The building was set up in the early days of the Feudal Joson Dynasty (1392-1910) as the first institution to teach children of the aristocratic class feudalistic Confucianism. It is written on the ridgepole of the building that it was rebuilt in 1765.

In the front of the building is Myongryun Hall, 15.4 meters wide in facade and 5.6 meters in flank, which has no walls.

At the back of the hall are Tong-mu and So-mu, gabled houses with double eaves built on a terraced ground facing each other. Taesong Hall which stands behind them is also a gabled house with double eaves, measuring 11.15 meters wide in facade and 7.1 meters in flank. Its pillars and roof brackets are exquisitely dovetailed.

Changsong Confucian School has unique features of composition and placement common to such buildings of those days, thus representing the contemporary architecture and management of Confucian schools.
