Academy Answers | How an ancient academy meets modern needs
How can an ancient academy meet modern needs? In 2025, the centuries-old Yuzhang Academy was reborn in Nanchang, east China's Jiangxi Province, not as a museum or hotel, but as a real library for genuine reading. Wang Yangming, a Chinese philosopher and educator of Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), once lectured here on "the unity of knowledge and action." His question "How do I calm my heart?" transcends cultures, and his answer continues to inspire us today.
