Daguan Academy

An epitaph of the Great Concept of Freedom during the Tongzhi era: Cheng Zi said that governing the world is based on the use of righteous customs and virtue. Yu Yufei is not necessarily the same as the capital

The historical site of the Confucius Temple and the kindergarten are very special.

The teacher and the staff are very nice Until now, there is still a field for educational purposes, which has continued the benefits and mission of the building itself compared to ordinary monuments. It’s a great place.

Daguan Publishing House, also known as Daguan Yixue, is located next to the Lin Family Garden. It was built in 1873 and is listed as a national third-class monument. Daguan School is located on the north side of the Linjia Garden. It was built in the 12th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1873) and has a history of more than a hundred years. Daguan Yixue was set up to eliminate Zhangquan weapon fighting. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, the residents of Zhang and Quan who were reclaiming here fought fiercely. In order to resolve the feud between the two residents, Lin Yuanyuan, a prominent family who came to Taiwan from Zhangzhou, married the people of Quanzhou. (Later renamed Daguan Yixue), taking in the people of the two places to study essays, the violence is no longer there, and Daguan Yixue has also opened up the local literary style and has become increasingly prosperous. Yixue is both a school and a temple. Its main hall is dedicated to Emperor Wenchang, and the book boy and sword boy on both sides are antiquities from the beginning of the temple. It should be the oldest statue of a god in New Taipei City. It is still the place where Confucian worship ceremonies are held in New Taipei City, and every test season, students always come to worship and pray for the test room to be proud of. It is not only a school but also a temple. The main hall is dedicated to Emperor Wenchang, and the book boy and sword boy on both sides are the oldest statues of gods in New Taipei City. The front seat is dedicated to Confucius. The wishes of candidates are plastered. The right wall of the Yixue's "Daiguan Yixue Stele" tells that the Banqiao Lin family donated money to build a bookstore to defuse the hostility after the "Zhangquan Weapon Fighting", to educate the children of Zhangquan to write literature, to promote ethnic integration, and to promote the style of writing in Banqiao. Today, it is still used for educational purposes, and the wing rooms on both sides have been converted into "Daguan Kindergarten" to cultivate the future masters of the country.

Wenchang Temple Hey, children who want to take exams can also come here to seek fame.

After listening to the guide of Linjia Garden, I went to the Daguanshushe, which has a Confucius statue in the middle of the alley. I glimpse the ancient view of the ancients and the ancient people’s righteousness, and visit the Wenchang Emperor by the way.

When I came to the Daguan Yixue next to the Lin Family Garden, I was surprised that Banqiao had such an ancient building in addition to the Lin Family Garden. It is no wonder that it was designated as a third-class monument. The name "Daguan" comes from the two mountains, Datun and Guanyin, which can be seen before the school. It is named after the two mountains, so it is called "Daguan". It is said that Zhangzhou people lived near Datun Mountain at that time, while Quanzhou people lived near Guanyin Mountain. "Daguan" also has a harmonious meaning symbolizing "Zhangquan family." The main building of Yixue is a traditional Zhangzhou-style building with "two entrances and two dragons". It faces south and faces north. On the central axis of the building, the order is: foyer, inner ridge and lecture hall foyer. On both sides of the main building, there are water corridors and The left and right wing rooms are connected. The entrance hall of the building is three compartments wide and four pillars deep. The second entrance hall is now dedicated to Confucius and Emperor Wenchang. On the whole, the style of this building is very traditional and simple, with dovetail ridges on the roof, Yixue number plates on the gates, and meticulous woodcut patterns on both sides of the door panels, making it elegant and solemn. It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou people in Banqiao (actually common in Taiwan) often fought for land or water. In order to promote harmony, Zhangzhou leader Lin Weirang married his sister to Quanzhou Juren Zhuang Zheng in the traditional way of marriage, and founded the "Daguan Academy" in the second year of Tongzhi (1863), let Zhuang Zheng chair and recruit Zhang Zhang. To promote harmony in the two places. Later, due to the addition of houses, the name was changed to "Daguan Yixue", and the "Daguan Book Society" was held. It was like today's book club, gathering articles by Zhangquan scholars every month, adding more stories. The bookstore combined with free school, let the style of Banqiao open. Daiguan Yi School was transformed into "Fangqiao Public School" during the Japanese Occupation, which is today the school building of Banqiao Elementary School. Later, the school was relocated, and in the second year of Showa (1927), the Itabashi Lin family established the "Private Itabashi Kindergarten" at Daguan Yixue. The school was abandoned after the Second World War. In the forty-ninth year of the Republic of China (1960), the mayor of Banqiao, Yang Shuisheng, couldn't bear the decline of justice school. He specially established the "Daguan Bookstore Management Committee". Later, the Confucian Temple in Dalongdong was divided to Daguan Yixue. In 1967 (1967), Daguan Kindergarten reopened in the left and right wing of the free school, and "the integration of temple and school" was the characteristic of this place. When I came to Yixue, I instantly returned to the time and space of a hundred years ago, and saw the well-preserved ancient temples in front of me. The predecessors took great pains for the harmony of the ethnic group, which is worthy of our current example.

Daguan Yixue is next door to the Linbenyuan Garden. The central buildings are the Confucius Temple and Wenchang Temple, where Confucius and Wenchang Emperor are worshipped. The scale of the temple's buildings is small. The building was rebuilt in 1995 and there is no trace of primitive history. The overall decoration has not been carefully crafted. There are few worshippers and the incense is deserted. The buildings on both sides are kindergartens. The door was deeply locked, and I looked at the front door of the temple. I registered to visit because I was curious. I saw the stone tablet beside the guardhouse, and I knew the origin of Daguan Yixue. Zhangquan fought with arms in 1859, and reconciled the following year. Lin Weiyuan, a native of Zhangzhou, married his younger sister to Zhuang Zhengju, a native of Quanzhou, in order to resolve the dispute. Later, Zhuang Zheng proposed that Xu Shifang donate land and Lin Weiyuan contributed the money. In 1863, the Daguan Academy (Daguan Book Society) was established to facilitate the exchange of scholars from Zhangquan, and later changed to Daguan Yixue. It was a place for enlightenment and education. The wind is prosperous, and the customs are changed. Banqiao Kindergarten was established in 1928. In 1967, it was renamed Daguan Kindergarten and operated by Daguan Publishing House.
