The Hall of the Heavenly Kings, originally built in the Song Dynasty and renovated during the Ming Dynasty, preserves the architectural style of that era. Admire the graceful flying eaves and upturned corners of its roof, and within, you’ll find displays recounting the tale of how Tang‑dynasty clay statues of arhats were rescued—stories that, even today, stir a profound sense of devotion.

Stepping into the Baosheng Temple Museum of Ancient Artifacts, visitors are greeted by a wall‑mounted sculpture of arhats created by Yang Huizhi, the “Sculpture Sage” of the Tang Dynasty. The figures are exquisitely crafted, vividly rendered, and strikingly lifelike. Students carefully examined the intricate details of the sculptures and listened as their teacher recounted the story of how these Tang‑dynasty arhat statues were rescued, gaining a lively lesson in history and culture.

Strolling through the West Courtyard of Baosheng Temple, the students paused before the bronze statue of the renowned scholar Lu Guimeng at Qingfeng Pavilion, learning about his decision to retire to Luzhi and adopt the self‑styled name “Mr. Fuli,” and savoring the poetic charm and elegant spirit that defined his life.

The thousand-year-old ginkgo tree has once again sprouted tender, verdant leaves. Students gather around the ancient tree, listening to its story and sensing its vibrant vitality. In the courtyard, the jacaranda trees are in full bloom; some students huddle in small groups, sharing their observations, while others explore the stele corridor, savoring the cultural charm of Baosheng Temple.

The Ye Shengtao Memorial Hall was built on the very site of the “No. 5 High School” where Mr. Ye once taught. Stepping into the bright exhibition hall, the students respectfully paid their respects before the bronze bust of Mr. Ye, and through carefully reading the detailed exhibits and viewing his personal relics, they gained a deeper understanding of his life and achievements, while experiencing the noble spirit of this exemplary teacher of his generation.

In the calligraphy and painting hall of the Shen Residence, a special exhibition titled “Ink and Sound: A Poetic Ode to Jiangnan” by the renowned painter Shen Mo is currently on display. Visitors can immerse themselves in the elegant, poetic landscapes of Jiangnan brought to life through the artist’s masterful ink techniques.

The Wang Tao Memorial Hall houses the Wang Tao Life and Achievements Exhibition Room, the Henghua Pavilion, and the Taoyuan Garden. In the exhibition room, a scroll‑style display method gently unfolds the vicissitudes of Wang Tao’s life, allowing visitors to appreciate his patriotic spirit and forward‑looking ideals.

Strolling through the stone‑paved courtyard, one can see traditional tools such as stone mills and water wheels, while the walls of the covered corridor display both the original text of “Three or Five Dou More” and its accompanying comic strips. Here, students read the original work, gaining insight into the scene of rice being sold at market when the new harvest arrived and learning about the historical context, all the while sensing Mr. Ye Shengtao’s deep concern for the common people and society.

These agricultural tools are categorized into seven stages of the farming process: plowing and land preparation, sowing and transplanting, intertilling and weeding, irrigation and water management, harvesting and transportation, threshing and processing, and weighing. Here, visitors can learn about the sequential methods of cultivation and gain an understanding of the operating principles behind tools such as the Jiangdong plow and the waterwheel.

The spring outing to Luzhi leaves visitors wanting more; you can also visit the Luzhi Celebrities Museum to learn about the remarkable lives of Luzhi’s distinguished figures and experience the enduring cultural heritage of Jiangnan.
