The Wenshi academy in Penghu is the only one of its sort that dates back to the late Qing period. It was founded by Hu Jianwei, built in 1776 and derives its name from the colorful stones on the island. The five different colors of the stones correspond to the five threads of heaven, the five forces of earth and the five constants of the human realm. The academy existed for a hundred thirty years and had a great inf1uence on Penghu island. Correspondingly, five teachings are taught in the academy with their focus on education and moral transformation. Five eminent Song time scholars form the basis of the teaching, the contents of which can still be seen in "the Ten Teaching Principles" by Hu Jianwei and the "Eight Added Teaching Principles" by Lin Hao.
