History
The school's founder, Template:Interlanguage link (Cantonese: Tang Fu Heep), was a native of Jiangsu province in mainland China. The school was located in the area known today as Kai Kung Leng (Script error: No such module "Lang".) Kam Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong. The academy was well known for its large library of Chinese classics.[1] In imperial times, academies were designed with a strong emphasis on the imperial examination system used to prepare scholar-officials for government work. By the time of the Qing dynasty (1644Template:Ndash1911), the Chinese government in 1662 and 1664 closed down schools as a strategy to counter Ming dynasty (1368Template:Ndash1644) loyalists. The academy was in ruins by the early 19th century.[1]
