There is today plenty of physical evidence testifying to those 200 years of uninterrupted vitality for Confucian education. Virtually all of the inscriptions that marked important educational institutions in Taiwan reflect the spirit of Zhu Xi. Take for example the engraving in stone done on commission by Cai Shiyuan for the construction of a school in Zhuluo County (modern Chiayi).
陳昭瑛指出，朱子學在台灣歷二百多年不衰，其間凡有重大教育建設，幾乎都勒碑刻石，碑文中反映的都是朱子精神。
