Academy is a higher education institution that integrates book collection, teaching and scientific research. The academy system sprouted in the Tang Dynasty, perfected in the Song Dynasty and abolished in the Qing Dynasty. It has a history of more than 1,000 years, and has had an important impact on the education and cultural development of China feudal society.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were more and more academies which mainly gave lectures. With the development of Neo-Confucianism in the Southern Song Dynasty, the academy gradually became a place for school activities. There are four most famous academies in Song Dynasty: Yingtianfu Academy in Shangqiu, Henan, Yuelu Academy in Changsha, Hunan, Bailudong Academy in Lushan, Jiangxi, and Songyang Academy in Dengfeng, Henan.
