Lianghu Village is located in the southeast of Shanxi Province, Jincheng City, Gaoping City, Yuancun Township, 15 kilometers southwest of Gaoping City, is a large-scale, reasonable layout, very distinctive traditional village. Located in Lianghu Village, Lianghu Academy is the former residence of the Kangxi Emperor's teacher Tian Fengji, and it was from here that the Tian family's family tradition of "cultivating and reading heirlooms" sprouted. Tian Fengji returned to his hometown, gave lectures, and the traditional private schools with the Tao of Confucius and Mencius and Cheng Zhu Lixue as the core cultivated a large number of officials who cherished the society, loved Limin, and were loyal to the king and the country, and their noble virtues benefited Shanxi, Zhejiang, Henan and other places, and a large number of students were deeply influenced by him, practiced what they preached, inherited Confucian thought, and made contributions to the prosperity of the country.
Since its establishment 5 years ago, on the one hand, Tracing back to the roots, and actively playing the core role of the "Rural Reading Center" of the College; On the other hand, it has continuously improved its functions and restored the model of traditional colleges, and has now become a well-known cultural think tank and cultural landmark in Shanxi Province and even the whole country.
Liangdo Academy invites well-known domestic personalities, scholars, writers, etc. to hold forums in the college, based on traditional culture, discussion and exchange, involving the promotion of traditional culture, the protection of ancient buildings, rural revitalization, cultural tourism development, etc. It has organized four national "ancient village protection conferences" in Lianghu Ancient Village, inviting experts and scholars, industry insiders, and representatives of ancient villages from all over the country to participate in the promotion of rural revitalization, cultural self-confidence, rural tourism and other issues through offline forums and online exchanges, exploring the road to cultural rejuvenation and the method of rural revitalization.
After the discussion and exchange of experts and scholars, the local government not only compiled these views into a book, but also took feasible measures to implement them in the later stages, making Ryodo Academy a base for promoting rural revitalization and cultural rejuvenation.
The Chinese nation has gone through 5,000 years of ups and downs, and countless benevolent people have made traditional Chinese culture a human treasure that is different from any other civilization through continuous pursuit and exploration.
Civilization traditions such as "respecting heaven and earth, nature and harmony," "filial piety first," "loyalty to the king, patriotism, respect for the old and love for the young," and so on have become the core values that guide the production and life of the Chinese nation, from heaven and earth to people, from self-cultivation and self-examination to home and country, from dignitaries and dignitaries to peddlers and pawns, from hundreds of craftsmen to craftsmen, all of which are not included, all of which are not included, all of which are immeasurable, whose strength cannot be ignored, and whose significance in inheriting and carrying forward these excellent traditional cultures is far-reaching and important.

Innovative models, "digital" let the culture upgrade again
To spread traditional culture in the new era, we must learn from the past; In order to further develop traditional culture, it is necessary to learn new things and then innovate. Blindly clinging to it is not conducive to the spread of traditional culture, but may completely eliminate the soul of revived culture.
With the advent of the digital age, the traditional mode of communication has not been adapted, and the development of Internet communication channels such as short videos and WeChat public accounts has brought opportunities for the dissemination of traditional culture. With the help of the Internet, with the innovative model of "Internet +", through online channels, the use of live broadcast platforms, short videos, WeChat public accounts and other ways, Lianghu College promotes and disseminates traditional culture, and uses digital models to drive the development of traditional colleges, after 5 years of continuous exploration, it has accumulated a lot of valuable experience.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that in the process of digital protection and inheritance of local culture, the online platform of Times Memory has played a great role in Rongcheng Group's exploration of the digital upgrading of the traditional college model.
Times Memory Online Platform is jointly built by the Times Memory Fund of China Literature and Art Foundation, Rongcheng Group and Tsinghua University Internet Industry Research Institute, adhering to the mission of excavating, inheriting, recording and promoting Chinese culture, through the combination of online platform and offline space, using the O2O model of "Internet + culture + map + scene + payment", while exporting the excellent culture of the Chinese nation in a panoramic manner, integrating national intangible cultural heritage resources and property resources, and building a "brand +, culture +, Internet +, capital +" Platform carrier for core characteristics. The platform has promoted the integrated development of the first, second and third industries, and played a huge role in inheriting Chinese culture and helping rural revitalization.
With the help of digital channels, with the era memory platform as the core, starting from traditional culture, Liangdo Academy integrates rural revitalization, folk culture protection, handicraft inheritance, farming civilization excavation and other work, around the local culture, rural knowledge, rural craftsmanship, rural life, to discover rural values, reconstruct rural values, export rural values, rebuild the new value exchange system between cities and villages, and explore and improve a new way for culture to drive rural civilization and lead rural revitalization.
The exploration of digital models not only provides a solution for cultural dissemination, but also provides opportunities for culture to help rural revitalization. With the help of digital mode, the traditional college is expected to become the core position for cultivating the cultural self-confidence and spiritual belief of the whole people in the new era, so that the countryside can reproduce poetry, regain tradition, and lead a new life in the new era.
