Yuelu Academy was formally set up in the ninth year of the Kai Bao Reign of the Northern Song Dynasty (976). Yuelu Academy was named after Yuelu Mountain in Hunan Province. Surviving the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it was converted into Hunan Institute of Higher Learning in 1903, and Hunan Normal College, Hunan Public Polytechnic School in succession, and was finally named Hunan University in 1926. The Academy has witnessed a history of more than one thousand years without a break, so it is called a “one-thousand-year-old academy”. Ever since the founding, Yuelu Academy boasted of a large gathering of great and talented people, which had a far-reaching impact on Chinese history. The historical transformation from Yuelu Academy to Hunan University is an epitome of the development of China’s higher education, which mirrors the vicissitudes of China’s education system.
  The People’s Bank of China will issue a set of One-thousand-year-old academy, Yuelu Academy Gold and Silver Commemorative Coins on Apr. 18th, 2006. This set of Gold and Silver Commemorative Coins consists of 2 coins, including 1 gold coin, 1 silver coin.
