Yuelu Academy, located at the foot of Yuelu Mountain on the west bank of Xiangjiang River, is one of the four major academies in China history. Yuelu Academy was founded in the ninth year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 976), with a history of 1000 years. After the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was changed to Hunan Higher School in the 29th year of Guangxu in the late Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1903), later changed to Hunan Higher Normal School and Hunan Industrial College, and was officially named Hunan University in 1926. After thousands of years, there are endless string songs, so it is also known as the "Millennium University". "Only Chu is talented and prospers in Si" is a supplementary couplet: the first couplet comes from Zuo Zhuan's Twenty-six Years of Xianggong: "Jin Qing is not as good as Chu, and his doctor is wise and talented. Such as Qizi and Ge, from Chu to also. Although Chu has material, Jin is practical. "
The latter sentence evolved into the idiom "Brave with Gold", which is still in use today. Taber, the second book of The Analects of Confucius, said: "When Tang Yu was in danger, he was prosperous in Sri Lanka." There is also an allusion to "Chu materials were used in the Jin Dynasty". It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Ju, a doctor of the State of Chu, fled to the State of Jin because of Zhang Yue's crimes. He met Dr. Cai's phonon and promised to help him return to Chu. Then he went to Chu to discuss with Ling the talent problems in Chu and Jin, saying that it was very unfavorable for Chu people to go to Jin and get reused. Zi Mu thinks this is reasonable,
Go to the state of Jin and take back the martial arts. At first glance, it will make people feel uncomfortable, that is, the Chu people (the ancient Hunan belongs to Chu) are too arrogant. When this couplet comes out, it gives people the impression that Hunan and Chu are talented and there are no heroes elsewhere. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of "only Chu has talent and prospers in Sri Lanka".
