Yuelu Academy is famous all over the world.

Yuelu Academy, which conveys the context, is admirable.

Zhuge Changqing studied the traditional Chinese culture and believed that Yuelu Academy's layout, location selection, faculty allocation, teaching mode, and ambition set an example for academies across China and became a model for ancient and modern academies.

Where is Yuelu Academy?

Yuelu Academy is located at the foot of Yuelu Mountain on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River in Hunan Province, Changsha City, a famous historical and cultural city in China.

Yuelu Mountain, located in Yuelu District, Changsha City, Hunan Province, is the tail peak of 72 peaks of Hengshan Mountain in the south, with an altitude of 300.8 meters.

Zhuge Changqing believes that anyone who has visited Changsha, Hunan, will visit the Millennium Academy - "Yuelu Academy".

So what does the word "Yuelu" in Yuelu Academy mean?

Zhuge Changqing believes that:

Yue=a tall mountain. For example, the Five Mountains are the five mountains representing China. The "Yuelu" and "Yuelu" here are the guide Yueheng Mountain.

Lulu=a beautiful forest land suitable for deer living at the foot of the mountain. Generally speaking, the environment is beautiful, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, deer and cranes are in the same group, and vegetation is luxuriant. Here, Yuelu Academy is described as an elegant landscape and beautiful environment.

Academies=ancient Chinese educational institutions. Most of them refer to academies run by the people supported by the court.

The Yuelu Mountain is connected to the beautiful forest at the foot of Mount Hengshan in the south.

Yuelu Mountain has a unique geographical location. Its mountain range belongs to Nanyue Hengshan. The ancients listed Yuelu Mountain as the last peak of the seventy-two peaks of Nanyue, called Linglu Peak. It is 102 kilometers away from Zhurong Peak, the main peak of Hengshan Mountain in the south.

In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liu Song Dynasty, the "Records of the Southern Mountains" recorded that "the southern mountains are eight hundred miles away, with the geese as the head and the foothills as the feet." So it was named Yuelu. According to geological research, Yuelu Mountain was founded in the Paleozoic, formed in the Mesozoic and developed in the Cenozoic, more than 300 million years ago.

There are 977 plant species in Yuelu Mountain, including many ancient and famous trees, such as Luohanpine in the Jin Dynasty, Ginkgo biloba in the Tang Dynasty, Cinnamomum camphora in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and Maple in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are 15 key cultural relics under protection at or above the provincial level in Yuelu Mountain.

The top of the mountain is the Yunlu Taoist Palace.

In 2012, Yuelu Mountain · Juzizhou Tourist Area, Changsha City, Hunan Province, to which Yuelu Mountain belongs, was awarded the National AAAAA Tourist Attraction.

Speaking of academies, Zhuge Changqing believed that academies were the place to transmit Chinese culture.

Yuelu Academy is such a treasure of wisdom.

The academy first appeared in the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Lizheng Academy in Ziwei City, Luoyang, the eastern capital.

The formal education system was founded by Zhu Xi and developed in the Song Dynasty. At that time, wealthy businessmen and scholars raised money by themselves to build school houses in remote areas of mountains and forests, or rent school fields to fill the funds.

In the Song Dynasty, famous academies included Yingtian Academy in Shangqiu, Henan Province, Yuelu Academy in Changsha, Hunan Province, Bailudong Academy in Lushan, Jiangxi Province, and Songyang Academy in Taishi Mountain, Dengfeng, Henan Province. Shigu Academy at Shigu Mountain in Hengyang, Hunan, and Ehu Academy in Shangrao, Jiangxi. Yuexiu Academy was the first academy approved by the Qing government in the 49th year of Kangxi.

岳麓书院，名扬天下，传递文脉，令人敬仰。

……诸葛长青

岳麓书院，名扬天下。

岳麓书院，传递文脉，令人敬仰。

诸葛长青研究国学传统文化认为，岳麓书院的书院布局、位置选择、师资配备、教学模式、志存高远等，为中国各地书院树立了榜样，成为古今书院的样板。

岳麓书院在哪里呢？

岳麓书院，位于中国历史文化名城湖南省、长沙市、湘江西岸的岳麓山脚下。

岳麓山，位于湖南省长沙市岳麓区，是南岳衡山72峰的尾峰，海拔300.8米。

诸葛长青认为，凡是到过湖南长沙的人，都会去看看千年书院——“岳麓书院”。

那么，岳麓书院的“岳麓”，这二字是什么意思呢？

诸葛长青研究认为：

岳=高大的山。譬如五岳，就是代表中国的五大高山。这里的“岳麓”的“岳”，就是指南岳衡山。

麓lù=生长在山脚适合鹿群生活的优美林木地。通俗一点讲，就是环境优美、鸟语花香、鹿鹤同群、草木茂盛。这里形容岳麓书院山水优雅、环境优美。

书院=中国古代教育机构。多指朝廷支持民间办的书院。

岳麓连起来就是：南岳衡山山脚下环境优美的树林地。

岳麓山的地理位置独特，岳麓山其山脉属南岳衡山，古人把岳麓山列为南岳七十二峰的最后一峰，称为灵麓峰，南距衡山山脉主峰祝融峰直线距离102公里。

在南北朝刘宋时《南岳记》载：“南岳周围八百里，回雁为首，岳麓为足。”故名岳麓。据地质学考证，岳麓山奠基于古生代，形成于中生代，发展于新生代，距今三亿余年。

岳麓山共有植物种类977种，古树名木较多，如晋朝罗汉松、唐代银杏、宋元香樟、明清枫栗。岳麓山省级以上重点保护文物有15处。

岳麓山儒释道一体文化圣地：山下是被列为中国古代四大书院之一的岳麓书院；山腰是被誉为“汉魏最初名胜、湖湘第一道场”的古麓山寺，山顶是云麓道宫。

2012年，岳麓山所属的湖南省长沙市岳麓山·橘子洲旅游区被确授予国家AAAAA级旅游景区。

说到书院，诸葛长青认为，书院是传递中华文脉的地方。

岳麓书院就是这样的一个智慧宝地。

书院，最早出现在唐玄宗时期，东都洛阳紫微城的丽正书院。

正式的教育制度则是由朱熹创立，发展于宋代。当时，由富商、学者自行筹款，于山林僻静之处建学舍，或置学田收租，以充经费。

宋代，著名的书院有河南商丘的应天书院、湖南长沙的岳麓书院、江西庐山的白鹿洞书院、河南登封太室山的嵩阳书院。湖南衡阳石鼓山的石鼓书院、江西上饶的鹅湖书院。粤秀书院是康熙四十九年清廷御批的学院首。
