Chóng'ān

Chóng’ān lies near the Wǔyí Mountains in northern Fújiàn. Its Confucian temple was founded in 1095, and the scholar Zhū Xī, who lived for many years among the nearby mountains, visited it and wrote about the county school. The temple and the mountain academies reflect the importance of learning in this corner of the Sòng realm.
