History

The tutorial academy was built in 1815 during the Qing Dynasty rule of Taiwan by Hsiadanshui County Deputy Governor Wu Hsing-chung and scholar Guo Tsui Lin Meng in order to revive local scholastic conducts. In 1895, the tutorial academy was transformed into a Confucius Temple. However, lack of funding to repair the building led to the abandonment of the building. During the Japanese rule of Taiwan in 1937, the Japanese government planned to relocate the temple. However, due to scholars effort in calling out for historical preservation, the academy was relocated to its current site on Shengli Road. In 1977, a well-known architect directed its repair and restoration works.[2]

Architecture

The building consists of 36 dormitory rooms with its lecture hall situated at the front hall.[3]

Transportation

The building is accessible within walking distance north of Pingtung Station of Taiwan Railways Administration.

gollark: If I want to give someone access to some software, I can do MANY things:- give them the binary, which they can run locally but not edit very easily- give them a really obfuscated binary, which would be even harder to edit- give them source code, which is fairly easy to edit (or a somewhat obfuscated form, or without documentation or whatever, but same sort of idea)- not actually give them it at all, and just give them a webservice or something they can use remotely
gollark: Partly, but there's a more significant issue which I am typing.
gollark: What do you mean "the software itself"?
gollark: Originally Bill Gates, apparently now the meaning of culling and also of words.
gollark: If you accept this then any action which reduces future human population in some way is "culling", which is stupid.
