Songyang Academy was founded in the eighth year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 484), when it was a place for Buddhist activities and was named Songyang Temple. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it became a place for Taoist activities, and Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian used it as their palace twice. During the Northern Song Dynasty, it became a famous educational place, where famous Confucian scholars such as Fan Zhongyan, Cheng Yi, Cheng Hao and Sima Guang all gave lectures. Part of Sima Guang's historical masterpiece Zi Zhi Tong Jian was completed in the Academy. These famous Confucian lectures not only made Songyang Academy the first of the four academies in the Northern Song Dynasty, but also made Songyang Academy one of the birthplaces of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty.

The architecture of Songyang Academy was regulated by the Qing Dynasty, and the architecture remained intact, preserving the architectural style of traditional academies. The site selection, layout and form of the building have both the characteristics of public buildings and residential buildings. The existing area of the Academy is over 9,000 square meters, with five courtyards and 106 ancient buildings along the central axis. Many of the existing steles, classic buildings and ancient trees in the academy are fine works of past dynasties, which are closely related to the important activities of many famous historical figures. The academy education system was abolished in the late Qing Dynasty. As the cultural carrier of this vanished system, Songyang Academy plays an important role in studying the ancient academy architecture, education system and Confucian culture in China. As a historical monument, its significance to modern education and culture is also significant and far-reaching.
