Wǔníng

Wuning lies on the Xiu River in the hills of northwestern Jiangxi. West of the county town, Liushan Academy stood where the Tang official Liu Hun had once withdrawn to read. Founded under the Southern Song, it was destroyed in the wars at the end of the Yuan and rebuilt in the Ming. Another academy was established east of the river during the Wanli reign, with a lecture hall and student rooms; after flooding submerged its site, it was moved to the western gate.
