In Bazi, west of Sichuan, there is a thousand-year-old town known as the country, which is the town of Chengxiang in Qingbaijiang District, Chengdu.

Chengxiang Town is shaped like a turtle's back, similar to Chengdu, known as "Little Chengdu", and is one of the first batch of provincial-level historical and cultural towns in Sichuan Province with a complete county governance pattern, rich cultural connotation and distinctive tourism characteristics in the Chengdu Plain. Since the establishment of the county rule in the Western Wei Dynasty, there have been 1600 years of institutional history, 1000 years of county governance history, presenting 4 streets, 32 lanes and 64 courtyards, preserving the rich historical and cultural relics of the Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and the Republic of China, with 6 provincial-level cultural relics protection units such as the Peng Da Da's Ancestral Hall, the Temple of Literature, the Wu Temple, the MingJiao Temple, the Xiuchuan Academy, and the Chen Ancestral Hall, creating a splendid "Academy Culture", "County Governance Culture", "Ancestral Hall Culture", "Heroic Culture" and "Anti-War Culture". Wang Bo, Li Shangyin, Su Dongpo, Lu You, Yang Shen, Yu Youren, Zhang Daqian and other celebrities have come to live here.

The most famous in Chengxiang Town is the "Xiuchuan Academy".

Xiuchuan Academy, located in Dadong Street, Chengxiang Town, was founded during the Jiayou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, and was originally located in the West Street of Chengxiang Town, named Jintang Academy. In the 59th year of the Qing Kangxi Dynasty (1720), Jintang County ordered Chen Shunming to relocate the academy to its current location on Dadong Street, which was renamed "Xiuchuan Academy" because of the nearby Xiuchuan River, a tributary of the Bihe River. In the sixteenth year of the Qianlong Dynasty (1751), the county order Zhang Nanying, the twenty-sixth year of the Qianlong Dynasty (1761) the county order Rao Xuexi, and the tenth year of the Qing Jiaqing (1805) county order Xie Weijie repaired and added three times, making it one of the earliest, largest and most booked academies in Chengdu. Xiuchuan Academy has successively served as a mountain chief (similar to a dean), and all of them are erudite. Li Tiaoyuan of the "Three Talents of Shu Zhong", Liu Guangdi, one of the "Six Gentlemen of the Penghu Reform Law" in the late Qing Dynasty, and Luo Chengjun, the only leader in Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty, came to the academy to give lectures. Zhao Juntao, the mother of the famous revolutionary Li Peng and former premier of the State Council, once taught the academy and spread the spark of revolution.

The academy sprouted in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song Dynasty, continued in the Yuan Dynasty, and popularized in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is a special form of education organization in Chinese history, and it is also a very distinctive education system in Chinese education. As an educational organization system with relative autonomy, the academy is the result of the high development of traditional education in ancient China. From the private school founded by Confucius to the controversy of the hundred families of the sons, to the autonomous educational organization of the Han and Tang Dynasties, all of them show the advantages of this relatively autonomous private education system. The academy can become a new type of cultural and educational organization because it inherits and carries forward the characteristics and advantages of the ancient Chinese private education system, and with its academic research and dissemination base, tenaciously inherits China's excellent traditional context, promotes the continuous development of Chinese culture, and has an extremely important and profound impact on China's social politics, economy and culture.

The two sides of the courtyard are box rooms, the middle hall is the outer lecture hall, which belongs to the counseling office of the chief of the house, and the angles at both ends of the roof ridge are dragon tails, which means that wangzi jackie chan. There is a hall in the courtyard of the three entrances, and the largest courtyard is rectangular, and the two sides are the main places for students to attend classes.
