The Donglin Academy ( Chinese : 東林書院 ; pinyin : Dōnglín Shūyuàn ; lit. 'Eastern Grove Academy', Wade–Giles Tung-lin ), also known as the Guishan Academy (龜山書院 Guīshān Shūyuàn ), was a former Chinese educational institution in Wuxi , China . It was originally built in 1111 during the Northern Song dynasty ; the neo-Confucian scholar Yang Shi ( 楊時 ) taught there, but the academy later fell into disuse and disrepair. The name "Donglin" was inspired by the Donglin Temple at the base of Mount Lu , Jiujiang . Yang Shi visited the Donglin Temple and felt that it was a good place for teaching. When he finished his scholarship, he travelled to Wuxi and saw that the layout of the academy was similar to the Donglin Temple, so he taught at that site for 18 years. The academy was thus called "Donglin Academy".
