Rixin Elementary School

Rixin Elementary was founded in 1917, during the Japanese colonial era, under the name "大稻埕第二公學校" (Dadaocheng No. 2 Public School); it was renamed 日新公學校 (Rixin Public School) in 1922, became 臺北市日新國民學校 in 1945, and 臺北市大同區日新國民小學 in 1946. The school's name "日新" is drawn from the Book of Documents (尚書·湯之盤銘): "苟日新，日日新，又日新" — "renew yourself daily." Its iconic red-brick heritage building, known as the "紅樓" (Red Building), was completed and put into use in 1920, filled in from what had been rice paddies and ponds. The school was originally boys-only, beginning to admit girls in 1934, though initially in separate classes.

日新國小創校於1917年（大正6年）日治時期，初名「大稻埕第二公學校」，1922年更名「日新公學校」，1945年改稱「臺北市日新國民學校」，1946年再改為「臺北市大同區日新國民小學」。校名「日新」取自《尚書・湯之盤銘》「苟日新，日日新，又日新」之語。學校著名的紅磚校舍「紅樓」於1920年完工啟用，其地原為稻田與池塘所填築。學校初期僅招收男學生，1934年起開始招收女學生，惟初期採男女分班上課。
