贵州教育史上的一朵奇葩——花溪青岩书院及其学子

A Beautiful Flower in the History of Guizhou Education:Qingyan Academy at Huaxi and Its Students

清代后期贵州教育迅猛发展。时任贵州的地方官员认为,贵州政治、经济、教育、文化的落后,主要原因在于文教不兴,应该采取措施教化当地民众。清政府多次议准在贵州少数民族聚居区设置官学、社学、义学、私塾、书院等以发展教育。道光时期花溪青岩书院以民间捐资义学的特点而成立,书院倡导教学相长、扬其所长的学风,奉行儒家的教育思想,让书院的人才辈出,闻名于世。

The education in Guizhou developed quickly in the second half of the Qing dynasty. According to the officials in Guizhou at that time, the backwardness in politics, economy, education and culture in Guizhou results mainly from the underdevelopment of education. Therefore, appropriate measures should be taken to educate the local people. In order to develop education, the Qing government suggested that official schools, country schools, free schools, private schools and academy be supplied in the areas inhabited by ethnic minorities. In the regime of Emperor Daoguang, Qingyan Academy at Huaxi was set up in the form of free school and was financially supported by the public. The Academy advocated the principles that teaching was learning and would develop good points. It pursued the Confucian educational philosophy. Men of talent came out in succession from Qingyan Academy, which made it worldly known.
