Born at the Changli Temple, 1898.
Neipu Elementary was established in October 1898 as a language-instruction hall at the site of the Changli Temple, becoming Neipu Public School that same November — reputedly the oldest school in the greater Pingtung/Liudui region. The school moved to a new campus site in 1925 and has been renamed several times through Taiwan's changing eras, taking its current name in 1968. Today it is the largest school in the Liudui region, with roughly 650 students across 26 classes on a 4.86-hectare campus, and is officially designated a Hakka Language Living School, actively promoting Hakka-language instruction.
內埔國小創立於1898年（明治31年）10月，最初於昌黎祠原址設立語言傳習所，同年11月更名為內埔公學校——堪稱大屏東六堆地區歷史最悠久的學校。1925年（大正14年）遷至新校地並興建新校舍，歷經數次更名，於1968年（民國57年）定名為內埔國民小學。學校現為六堆地區規模最大的學校，約有650名學生、26個班級，校地面積達4.86公頃，並獲官方指定為「客語生活學校」，積極推廣客語教學。

誕生於昌黎祠
The school originated at the Changli Temple, the region's foremost Qing-era center of Hakka scholarship — a direct link between the school and the area's centuries-old academic tradition.
Where "diligent farming, studious reading" began.
Neipu is the "Hou Dui" (後堆, Rear Pile) of the Liudui Hakka confederation — a historically Hakka settlement prizing "diligent farming, studious reading" (勤耕雨讀). Neipu Elementary itself originated at the Changli Temple, the region's foremost Qing-era center of Hakka scholarship, dedicated to Han Yu and credited with producing many imperial-exam graduates from the six-pile area. The school's continued role as a Hakka Language Living School keeps that heritage alive for a new generation. See the Pingtung county page for more on the region.
