Lushan Bailudong Academy, the first of the four great academies in ancient China, has been admired for a long time, from the Sanzi Spring to play, it is still early, and not far away, decided to visit.
When I came, I found that it not only has a rich cultural heritage, but also preserves the original and untouched natural landscape. Between the towering ancient trees, the singing of birds and flowers, small bridges and flowing waters, and streams and springs, I admired ancient buildings, celebrity statues, and cliff carvings. When I slowly walked on the ground paved with green bricks, granite and pebbles, and from time to time I met Li Bo (Mr. Bailu), Zhou Dunyi, Zhu Xi, Li Mengyang, Wang Yangming and other sages, as if I had traveled through thousands of years, and the sound of ancient students reading aloud sounded faintly in my ears.
As a cultural person or a reader with a little taste, you must visit White Deer Cave Academy!
