During the latter period of the Heian period, it was written in "Senju-hiki" (literally, collection of secret records) by FUJIWARA no Tamefusa that a similar movement rose among the students of Myogyodo, which once was the center of Confucian education, and a Buddhist meeting called Chogo-e (an Expanding Lecture) was held at Kiyomizu-dera Temple on the same day with Kangakue.
これに対して平安時代後期には儒教教育の中心であったはずの明経道の学生の間にも同様の動きが発生して、勧学会と同日に清水寺において長講会と呼ばれる法会が開かれるようになったことが藤原為房の『撰集秘記』に書かれている。
