Originally, it was built to worship the Star of Wisdom. But now it is mainly built in honor of great people who made great contribution. This one was built in memory of those who made great contributions to Leiyang Academy—the predecessor of our university.The couplets carved on it embrace 2 meanings—firstly, as teachers, we should respect the sages and follow their examples. Famous French writer Rousseau once said, “Without a good example to follow, he will never be a good teacher to be followed.” The second meaning is that a teacher should be strict with himself and require himself to make progress every day. This is in accord with French writer Romain Rolland’s well-known saying—“Just like a sun, before we shed light to others, we have to enable us to shine.”The second place I want to introduce is a stone carving Be Xi Stele. On the stele carved an article which is about the development of Leiyang Academy in detail. Have you ever seen such a strange-looking animal? Neither have I. This turtle-like animal is called Bi Xi and only exists in myths and legends. It is the eldest son of the Dragon King. Bi Xi loves learning and is a creature of unusual strength. So it always carries a stone stele which can help it learn more. In China, dragons are mascots. If you touch its head, good luck will come to you. Come on, give it a try. Behind this stele, there is a model of an official seal of ancient Leiyang Academy with sixteen ancient Chinese characters on it. From the right to the left, they are: “书院精神、高山仰止、百年师范、人文昌明”. What the sixteen Chinese characters carry is to stick to rigorous scholarship, to be morally upright and to continue cultivating normal education.This wall was built to commemorate three great ex-headmasters: 陈乔森, 陈瑸 and 陈昌齐.They were all standouts in Qing Dynasty.

In this difficult time, the emperor appointed 陈瑸 to run the affairs of Taiwan. On arriving Taiwan, he devoted himself to local economic development, social stability and education.These three headmasters devoted their life to the development of education. Their great deed will be kept on this wall and be publicized forever.日晷sundialThe sundial was invented by the ancient Chinese. Briefly speaking, it’s a clock.
