Yangcong Xueyuan / 洋葱学园

Yangcong Xueyuan is the K12 education-technology company discussed in 167: 洋葱学园杨临风：用AI制造捷径，是在杀死真学习. Yang Lingfeng / 杨凌峰 describes it less as a tutoring or answer-delivery company than as a learning company organized around Self-Directed Learning.

The company began from rural education pilots and then chose a company form because high-quality animated lessons, learning design, AI support, teacher service, and long-term product iteration required stable cross-disciplinary teams. The source says Yangcong has around 130 million registered K12 students and 4 million registered teachers, and that qualifying rural schools and teachers can use its resources free of charge.

Yangcong’s product route is Learning Experience Design: short lessons, animation, knowledge maps, context-aware AI support, achievement loops, and data iteration aim to help ordinary students move through difficult concepts without simply receiving answers. The company’s AI stance is cautious: AI can become a planner, strategy distributor, and stuck-point support tool, but it should avoid AI Shortcut Risk.
