Junxian Yangming Academy

　　    Part of the Lüzu Temple architectural complex, the courtyard features the "Sanfeng’s Pavilion," built by Zhang Sanfeng, one of the founders of Tai Chi in the early Ming Dynasty. In the northwest corner of the courtyard stands a small, exquisite stone archway, intact and undamaged. One side of its horizontal plaque reads "Clarity at This Spot," while the other reads "A Place of Enchantment."

　　    The east gate faces a steep cliff covered in cliff inscriptions, including phrases such as "Returning to a Familiar Place," "Gazing at Bi Ao," and "Thousand-Ren Cliff," all rich in content with bold and graceful calligraphy. Below the cliff lies a rectangular pool that fills with water in summer, clear and mirror-like. It is said, "At the base of the cliff along the pool lies a small spring, though tiny and intermittent, it eventually dried up and ceased to flow." Towering ancient cypresses shade the courtyard, where numerous stone steles of poetry and prose stand, showcasing the distinctive styles of Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Ouyang Xun, and Zhao Mengfu. The northern wall is inlaid with a stone engraving of Liu Dexin’s inscription "Like Yingzhou." The site also preserves stone carvings such as Wang Shouren’s (also known as Yangming) "Great...," "Great...," and a portrait stele of Wang Yangming. Hence, it came to be known as the "Yangming Academy."
