Students of the Academy gathered here.
Feng Xiao and Li Guanyi thought the same, but Feng Xiao aimed to reverse the situation with military tactics, while Li Guanyi simply wanted Master Wang Tong to fulfill his desires.
Thousands gathered here to witness this debate on the Tao.
This place couldn’t accommodate so many students, so Su Wang of Confucianism said:
"Tear down the walls."
"When debating the Tao in the Academy among all schools, what’s the need for [walls and doors]?"
And so the students exerted themselves together, tearing down the walls and barriers outside the debating ground of the Academy. They entered the place of debate, respectfully bowing before finding a place to sit cross-legged.
Confucian Master Wang Tong simultaneously faced the various sects and schools of the All Schools.
