Song Lin Academy (松林书院) was established in the period of the Renzong in Beisong Dynasty. At that time, it was called “Pinon Academy”. After the reign of Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, the name was changed to the “Song Lin Academy”. It became a part of Qing Zhou No. 1 High School in 1986. The Song Lin Academy is an historical building. During the Song Dynasty, Renzong presented “The Four Books and Five Classics" to Qingzhou to study Confucianism in order to develop a talent for government. Since the Xianzong period in the Ming dynasty, Song Lin Academy was used to memory the 13 famous magistrates, including Fan Zhongyan.

Some pictures of Qing Zhou’s mayor are exhibited in the south hall and some of the president of Qingzhou No. 1 High School are exhibited in the north hall.
