Lushan Guanyun Pavilion
Starting from Sima Qian's writing in the "Records of History": "Yu Nan ascended Lushan Mountain, Guan Yu Shu Jiujiang", Lushan opened a wonderful historical drama, where the "cultural highland" of Chinese civilization competed with the peaks. One by one, the shining figures of Biao Bingqingshi came one after another, becoming brilliant stars in the night sky of Lushan Mountain.

Looking at this great historical book of Lushan, of course, the figure of Wang Yangming, the "first cattle man of the Ming and Qing dynasties", is indispensable.
In the thirteenth year of Ming Zhengde, Wang Yangming served as the governor of the Capital Inspection Bureau, inspecting Nan (安), Gan (州), Ting (州), Zhang (州), and Zhang (州). He was very concerned about the development of Lushan Bailudong Academy, and hand-wrote the full texts of "University Ancient Books" and "Zhongyong Ancient Books", including "Preface to The Ancient Books of universities" and "Monastic Sayings", to the academy, which carved a monument and a standing stone for students to study.

On the fifth night of the first five nights of August in the fourteenth year of Ming Zhengde, near the Mid-Autumn Festival in Lushan Mountain, the mountain wind carried a little coolness, and Wang Yang on the Wenshu Platform of the Great Heavenly Pond of Lushan Mountain was lying on the night to observe the celestial phenomenon, refer to astronomy, and have a bit of the charm of the immortal wind Dao bone.
Inadvertently, the Great Tianchi Valley under the night appeared full of stars, spectacular and extraordinary. Under the reminder of the mountain monk of Tianchi Temple, Wang Yang clearly believed that this was the spectacle of the "Lushan Buddha Lantern", and gladly gave the poem "Manjushri Terrace Night View Buddha Lantern":
The old man lies high on Manjushri,
The cane hits the blue sky at night.
Scattered stars full of plains,
The mountain monks came to the Buddha lamp.

Wang Yangming, who was lying high in the autumn wind, talked to the heavens at the top of Kuang Lu, visited the heavens and the earth, and the fog that had plagued his heart for several months gradually dissipated.
Just a few months ago, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, launched a rebellion in Nanchang, and he stepped forward and led his troops to defeat and capture the king of Ning, quelling the rebellion of the king of Ning that endangered Daming Jiangshan, winning the reputation of "Daming Military God", but also falling behind the rumors of the lord of high merit.
Forced by the situation of public opinion, he personally wrote articles on counterinsurgency and celebrated the merits, and carved stones on the rock wall next to Li Jing's reading desk in Lushan To record his merits, attributing all the credit to the bravery and wisdom of Emperor Wuzong of Ming.

Yangming Xinxue is one of the important theories in the history of Chinese thought and culture, and it is also one of the mainstream theories in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
Wang Yangming preached the "unity of knowledge and action", emphasized the importance of practicing practice, and put forward the theory of "to conscience", emphasizing people's subjective initiative, advocating independent thinking with profound significance, and still has great influence to this day.
In the sixteenth year of Ming Zhengde, Wang Yangming, as the founder of "Yangming Xinxue", gave a lecture at the White Deer Cave Academy, which was a sensation. At the time of parting, Wang Yangming also donated 50 taels of silver for the purchase of school land and daily expenses of the college.

The inscriptions of zhaojiang cliffs are soaked with the ethereal and colorful clouds of Lushan Mountain, the inscriptions of the White Deer Cave Academy listen to the sound of students' loud books, and Xiufeng's memorial monument witnesses the vicissitudes of history...
