Confucius Temple

The Confucius Temple in Qufu was built in 478 BC. It is a large-scale temple dedicated to Confucius. It was rebuilt on the site of Confucius' former residence. It is the largest existing ancient building complex in China after the Forbidden City. It is a model of large-scale temple architecture in ancient China and one of the three largest ancient building complexes in China. The number of Han steles preserved here is the largest in the country, and there are also many precious steles from past dynasties. The number of steles is second only to the Forest of Steles in Xi'an, and it is known as the second forest of steles in my country. When you come to the Three Confucius Temples, remember to hire a tour guide or rent an interpreter, so that you will not come in vain and do not rush through the sights.

The Confucius Temple is one of the three Kongs. It was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and covers a large area. The Confucius Temple has cultural relics and stone tablets from various dynasties that offered sacrifices to Confucius. It is best to find a tour guide to introduce it, otherwise you will not understand many details. The Confucius Temple has a ceremony to open and close the city every morning and evening. If you go early and leave late, you may encounter it. It is said that there are many cases of tourists being cheated near the three Kongs. It is best to choose the route, transportation, food and accommodation in advance to avoid being cheated.

In addition to China, there are more than 2,000 Confucius Temples in Japan, North Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the United States. I have visited many Confucius Temples in various places, and finally came to the ancestor of many Confucius Temples to worship. The Confucius Temple in Qufu is the largest ancient building complex besides the Forbidden City. It has more than 100 halls, which is rare. The magnificent halls are breathtaking. Among them, the Dacheng Hall is the most magnificent and is one of the largest ancient buildings in China. It is comparable to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City. The golden plaque of "Dacheng Hall" was written by Emperor Yongzheng. The ten relief dragon pillars under the front eaves are exquisitely carved and magnificent, and are priceless artistic treasures.

The Temple of Confucius, the Confucius Mansion and the Confucius Cemetery are collectively known as the "Three Confucius Temples" and are a national 5A-level scenic spot.

Confucius Mansion--"The First Family in the World"

Confucius Cemetery - the largest man-made cemetery

Regarding tickets: it is more economical to buy a three-hole combined ticket for 130 yuan, and you can get a lower price online. The ticket is valid for seven days, but you can only enter each attraction once.

We rented an electronic guide and listened to the tour at the same time. Although it was not as vivid as the human explanation, it was much better to listen to it than to just watch it. When it comes to cultural and historical landscapes, it is still necessary to focus on three parts seeing and seven parts listening.

The Confucius Temple is a temple for worshipping Confucius, a thinker, politician and educator in the Spring and Autumn Period, in successive feudal dynasties of my country. It is located in the center of Qufu City. It is a group of ancient buildings with oriental architectural features, large scale and majestic momentum. There are nine courtyards in the temple, with the north-south axis as the central axis, divided into three roads: left, middle and right. It is 630 meters long and 140 meters wide, with more than 460 halls, halls, altars and pavilions.

The Qufu Confucius Temple, also known as the "Queli Temple of the Sage", is located 300 meters west of the Drum Tower in the center of Qufu City. It is a temple dedicated to Confucius, a famous ancient Chinese thinker and educator. It was first built in the 17th year of Duke Ai of Lu (478 BC) and has been expanded and renovated over the dynasties. The Qufu Confucius Temple is based on Confucius' former residence and is dedicated to Confucius every year.



The temple has grown in size and has become the largest Confucian temple in China. Most of the existing buildings were completed during the Ming and Qing dynasties, covering an area of 327 mu, with nine courtyards in front and back.

The Confucius Temple is a temple where successive feudal dynasties in my country worshipped Confucius, a thinker, politician, and educator in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is located in the center of Qufu City. It is a group of ancient buildings with oriental architectural features, large scale, and majestic momentum.

Students all over the world should go and pay homage to Confucius.

The tickets are a bit expensive, and many of the inscriptions with artistic value cannot be viewed up close, which is a pity.

