The Yuelu Academy, nestled on the scenic east side of Yuelu Mountain in Changsha, Hunan, China, is a historical bastion of classical learning. Established during the Northern Song Dynasty in 976 AD, it has been a center for Confucian studies and academic pursuits for over a millennium. The academy's transformation into Hunan University in 1926 marked a new era in its storied legacy, continuing to honor its tradition of scholarship and cultural significance.
