Abstract
In recent years, cultural tourism has gained increasing popularity. The integration of culture and tourism has become a significant topic for in-depth study, research, and practice by local governments and universities. Wuhan, Hubei Province, with Jingchu culture as its mainstay, is strategically located as a thoroughfare connecting nine provinces, embracing all directions, and integrating diverse cultures. It combines historical culture and natural scenery, making it a concentration area for historical and cultural tourism resources since ancient times. Wenjin Academy, also known as Xinzhou Confucius Temple, located in Jiujie Street, Xinzhou District, Wuhan City, is the only "academy" in China named after an allusion from The Analects of Confucius. From the perspective of cultural-tourism integration, how we can adopt a combination of "dynamic" and "static" approaches, starting with Wenjin Academy to bring historical and cultural resources to life, is a topic that urgently requires consideration, resolution, and innovation.