The Confucius Temple may be the most worthwhile place to visit in the Three Confucius Scenic Area. It has been built in every dynasty and has the most attractions.

The core scenic area of the Three Confucius Temples in Qufu, with ancient trees and cypresses.

Individual travel is not recommended, it is more interesting to find a local guide to explain

The Dacheng Hall is one of the three major halls in China and is well worth a visit. It is said that the tree was planted by Confucius himself.

The most important Confucius Temple in China, built in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, mainly in the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a large overall layout, high architectural standards and exquisite decorations. If you don't visit other Confucian temples, you must visit this Confucius Temple. There are many tourists.

The ticket is 80 yuan, which is quite expensive. The main purpose is to see the history. The Temple of Confucius, Qufu, located 300 meters west of the Drum Tower in the center of Qufu City, is a temple dedicated to Confucius, a famous ancient Chinese thinker and educator. It was first built in the 17th year of Duke Ai of Lu (478 BC), and has been expanded and repaired over the generations. Together with the adjacent Confucius Mansion and the Confucius Forest in the north of the city, it is collectively known as the "Three Confucius Temples". It is a group of ancient buildings with oriental architectural features, large scale and majestic momentum.

Intrigue

The only place I still remember among the Three Kongs is the "Intrigue" in the Confucius Temple. The guide who looked like a country girl said that you should take a photo here, otherwise your trip would be in vain. She was right. Many years later, I looked through the photos taken at that time, and it seemed that this was the only photo that could represent the trip to Qufu. "Intrigue" comes from the term "awesome" in architecture. I failed the handicraft class when I was a child. I think the most awesome and unfortunate people in Chinese history are the construction craftsmen. They left behind so many immortal works, but their names were never recorded in the works and history books. The injustice of the previous life and the imagination of the later life, so now Chinese people like to carve their names on ancient monuments when they travel, so now girls must leave their surnames on the property certificate when they get married.

Confucius traveled around the world. When I traveled around the country, I often met these craftsmen in scenic spots. Some of them repaired the plank road, some carved the beams, some painted cinnabar, and some pasted yellow. Every time I saw them smoking to relieve fatigue, I always felt that they deserved a pack of red Zhonghua. Everyone is talking about the craftsmanship of Japan, but I want to say that the source of the craftsmanship is in China. The intrigue has never stopped among these migrant workers who only have junior high school education and work hard.

As for the resulting intrigues, they have never ceased in the academic world where many people have PhDs and many publications.

Recommendation index: five stars

There are several doors outside the Confucius Temple. You have to walk through these doors to get inside. There are many stone tablets inside. I don't know calligraphy, so I can only take a quick look. But standing in this magnificent ancient building complex, closing my eyes, it seems that I can travel back thousands of years, blend into a group of students, and secretly listen to Confucius' lectures.

This kind of magnificent cultural architecture is always inseparable from the presence of pine and cypress. There are numerous pine and cypress trees in the square after the gate of the Confucius Temple. These pine and cypress trees have a history of hundreds of years, and some are even thousands of years old.

As a descendant of Confucius, I have always wanted to come and see it. It really feels very familiar. Spend more time in the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion, and you can visit them in detail. It is best to do your homework and check the allusions of each attraction. I only went to Confucius' tomb in the Konglin. Overall, it is still worth a visit.

The ancient and majestic historical buildings are surrounded by towering ancient trees and green shade. It is a temple but not a temple. In Han culture, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are perfectly integrated and developed independently without major conflicts.

This is the headquarters of Confucianism, the place where Confucianists want to find their roots. Don't burn incense or pray here, don't recite the Heart Sutra, just recite the Analects silently. Let Confucius verify how many of these famous sayings he still remembers.

There are too many cultural relics and historical sites in the Confucius Temple, so it is not suitable to just rush through them. You can spend a good afternoon by walking around slowly, watching and savoring them carefully.

