After the founding of New China, Guanshan Academy was once the teaching office of Guanshan Junior Middle School and Shanghua Middle School. In the early 1980s, Shang Hua Middle School was relocated, and Guanshan Academy was once abandoned. In the late 1990s, Guanshan Academy was rebuilt under the auspices of Chenghai District Government.

In the lecture hall is a nearly 4-meter-high white marble statue of "Zhu lecture", with a scroll in hand and a crown on his head, with a kind face.
