刘锦棠倡修东山书院并置相关碑刻考

Liu Jintang’s Proposal for Constructing Dongshan Academy and Setting up Relevant Stele Inscriptions

湖南省湘乡东山书院为刘锦棠等晚清湘军将领为主捐资兴建,所置相关碑刻高度肯定东山书院建筑风水与自然环境风水的完美融合,并为书院教育"乘变革风气之先,开湖南教育先河"和赓续经世致用的湖湘文化传统提供了有力佐证。

Dongshan Academy of Xiangxiang, Hunan Province was built by the donated money from Liu Jintang and other Hunan generals of the late Qing Dynasty. The relevant inscriptions highly affirmed the perfect integration of Dongshan Academy’s architectural style and natural environment. The inscriptions provide a strong evidence for Dongshan Academy’s innovation on education and the innovative application on reality of Hunan culture tradition.