When reading becomes "villager self-conscious":
Dig up folklore and keep nostalgia
Ryodo College has a wealth of books, and in 2017, nearly 10,000 high-quality books were donated by the Commercial Press. As a rural reading center, the core of Ryodo Academy is books. Reading became the main function of the College. Liangdo College holds a series of book clubs, with primary and secondary school students, villagers, youth and enterprises as the core, formulating reading programs for different groups, and regularly carrying out reading sharing activities. With wisdom, self-cultivation and handling of the world as the basic content, we will explain the classics of traditional Chinese studies and share the wisdom of life.
In order to effectively disseminate and promote the excellent traditional Chinese culture, Lianghu College has opened a lecture hall and organized various forms of activities such as lectures on traditional Chinese studies, lectures on traditional Chinese medicine, women's schools, and academic forums.
On Mother's Day, Ryodo College held parent-child theme activities to enhance family affection through recitation, games and other forms, so that children can understand gratitude; During the Dragon Boat Festival, Lianghu Academy held a mountain tour to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan, and invited chinese studies teachers to explain the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival and folk activities to the children, so that the children knew how to love the country and love their hometown; On major festivals such as the Qingming Festival and the Chongyang Festival, Lianghu Academy, Gaoping City Primary and Secondary Schools, Changping Academy, etc., cooperated to carry out recitation competitions, calligraphy, and qingqing recitation activities, invited members of the Shanxi Calligraphy Association and members of the Jincheng Calligraphy Association to carry out calligraphy training and inscription activities in the college, guided young people to establish a correct outlook on life and values, led villagers to establish the traditional virtues of stressing civilization, promoting harmony, respecting the elderly and loving children, and harmonious coexistence, and called on elites to pay attention to society, give back to society, and establish a correct and positive value orientation To provide ideas for rural revitalization.
On this basis, Liangdo Academy developed and improved the reading group, sinking to enterprises, schools, hospitals, etc., to advocate reading for all. Regularly hold theme reading activities, and cooperate with the Shanxi Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature and the Provincial College of Literature to hold reading and book donation activities, the Writers of the Shanxi Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature and the Provincial College of Literature donate more than 1,000 books, and invite writers of the Shanxi Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature to write more than 100 articles on the theme of "Good Household". In order to make reading more interesting, the college often changes the reading environment, from the college to the enterprise, to the countryside, to the city, with different reading themes, reading environment to open sharing and exchange, and invite well-known scholars, university professors, well-known writers to participate in reading activities, share their wisdom in life, lead teenagers, problem youth, etc. to start a new life, and establish positive and upward values for them.

Organizations such as the "Cultivating Poetry Society" and the "Youth Home" have been established to regularly carry out activities such as writing poems, recitations, and calligraphy, which have greatly enriched the people's spiritual civilization activities.
Through the holding of these activities, Liangdo Academy has attracted a large number of traditional culture lovers and friends who like to read to the college, and in the subtle way, the local villagers have developed the habit of borrowing books from the academy regularly every day, setting an example for the civilization of the countryside.
When reading becomes "villagers' consciousness", excavating folk customs and retaining nostalgia has also become the heartfelt expectation of the local people.
Folklore and historical memory are the soul of the countryside. The memory of the village contains the humanistic traditions of the village and the spiritual beliefs of the villagers. Since entering Lianghu, Lianghu Academy has actively excavated the memories and traditions of Lianghu, and sorted out the folk culture of Lianghu in the form of words, activities, pictures, etc., through interviewing the elderly, visiting historical sites, and experiencing folk activities, so as to retain nostalgia for Lianghu.
Among the series of articles released by Lianghu Academy, the themes of "Twenty-four Festivals Folk Customs Activities", "Traditional Festivals and Customs", "Marriages and Funerals", and "Village Changes" are the mainstays, among which the special articles include more than 20 articles in the "24 Solar Terms" series, dozens of articles on the traditional series of Ryoto, and dozens of articles on the memory of Ryoto, many of which have produced enthusiastic responses. For example, after the release of "The Vanishing Wenfeng Pagoda", the old people in the village regretted the disappearance of the Wenfeng Pagoda and spontaneously organized fundraising to prepare for the reconstruction of the Wenfeng Pagoda; "The Past Under the Dragon and Phoenix Tree" allows the older generation of good households to find the joy of their youth, and the old man calls on and organizes personnel to protect the dragon and phoenix tree; The article "National Treasure Jade Virtual View" allows the villagers to have a deep understanding of the ancient cultural relics and buildings, and everyone begins to consciously maintain and repair the ancient buildings, so that the living environment of Lianghu Ancient Village is renewed; The release of the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" series of articles has made the villagers of Lianghu pay more attention to the ecological environment and farming, and the burning of straw and the destruction of turf have been greatly reduced. While publicizing the tradition of good households and enhancing the influence of good households, various special articles have effectively boosted the cultural self-confidence of villagers and injected fresh themes into rural tourism.
A "Memorial Hall", a "Good Household History". One of the biggest changes in Ryoto in the past five years has been the formation of the "Nianshido". In order to help the villagers sort out and exhibit family stories, and restore historical memories with historical objects such as family trees, land deeds, and house deeds, Ryodo Academy tried to write relevant materials by forming a "NianShi Hall", and connected these materials into a complete story, which was exhibited and passed on to the outside world. With the establishment of the "Nian Xi Tang", a large number of elderly people in Lianghu began to write memoirs, collect and sort out family stories, materials, photos and other information, leaving nostalgia for future generations, and even leaving memories of different eras.
