
is where the Hunan University is.
