The academy buildings mainly carried out higher education in the salt-producing towns of Huainan in the Qing Dynasty, with the goal of cultivating imperial examination talents. Therefore, the number of academies buildings was less than that of community schools. Although the academy had a certain scale in the early Qing Dynasty, it only flourished in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. According to documentary records, there were Xixi Academy and Taidong Academy in Dongtai, and Nansha Academy in Bingcha, in the early Qing Dynasty. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, in addition to the above three academies, the Academy in Fengli Town, Wenzheng Academy in Shigang Town, Academy in Lusi Town, Jingjin Academy in Yuxi Town, and Dongjian Academy in Yudong Town, Shouzheng Academy in Jiaoxie Town, Zhengxin Academy in Caoyan Town, Chongwen Academy in Wuyou Town, and Zilang Academy in Tongzhou were added. Although the number is still less than community school, its development process is more stable than that of the community school. After its completion, although there have been changes, it has rarely been abolished. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, many academies in the salt settlement of Huainan were still in use, and new academies appeared constantly.
