Introduction to Transcendental Academy: It was originally the "Transcendental Terrace" where Laozi preached. In the 30th year of Jiajing reign of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty (1551), Yang Jisheng was demoted to Di Daodian Shi. In order to educate people and benefit future generations, he built an academy here. Following the name of "Transcendence", 3 auditoriums, 5 lecture halls, 5 Taoist temples were renovated, and 2,000 acres of academic land were set up to support students' tuition fees. During the school's running, in order to make up for the lack of funds for the normal operation of the academy, he resolutely sold his horse and his wife's jewelry and combined his salary and money to be used by the academy. This gradually made the academy famous, not only attracting a large number of literati and scholars to give lectures here, but also It also enabled Han and Hui Tibetan students to receive systematic Confucian education here, producing a large number of outstanding talents. In 2005, the Lintao County Party Committee and County Government renovated Chaoran Academy and gave it a brand new look.
