Introduction to Kuixing Building: Built in the 18th year of Qianlong's reign, it is the main building in the academy. It is a two-story building with a brick and wood structure with national characteristics and is still well preserved. The first floor is the "lecture hall", which contains a couplet "The old trees and the flowers are tender, and the branches are also blooming in spring", which is a poem recited by Xie Bao, the headmaster of the academy. There is a plaque hanging in the middle of the middle beam on the second floor, with the word "Jinshi" written on it, which is as big as a bucket. This was given by the imperial court after Zhang Rimin, a top student of the academy, became a Jinshi. Inside is the headmaster's bedroom on one side, the study on the other side, and the headmaster's living room in the middle. The entire building is decorated with carved beams and paintings, and there are trees in front of the building.
