This research employs qualitative research methods, including document analysis and field data collection through surveys, interviews, observations, group discussions, and workshops. Analysis is conducted based on information provided by 40 participants, and the results are presented in a descriptive analytical manner in line with the research objectives. The research findings are as follows: (i) Songyang Academy was an important inheritor of Songshan culture, with a history dating back to the Northern Wei Dynasty and flourishing for many eras. It was one of the four major institutions in ancient China that taught people about educational philosophy. (ii) In terms of general educational philosophy, people need to study humanities and culture. China has been developing a modern education system, but it is necessary to apply traditional ethics to develop human character.
