The Society undertakes Fengyuan College to promote Chinese culture in the form of private lectures. The founder of Fengyuan Academy, Ai Xin Jue Luo Yuxun, was a descendant of Daishan, the Prince of Qingli, born in 1906, and his mother was from the Niuhulu clan, the same year as the last emperor Puyi, and was also a student companion. After Yu Xun came to Taiwan in 1947 and died in 2011 at the age of 106, Xu Hong and other disciples took over The Fengyuan Academy and continued to promote Chinese culture.

Yu taught Professor Wei Feide of the University of California

According to the Hong Kong China Commentary Agency, Fengyuan Academy is located in an old building in the third section of Roosevelt Road in Taipei City, and when you enter the door, you can see the "statue" of Teacher Yu Zheng, and on the wall hangs a small plaque of "Changbai And another Village, Sunguo Flower And Armor Festival", and on the side hangs Yu Zheng's handwriting "Ordinary People and The World, Adults and History"; on the other side of the wall, there is a couplet of Confucius's portrait and Teacher Yu's own book "Learning the Mysteries of Summer and Seeking the True Text of the World".

Yu Zheng, who grew up studying with Wang Guowei, Kang Youwei, Zheng Xiaoxu and other famous teachers such as Wang Guowei, Kang Youwei, and Zheng Xiaoxu, went to Taiwan in 1947 to establish a mountain agricultural school in Taitung, restore the legacy of Hu Shi's father Hu Tiehua as The Governor of Taitung, and co-organize the first democratic election in Taitung. On January 23, 1954, Chiang Kai-shek was recalled to Taipei on the grounds that "there is nothing less to leave Taipei", first taught foreign students to read ancient books, taught Professor Wei Feide of the University of California, Berkeley, and others; from 1958 onwards, he began to accept local students and taught Yang Chuanguang, the silver medalist of the Olympic decathlon. In 1967, he was invited to serve as the head of the Philosophy Department of the Chinese Cultural Institute, and since then he has taught in colleges and universities such as Chengchi University, Fu Jen, and Ming Chuan. In 1971, Yu Zheng broke through the prohibition of private lectures of the White Terror, first created the "Tiande House" in his own home in Taipei Chenggong New Village (Chenggong Guozhai Community), and later moved many times, in 1978 he bought his own house on Wenzhou Street to have a fixed house, in 1987 he changed his name to "Fengyuan Academy", and did not quit lecturing until he was 103 years old, with many disciples who loved Chinese culture, such as Wen Shiren, former president of Yingyeda Group, Jiang Bingkun, chairman of the Former Straits Exchange Foundation, Xin Yiyun, professor of Taipei University of the Arts, Jiang Xun, writer, and Jiang Yihua, former "executive dean" , Wu Rongbin, chairman of Hengyao Industry, etc.

Invited Johns Hopkins University professors were invited to fengyuan college for classes

Xu Hong said that in his later years, Yu Zheng had two wishes, one was to rebuild the ancestral mausoleum of the ancestors before the Qing Dynasty Nurhaci on changbai mountain, the birthplace of the Manchus, the "Qing Yong Mausoleum", and the other was that among the 13 emperors of the Qing Dynasty, only Fu Yi was not buried in the imperial tomb, so he hoped that the new imperial tomb would reburiage Fu Yi.

Xu Hong pointed out that after the three links between the two sides of the strait, Yu Zheng returned to his hometown of Xinbin in Weiyang, and after returning to Taiwan, he donated money and raised funds to build the "Qing Yong Mausoleum" in Xinbin and built the Manxue Research Institute.

Fengyuan College adheres to the main points of Mr. Yu's lectures: "To learn the mysteries of Xia, to find the true text of the world" and "to interpret the scriptures according to the scriptures", emphasizing that reading is to increase wisdom and to learn and apply them. In addition to Xu Hong, Huang Guangguo, honorary professor of the Department of Psychology of National Taiwan University, Qian Zhirong, professor of Johns Hopkins University and former vice president of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Wang Rongzu, director of the Humanities Center of Central University, Pan Chaoyang, dean of the East Asian Institute of Normal University and international college of overseas Chinese education, Liu Junzu, president of the I Ching Society, and Lin Mingjin, teacher of Jianguo Middle School, have all given classes or lectures.

On March 20 this year, the College held the "Third Summer Studies International Academic Research Conference and the Tenth Anniversary Of Teacher Yu's Death"; it also often cooperated with academic institutions and media such as the Fengyuan Society of National Taiwan University and the International and Social Sciences College of Normal University to hold speeches, forums and discussions, and Jiang Yihua served as a lecturer; in addition, the College also established the Fengyuan Publishing House to sort out and publish all the lecture notes and videos of Mr. Yu Zheng. The College relies on tuition fees and donations from members and outside worlds to maintain its normal operations. (End)
