In the mid-Ming Dynasty, academies prevailed in all counties, and the trend of "freely giving lectures, discussing state affairs and judging officials" was all the rage, which had a great influence on the social atmosphere and official system at that time. In this regard, court dignitaries and local officials are deeply jealous. Shortly after the reign of Emperor Wanli, he adopted the suggestion of Prime Minister Zhang at that time to "destroy the academies in the world". The Hefen Academy in Taiyuan was not spared, and finally it was abolished and closed in the seventh year of Wanli (1579). It was not until the 21st year of Wanli (1593) that Wei, as the governor of Shaanxi, built another "Lisan Academy" in the name of "Lisan Temple" and moved to Yousuo Street (now around Old Town Street). In the 11th year of Yongzheng (A.D. 1733), the provincial capitals were ordered to set up academies, and a total of silver 1000 was allocated as the founding funds. At this time, Li San Academy was officially renamed as Jinyang Academy, which was run by local officials and became the highest institution of learning in Shanxi Province founded by the state. Its former site was in the courtyard of Taiyuan Public Security Bureau. In the 13th year of Qianlong (1748), Wei Tai, the governor of Shanxi, expanded the academy. In the 18th year of Qianlong (1753), the new governor Hu Bao (Quan Wang) bought a new lecture hall and library in the open space east of the Academy (now taiyuan normal College), and built a new home for the governor who died in the Ming Dynasty before the sacrifice. In the twenty-ninth year of Qianlong (1764), the governor rebuilt more than 40 societies, as well as Kuixing Building and Dazhai Wall, and Jinyang Academy reached its peak. From the 18th year of Shunzhi to the 27th year of Guangxu (1661~1901), Jinyang Academy has been located in Houjia Lane for 240 years. school
