In the Great Zhou Country, besides the Observatory, a few other institutions stood on equal footing, one of which was the Academy.
The Academy was a vital hub for the Great Zhou Country, gathering its most talented young scholars.
Every year, the Observatory held examinations, and so did the Scholars.
The path of the Scholar was a special one, based on the written word, capable of shaking the world with one's name.
The members of the Academy were masters of literature and philosophy, presiding over all the Scholars of the world.
Many Scholars had two aspirations. The first was to enter the service of the Great Zhou Country and maintain peace in a region.
The second was to enter the Academy and become one of its disciples.
At times, Scholars even coveted a place in the Academy more than a position as a local official.
