Visiting Yanshan School, a modern private school in the dense forest

Yanshan School, formerly known as Nengren Academy, originated from a mother's educational exploration. Many years ago, a mother rode Qinghai, Tibet, Dunhuang and Yandang to satisfy her children's desire for freedom, and built a "love and warmth" school for her children.

This secluded place is in the middle of Yandang Mountain, adjacent to Nengren Ancient Temple. There is a stream in front of the door, and there is a shooting range next to the house with flowers. With the reading of children and the ringing of ancient poems, one after another.

Yandang Mountain is a national 5A-level scenic spot, which is famous for its strange mountains, strange rocks and waterfalls. There is only one road to the school, winding, with lush trees on both sides.

As the mountain road gets narrower and narrower, you must be careful, especially at those corners. Because I can't see the situation ahead, I can only press the horn a few times to inform those returning cars that suddenly appear.

Not too fast. The car kept a distance of about thirty or forty yards, and it took about half an hour to reach Mr. Su Yang's semi-study and sheep shed.

This is a semi-study room. The sheep shed is a courtyard with both study and homestay functions. Most of the books in the study room are provided by Wen Zhong, a teacher who studies Indian culture. I glanced at it roughly, most of them were obscure, and I couldn't help but marvel!

The study can accommodate about 20 people at a time. Yesterday, it happened that a company in the downtown area booked a meeting here! By the way, it will be fun to enjoy the mountains and tread the water!

There is a hibiscus flower in the garden, covered with branches. It's really beautiful. It stands within 2 meters of the entrance, as if it were the gatekeeper of the courtyard here, welcoming visitors from all directions with a smile! The front hall is also filled with half a wall of books, and the case is also filled with books. I ran into Mr. Huang at school, and it was summer vacation, so Mr. Huang had to come here to help!

Five rooms on the first floor, modern and simple Zen layout, so that two children can not help but push the door to find out! These two children like it very much, and they ask us if we can stay here at night! Because B&B has been booked, we must comfort our children to come and stay next time they make an appointment!

Rooms and study rooms are surrounded by empty independent courtyards, where you can enjoy tea in summer, the moon in autumn, snow in winter and flowers in spring. They are all good places!

By the wall are multifunctional glass houses, thatched roofs and glass walls. There are elegant white curtains and tatami mats in it, which are very Japanese. You can do yoga, practice Taekwondo, or make a pot of good tea with three or five friends and enjoy the flowers and snow.

As the hotel has been booked, we can't stay long, so we will leave immediately and continue to go up the mountain to school.

I was full of expectations when I heard from Mr. Huang that there would be summer camp and papermaking experience activities in the afternoon.

Farewell to Mr. Huang, the time is only about 1 in the afternoon, and the paper-making experience in the afternoon will not start until nearly 3 pm.

There are still two hours, enough for us to go to Nengren Temple!

The ancient temple, built on the mountain, is the largest of the 18th ancient temples in Yandang Mountain, covering an area of 25 mu. The buildings are ups and downs, magnificent!

We walked down the steps. At this time, the temple is quiet and quiet, and the lotus in the jar is in full bloom!

Two or three monks and several villagers sat on the covered bridge, enjoying the coolness of summer and chatting their stories!

Seeing that we kindly asked, where did the child come from? My daughter is a little timid and hides behind me. I answered for her, let's come to Yueqing!

Master monk smiled, so you are a child. ...

A joke eased the children's mood, and they followed haha and ran to the big fish, clamoring to touch the big fish and jumping around, trying to catch the big fish hanging in the air with their own little hands!

The monk teacher kindly looked at us around and reminded us, have you eaten? There is a big iron pot in the west. You can eat a little if you don't eat!

The companion replied stupidly, we have already eaten, thank you! hahaha ...

We studied around the iron pot for a long time, but we couldn't see the inscription on it, so we had to give up and rest under the covered bridge where the lotus was in full bloom!

I don't know whether the weather was good yesterday or the temperature in the mountains was already low. I just want to sleep on the bench of the covered bridge. Will there be a new series of serial stories?

It's almost two o'clock. I plan to find Yandang School first. We walked around and found that there was no school outside the wall. Isn't the legendary college just outside the temple wall?

The paths in the mountains are always very quiet. Except for bamboo and reeds all over the mountain, even if there are several farmhouses not far away, there is no one we can ask!

Just when we were at a loss, a young man in a green T-shirt, with a long water pipe in his hand, was walking slowly down the hill and quickly met him.

It's really hard to find a place to get it, and it doesn't take much effort to get it! He used to be a teacher at Yandang School. He followed the teacher and followed the path near the corner of the temple. There were two farmhouses on the road, and then we arrived at the school we wanted to go to!

Only one person can pass in the narrowest part of the path! Moreover, the slope was steep, and my daughter bravely walked down with an umbrella!

I held her hand, but she wouldn't let me go forward. Mom, you go first, so I can roll down! It really is your own!

The teacher is busy preparing for the later papermaking experience, so I can look around!

This is probably an activity room. There is a carved wardrobe with unknown age and a piano on the first floor!

There are two rooms upstairs, one is this study, the other is tatami room, and there are some boxes in the middle!

On the left side of the activity room is a big classroom and a lovely country fireplace! It should be interesting to sing and listen to stories here in winter!

On the right side of the activity should be Mr. Su Yang's office and reception room! There are yellow flowers like butterflies on the table!

Covered with a piece of blue and white linen, the college dog sleeps gently on the table! Everything is extraordinarily quiet! Even the air feels slow!

On the right of the office is a classroom. Although it is short, it has excellent lighting and the roof is transparent everywhere, just like the old house with four eaves that I lost in my childhood memory!

Half an hour before the activity, we hid in this classroom and prepared printing tools with the teacher!

These molds are all carved out of wood, rectangular and square, and they become building blocks in the hands of children!

The classroom is full of children's paintings! These paintings are full of childlike interest and imagination. They are framed and become a master painting!

There is a shooting range on the far right side of the classroom, and flowers are blooming by the window! The children came back like brave knights,

Look at us waiting. Two teachers from Wenzhou Dongshan Academy showed us the process of papermaking in advance in a friendly way! Both Xiong Haizi are eager to put their hands into the pulp …

At three o'clock, Miss Su Yang came with a group of children. ...

Teacher Su Yang is the founder of Yanshan School. I recognized her at first sight when I first met her in reality yesterday, although she didn't introduce herself. Wearing a cotton and linen skirt, she saw us, sang and smiled, nodded and greeted us, and sent two flowers to our two children gently and kindly. She was not angry at our sudden intrusion!

I very much agree with what Su Yang said: Children will encounter many problems when they grow up, and it may be more important to guide them to think about how to solve these problems than knowledge!

On the way of growing up with children, children have taught me a lot! May we walk in this world and don't forget your creativity!
