Fengyi Academy Introduction
Fengyi Academy, located next to Chenghuang Temple, was built in 1814 and was designated as a Level 3 historic site in 1985. It was constructed by Zhang Tingqin, a candidate for the position of a teaching instructor in Fengshan, and originally comprised 37 rooms. The academy initially housed deities such as Wenchang, Kuichang, and Cang Sheng, along with desks and chairs, serving as a place for scholars to study and take exams in ancient times. The architectural details are exquisite, and it is the largest existing academy in Taiwan. The wall in front of the main hall and the stone drums on both sides of the main entrance reflect the careful consideration that went into the original architectural design of Fengyi Academy. After renovations planned in 2009, the campus added many Q-version statues and established two exhibition spaces to provide detailed introductions to the academy's history and cultural artifacts, combining education with entertainment.