The Confucius Temple is an ancient building complex full of cultural heritage. If you don't do your homework, even if you hire a tour guide, you will only have a cursory look and will not gain much.

But we did a lot of preparation before going there. We looked up information about couplets, door plaques, carvings, etc., took photos carefully, and wrote a travel note as soon as we came back. However, the travel note is too long and contains too many historical allusions. I guess not many people will be able to read it patiently. But at least it puts a perfect end to the homework we have done during this period.

The Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion and Confucius Cemetery are collectively known as the Three Confucius Scenic Areas. They are located in the center of Qufu city. Apart from the Shangri-La Hotel, there are almost no high-rise buildings nearby. However, there are many low-rise buildings in antique style. The whole city looks very ancient.

After passing through the ticket gate of Confucius Temple, you need to cross two bridges (Panshui Bridge and Bishui Bridge), three rows of squares (Jinsheng Yuzhen Square, Taihe Yuanqi Square, Zhisheng Temple Square), and four gates (Lingxing Gate, Shengshi Gate, Hongdao Gate, Dazhong Gate) to officially enter the Confucius Temple.

Cypress trees are planted everywhere in the temple, and pigeons flock inside. After passing Tongwen Gate, you will reach Kuiwen Pavilion, and then the Thirteen Stele Pavilions, most of which are announcements of posthumous titles bestowed on Confucius by emperors of various dynasties. After Dacheng Gate, you will reach Xingtan and the world-famous Dacheng Hall. To the east of Dacheng Gate is Jinsheng Gate, and to the west is Yuzhen Gate. Dacheng Hall is a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship, which is breathtaking and the largest Confucius worship site in China. The exquisite design of the door and window grilles, the brilliant plaques "unprecedented", "civilized here", "teacher of all ages", etc., it is said that the Olympic torch was handed over at the door of Dacheng Hall. Finally, there are the sleeping hall and the Holy Relics Hall. The roof of the Confucius Temple basically has five mythical beasts + a dragon as guardians.

The 90 yuan ticket is not worth it at all. I think it is worth twenty yuan at most.

(The picture was taken casually, I hope more people can see this bad review.)

Except for a few decent buildings and steles, the whole garden is filled with feudal dregs. Each emperor added drama to his own play. Qianlong had especially many dramas. Even the traditional Chinese character for "棂" had to have the "巫" removed. One can imagine the severity of the literary inquisition at that time.

Tourists who want to know about Confucius must not come to the Confucius Temple. Here you can only see how his thoughts were misinterpreted and used as a puppet to corrupt the people. Confucius himself couldn't be more miserable. Millions of emperors rebuilt the Confucius Temple to show their admiration for the great man, while at the same time they arbitrarily deleted and modified Confucius' thoughts to fool the people. Confucius' coffin lid can't be suppressed. It's worth it to give officials and titles to future generations to show respect for the teacher of all ages and gain a good reputation. The idea of the eldest son is really deeply rooted.

Tourists with children at home can come if they want to be superstitious. After all, getting good luck in exams is a good thing. But I think real scholars should not come to the Confucius Temple. I don't want culture to become a puppet of power.

The most important thing is that without a guide, it is equivalent to coming here in vain. If you don't want to hire a guide, you can just listen to the tour group. Of course, the guide's words may also be a joke... In short, I don't recommend coming to this attraction at all. The whole tour makes you feel uncomfortable with the ideology and culture. The Confucius Temple is a castration of Confucius' thoughts.

The Temple of Confucius, also known as the Temple of the Most Holy One, is the earliest and largest temple dedicated to Confucius in my country. It is one of the three largest ancient architectural complexes in China, along with the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Mountain Resort in Chengde, Hebei. After the death of Confucius, three rooms of his former residence were initially used as a temple, "where Confucius' clothes, hats, musical instruments, carriages, and books were stored". Later, it was continuously renovated and built by successive emperors until it reached its current size.

