- Built in 1723, Changhua was originally called Banxian. Three
years after its establishment, county magistrate Zhang Hao
ordered the construction of a Confucian academy to “manifest
elegance.” This academy is today’s Changhua Confucius
Temple, which was the beginning source of Changhua’s
academic atmosphere. Continuing with the trend towards
Confucianism, Changhua’s Confucian academies included
the Zhengyin, Baisha, Dongdao, Wenkai, Luoqing, Zhujing,
Xingxian, and Aowen Academies. Today, only the Dongdao,
Wenkai, and Xingxian Academies remain, all three of which
are registered as historical relics. Besides preserving the
traditional artistic buildings of these academies, in recent
years, the Cultural Affairs Bureau has promoted events for
examinees to come pray for blessings at the academies.
These events have attracted numerous young scholars and
examinees, allowing the academy to show its significance in
today’s culture and education. - According to genre: Historical site
