The main hall of the academy has three rooms, five rooms in the East andfive rooms in the West. The whole building is grand in scale, magnificent inbuildings and elegant in environment. "There is a hall for speakers, a place forrecreation, a room for food, and a net for nothing. It's really a good place tostudy. The gate of the academy is a white marble with the four characters"Dongshan academy" written by Huang Ziyuan, a calligrapher of the currentDynasty. On the wall of the left corridor of the main hall is a record ofDongshan academy written by Chen Wucui, a county magistrate.
After the completion of the Academy, classes began on November 15 of thatyear. Dongshan jingshe was renamed Dongshan Academy. In July 1905, Li gentlemenWang Gang, Yang Bingqian and Peng mengri initiated the transformation ofDongshan academy into a public Dongshan primary school in Xiangxiang county. InJanuary 1905, they began to recruit students for three years (two years after1921). From then on to 1940, there were 45 classes with more than 20__graduates. In the beginning, it was changed from the eighth class to the digitalclass.
Dongshan primary school has a school motto and a school song. The schoolmotto says: "honesty, diligence and Thrift", and the black gold plaque is hungin the main hall. On both sides of the column, there is a couplet: "when thepublic is finished, they will govern privately, and when the teacher is strict,they will respect the way.". The curriculum setting, teaching management andteaching methods of primary schools are carried out in accordance with theprinciples and requirements of modern schools. At that time, the coursesincluded self-cultivation, Chinese, history, geography, mathematics, physics,chemistry, English, sports, pictures, music, etc. The teaching method emphasizesthe combination of leading and subject, teaching and learning, theory andpractice, so as to make it lively.
Dongshan high school has an excellent teaching team and a group of teacherswith progressive ideas and unique insight, such as Li Yuanfu, Gong Yipeng, XiaoYueying and Shen Chunlong. Gong Yipeng is strict in school management anddiligent in teaching. During his tenure as the head of the school, his studentsachieved excellent results, and he was awarded by the Secretary of HunanProvince. Li Yuanfu was enthusiastic about the cause of education, activelyadvocated new learning, and had a good eye for pearl. When Mao Zedong came tothe school to apply for the examination, after reading his examinationcomposition entitled "Yan Zhi", Li immediately praised him highly, thought thathe was "a material to save the country", and accepted him out of the ordinary.Later, he supported him to apply for the secondary school in Changsha. XiaoYueying was poor all her life, indifferent to fame and wealth, and lovededucation. He and his sons Xiao San and Xiao Zisheng gave Mao Zedong greatsupport and help. In order to carry forward his interest in education, hisdescendants donated his little legacy to Dongshan school and set up the "XiaoYueying scholarship". Shen Chunnong participated in the democratic revolution inhis early years, joined the party in 1925, joined the peasant movement duringthe great revolution, and finally died generously. In addition, there are manywell-known and unknown progressive teachers. For example, in 1930, martyr YangZailin was killed by Kuomintang reactionaries on the Bank of Lianshui River. Thenext day, a teacher of Dongshan primary school wrote a poem and angrilydenounced that the storm of Longcheng was cold in Lianshui, and the blood of thestrong men spilled on the beach. He became a hero in eighteen, and looked at thegreen mountains on the Zhenxiang stage. "
