Ehu Academy, Yanshan, Jiangxi 江西铅山鹅湖书院
The Ehu Academy lies at the northern foot of Mount Ehu in Yanshan County, Jiangxi. In the Southern Song, Zhu Xi debated philosophy here at the Ehu Temple with the brothers Lu Jiuling and Lu Jiuyuan, a meeting remembered as the Goose Lake Debate; the academy was later built in its memory and became a famous place in the history of Chinese thought. The surviving buildings are mostly Qing; ringed by green hills, the memorial arch, the semicircular pool and the lecture halls follow one another along the axis.
