Overview of Jiangxi
Bailudong Academy

Jiangxi is a place of outstanding people and rich culture, with a profound history of valuing education and learning.

The Bailudong Academy, regarded as the foremost of China's four great ancient academies, has impacted on generations with its ethos of ‘Scholarship and Perseverance’.

The porcelain artistry of Jingdezhen, refined over a millennium of kiln fires, once served as a bridge for cultural exchange between East and West along the Maritime Silk Road.

Meanwhile, the wisdom of Taoist philosophy, ‘Let it be’, embodied by the Longhu Mountain and its principle of following the laws of nature, has imbued this land with a unique spiritual character.

These cultural legacies form the deep-rooted foundation for Jiangxi's educational development.