The Confucius Temple in Qufu was called a "unique example" in the history of world architecture by architect Liang Sicheng. It is now a World Cultural Heritage, a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit of the People's Republic of China, and a national AAAAA-level scenic spot. It is listed as one of the three major ancient architectural complexes in China along with the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Mountain Resort in Chengde.

There is a city gate opening ceremony at 8 o'clock in the morning, which takes about ten minutes. Then we pass through various gates, archways, and stone tablets. We hired a tour guide who explained it very seriously. The explanation fee is 100 yuan each for the Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, and Confucius Forest.

The temple was built by successive emperors to commemorate Confucius. It is recommended to travel in spring and autumn. It is quite hot in summer.

Taiwan is the largest, but if compared with Qufu, it is just average.

Confucius' highest ideal in his later years was called "Datong". In the world of Datong, people in the world not only regard their own family members as relatives, not only love their own parents and children, but also respect and love each other and all people in the world. The elderly have a place to live, the strong have a place to work, children can get warmth and care, the lonely and the disabled have someone to rely on, men have their own things, and women have a satisfactory destination. There is no fraud, no thieves, no picking up lost items on the road, no locking doors at night, everyone is trustworthy and friendly, selects the virtuous and the capable, and the great way is followed, and the world is for the public.

Confucius' ideals of a "Great Harmony" society and a "moderately prosperous" society have had a profound influence on later generations of Chinese people.

It has been nearly 2,500 years since Confucius proposed the "Great Harmony" society, and human society has not yet fully achieved this goal. How long will it take us to realize Confucius' highest ideal?

There are many tourists. The Confucius Temple gathers different buildings from different periods of China, as well as numerous inscriptions and stone carvings. It is really a good place to appreciate calligraphy. Because we called a tour guide and were a bit rushed, we didn't have time to read carefully before entering the Confucius Mansion, which made me feel very sorry.

Generally speaking, the Confucius Temple is the most valuable place to visit. Look at the stone tablets, the carved beams and painted pillars, the verdant cypress trees, marvel at the courtesy of later generations to Confucius, be cultivated in the atmosphere of respecting literature and Confucianism, and increase your knowledge. This is the most moving cultural feature of Qufu. Intrigue is the sublime part of the Confucius Temple architecture.

The temples built to worship Confucius where Confucius and his descendants lived, as well as the Kong Family Ancestral Hall. There are also some Han Dynasty murals, which are rare. Over the past thousand years, it has been offered by the royal family. There are more stone tablets in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Whenever the country was governed by Confucianism, Confucius must be worshipped. There is also the Lu Bi Ruins where the Shangshu was unearthed. The three-hole ticket is 150. The scalpers and the staff have colluded and will ask you to buy 180, including the fare from the Kong Mansion to the Konglin. If you don't buy it, the staff will not sell you the ticket and ask you to queue up again on the other side. The distance of the car ride is very short, because there is a long distance in front of the Konglin that cars are not allowed to enter. This 30 yuan is so unfair. I also hate those criminals who fool tourists for money and profit.

The Confucius Temple is pretty good, followed by the Confucius Mansion. There is nothing to see in the Confucius Forest. If there are too many people, it is better not to take an electric car. Only the Confucius Forest is a little far away, while the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion are very close.

The Confucius Temple is large in scale and majestic in appearance. It is the largest scenic spot among the three Confucius Temples and has the most attractions. The buildings and inscriptions in the Confucius Temple all demonstrate their supreme level. For two thousand years, when Confucianism was deeply rooted, this place was a holy place in the hearts of thousands of scholars.

The three most famous Confucian sites in Qufu are the Confucius Temple, the Confucius Mansion and the Confucius Forest. For such historical and cultural landscapes, it would be better to hire a tour guide to take you on a tour. After all, it is only so-so to see them by yourself. It is still good to listen to the tour guide's historical stories.

