Introduction to Haihui Courtyard: In Haihui Temple, there is an inconspicuous courtyard. However, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, this was one of the most glorious academies in Yangcheng. Yangcheng was ranked among the three cities in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as famous as Hancheng and Tongcheng. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yangcheng produced more than 120 Jinshi, more than half of whom were concentrated in the villages around Haihui Temple. In ancient times, literati flourished on both sides of the Qin River. A large number of officials represented by Wang Guoguang and Chen Tingjing who came out of here successively served in various places across the country. Their fame affected the scholars around them, and their presence attracted the literati around them. Therefore, it became a gathering center for literati and students. From the Ming to the Qing Dynasty, there were many poetry club activities here. Among them, the most influential ones are "Fan Nan Poetry Society", "Plum Blossom Poetry Society" and "Qiyi Old Man Poetry Society", all of which have left a large number of poems.
