Chongqing is one of the renowned cultural centers in southwest China during the Song Dynasty. Feng Shixing and the Jinyun Academy that he founded on Jinyun Mountain became intellectual representative of eastern Sichuan. This paper reviews the history of Feng Shixing's studies, sorts through existing scholarly research achievements, and considers that the current studies mainly focus on his literary achievements and the opinions about him on his political stance of resisting surrender to uphold the Song Dynasty. Regardless of his status as a leading figure of Yijing (Classics of Changes) studies in Chongqing, Feng Shixing's great contributions to studies on the Yijing have been overlooked. His engagement with Buddhist and Taoist thoughts also lacks systematic examination. Feng Shixing was profoundly influenced by Buddhist and Taoist philosophies throughout his life. To a certain extent, his otherworldly mindset is the reason why he resided peacefully on Jinyun Mountain. Inspired by Master Taixu's establishment of the Sino-Tibetan Buddhist Institute on Jinyun Mountain during the Anti-Japanese War, the paper finally proposes that it could be a timely initiative to cultivate a new era with distinctive cultural innovation, to revive the Jinyun Academy by integrating global cultural traditions into Jinyun culture.