The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway has brought me closer to the holy land of my dreams, Qufu. Surrounded by ancient city walls, this is where one of the three major classical architectural complexes in China, the Three Kongs - the Konglin, the Kong Mansion and the Kong Temple, are located.

You won't learn much if you travel by yourself. You can consider hiring a guide for about 20 yuan. In addition, don't buy the scenic area bus ticket. For 5 yuan, you can go from the Confucius Mansion to the Confucius Forest, and visit the three Confucius Temples and the Six Arts City in one day.

The Confucius Temple is a temple building established to commemorate and worship Confucius, a great thinker and educator in my country. In some places, it is also called the Temple of Confucius, Confucius Temple, the Temple of the Most Holy, the Temple of the First Teacher, the Temple of the First Saint, the Temple of King Wenxuan, etc. Historically, there were more than 2,000 Confucius Temples across the country, and there are still hundreds of them well preserved. Among them, the Confucius Temple in Qufu is the earliest, largest and highest-level Confucius Temple in China. It was built in 478 BC, the second year after Confucius' death. From the bus station, take bus No. K01 and get off at the Confucius Temple South Gate bus stop. Get off and cross the road and go straight to the Confucius Temple.

Qufu's most famous attraction, a large complex of ancient Chinese buildings, has many visitors during the peak season, but it does not have many special features and the ticket price is relatively high.

A place with a strong historical flavor, including the Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, and Confucius Forest, which is worth experiencing

A check-in point in Qufu, come and pay homage to the temple of the sage Confucius

The Confucius Temple in Qufu is also known as the "Queli Temple of the Sage". Most of the existing buildings were completed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It covers an area of 327 acres and has nine courtyards. There are more than 460 halls, altars, pavilions and gatehouses in the temple. The red walls and corner towers are built in the style of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good! Incomparably beautiful and majestic!

The Confucius Temple is a place where Confucius is enshrined and is a must-visit when visiting Qufu.

It can also be regarded as a landmark of the whole Shandong Province. It covers a large area and has many building complexes. The Dacheng Hall is almost full of various plaques.

The residence of a saint should be a sacred and pure place. Unfortunately, it is overwhelmed by the commercial atmosphere and is consuming the saint.

Recite 30 Analects and explain 5 of them to get free tickets to the Confucius Mansion. It is valid for one year and can be used once. Picture 1 is the Analects recitation hall. I don't know why there are many elementary school students and middle school students. Later, I walked to the Confucius Mansion and there were college students. There are many old trees, so it is more economical to recite the Analects.

Confucius Temple, also known as Confucius Temple, is a temple building commemorating Confucius, a great Chinese thinker and educator. It can be found all over China. In the successive dynasties, it was also called Wenmiao, Confucius Temple, Zhisheng Temple, Xianshi Temple, Xiansheng Temple, Wenxuanwang Temple, especially Wenmiao. Among them, Nanjing Confucius Temple, Qufu Confucius Temple, Beijing Confucius Temple and Jilin Confucian Temple are collectively known as the four major Confucian temples in China.

One of the three Confucius Temples in Qufu, it has a strong historical and cultural atmosphere.

The Three Confucian Temples in Qufu are my favorite attractions in Shandong Province, especially the Confucius Temple. In fact, the entire city of Qufu exudes a strong sense of antiquity. Living outside the city wall and beside the moat, the crisp willow trees are very peaceful. When entering the Confucius Temple, the huge gardens and ancient trees are everywhere. I especially like the apricot altar built on the dragon vein. At that time, the apricot trees happened to be sprouting, which was a very beautiful feeling.

I studied in Qufu, so I knew that if you memorize the Analects, you can get free tickets. So I memorized 50 Analects and the meaning of each one. If you memorize them within a certain period of time, the invigilator will pick out 5 of them and explain their meanings. If you succeed, you can get free tickets (*^▽^*). But I didn't go to the Confucius Forest among the three Confucius Temples~

The Confucius Temple is a temple dedicated to Confucius. As soon as you enter the door, you can see many ancient archways, as well as many stone tablets and stone carvings inside, which are very impressive.

(There is a direct tourist bus here. There are long queues during peak season, but it is still relatively convenient and worth a ride).

The building is magnificent, distinctive and has a lot of heritage, and many people come here.

The architecture of the Confucius Temple is very well restored, magnificent and gives people the feeling of a small Forbidden City. Listening to the tour guide, you can feel the charm of historical and cultural tourism. When you come to Qufu, the Confucius Temple is definitely not to be missed.

Suitable for travelers who like Chinese classical literature, but it will be interesting only if you listen to the tour guide's introduction.

Because it was raining heavily and I won't come again, I started to visit the three holes at 3:30 pm and walked through them at 5:30 pm. It was a real sightseeing tour. If you have enough time, you can walk slowly and listen to the guide. The deposit for the guide is 100 yuan and the rental fee is 30 yuan.

The Confucius Temple is located in the south gate of Qufu City, Shandong Province. It is a temple dedicated to Confucius. It is based on Confucius' former residence. From Duke Ai of Lu to Emperor Yongzheng, successive emperors have continuously conferred titles on Confucius and expanded the temple, which has become the current scale. The Confucius Temple is one of the three major ancient architectural complexes in China (the other two are the Forbidden City and Chengde Mountain Resort). The Confucius Temple in Qufu, the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, the Confucius Temple in Beijing and the Confucian Temple in Jilin are collectively known as the four major Confucian temples in China, but in fact only the Confucius Temple in Qufu is directly related to Confucius himself, and the other temples were built for commemoration.

It is the original temple dedicated to Confucius. It is located in Qufu, Shandong Province, the hometown of Confucius, and is also known as the "Queli Temple of the Sage".

The Confucius Temple is the most worthwhile place to visit among the three Confucian Temples. It is quite large and has nice scenery inside.

I came here for the second time. This time I mainly brought my children to learn more about it, so I hired a tour guide. The Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion are 180 in total. The tour guide was pretty good. He patiently answered many questions I asked. However, there are many people in the peak season, and there are many tour guides. You should be able to listen to it for free. I would like to remind teachers: you can get in for free with a teacher's certificate!!! It's rare that a teacher's certificate is worth money, but I didn't bring it with me! It's 150 yuan! Or you can recite 30 Analects of Confucius. Children under 1.4 meters are free, and 1.4 to 1.6 meters are half price. This height seems to have increased.

I always thought that cultural attractions were boring and similar, but it is said that the Confucius Temple is the second largest ancient building complex after the Forbidden City. I was on a business trip in Ningyang near Qufu, so I thought I would just walk around. I didn't expect to spend an entire afternoon there. The buildings are really exquisite and magnificent. I didn't have time to go to the Confucius Mansion, Confucius Forest and Six Arts City, but I will make up for it when I have the chance.

May 20, 2014. This time, we booked a three-day pure travel tour to Qufu and Mount Tai on Spring Journey. It is a traditional and classic tour route. Mountain climbing, water viewing and visiting saints are the main themes of Shandong travel. We took the high-speed rail from Shanghai to Qufu for more than 3 hours. We arrived there at noon. We were received by the local guide Tai'an Kanghui. There were 28 people in our group. Some members also booked from Ctrip. All of them were friends from all over the country. The tour guide took us to have lunch first. Then we took the battery car to visit the Confucius Temple first.



The Confucius Temple is located in the South Gate of Qufu City, Shandong Province. It is the first temple dedicated to Confucius. It was first built in 478 BC. It was built in the former residence of Confucius and in the style of an imperial palace. It is one of the three major ancient architectural complexes in my country and occupies an important position in the history of world architecture. The Confucius Temple is 630 meters long and 140 meters wide. It is known as the "No. 1 Temple in the World" and is the temple dedicated to Confucius in the ancient Chinese dynasties.

There is actually no need to say much about the Confucius Temple. It is a time-tested tourist attraction with both a profound history and practical significance.

The Three Confucian Temples are a sacred place for Confucianism. I thought this kind of place would be boring, but I really gained a lot when I went there. The first choice of the Three Confucian Temples is the Confucius Temple, which is worthy of being one of the three ancient architectural complexes in China (the other two are the Forbidden City and the Mountain Resort).

The first Confucian temple in the East, it was extensively rebuilt during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Although it has been destroyed, it is still good to see the ruins.

It is a must-see attraction in Qufu, and it is quite good.

The hall of sages, the holy temple of Confucian culture, the root of Chinese culture, you must go and see it!

The Confucian Temple is rectangular in plan, covering an area of 140,000 square meters and 0.7 kilometers long from north to south. The entire Confucian Temple complex is symmetrical and has a strict layout with a central axis running through it. There are nine courtyards in total, with Lingxing Gate, Shengshi Gate, Hongdao Gate, Dazhong Gate, Tongwen Gate, Kuiwen Pavilion, and Thirteen Imperial Stele Pavilions in front. Starting from the Dasheng Gate, the buildings are divided into three routes: the middle route is Dacheng Gate, Xingtan, Dacheng Hall, Sleeping Hall, Shengji Hall and two wings, which are places for worshipping Confucius and ancient Confucian scholars and sages; the east route is Chongsheng Gate, Shili Hall, Gujing, Lubi, Chongsheng Ci, Family Temple, etc., which are mostly places for worshipping Confucius' ancestors of five generations; the west route is Qisheng Gate, Jinsi Hall, Qisheng King Hall, Sleeping Hall and other buildings, which are places for worshipping Confucius' parents.



When you enter the Confucius Temple, many tour guides will ask you if you want to hire a tour guide. We didn't because we did a lot of preparation before going. There are only a few attractions, and most of the tours there are group tours. There will be a tour guide holding a microphone and talking, and we can listen all the way along the way. It's enough.

The most interesting scenic spot among the Three Confucius Temples. Located in the south gate of Qufu City, Shandong Province, it is the first temple dedicated to Confucius. It was first built in 478 BC. It was built with the former residence of Confucius as the temple and the specifications of the imperial palace. It is one of the three major ancient architectural complexes in my country and occupies an important position in the history of world architecture. The Confucius Temple in Qufu is the original temple dedicated to Confucius. It is the precedent and model of more than 2,000 Confucius Temples distributed in China, North Korea, Japan, Vietnam and other countries. The opening ceremony at 8 o'clock is worth seeing. In addition, there is the Confucius sacrifice performance~ The cultural atmosphere of the Confucius Temple is really strong. If you don't understand it or see it, it will be very embarrassing. There are also intrigues, which are also very interesting, but you need to return by the same route after visiting.

The Temple of Confucius is a temple that was built by successive feudal dynasties in my country to worship Confucius, a thinker, politician, and educator during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is known as one of the four major Confucian temples in China, along with the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, the Confucius Temple in Beijing, and the Confucian Temple in Jilin. It was first built in the 17th year of Duke Ai of Lu (478 BC), and has been expanded and renovated over the dynasties. Together with the adjacent Confucius Mansion and the Confucius Forest in the north of the city, it is known as the "Three Confucius Temples".

The Confucius Temple in Qufu is the first stop of the cultural tour and the most attractive scenic spot. The vending machines in the scenic spot are very convenient and drinking water is not expensive. Because it is a cultural scenic spot, there are many unscrupulous guides, so it is recommended to do your homework in advance.

Confucius Mansion is one of the three largest mansions in China. I learned that the main architect of Confucius Mansion was Yan Song in addition to Li Dongyang in the Ming Dynasty. The pavilions, towers and back gardens are really exquisite and beautiful. There are two wonders in the back garden, one is the five cypresses and the other is the murals.

A great sage, it is worth seeing. It is best to have a guide with you so that you can have a good time.

Most places in the country are called Confucian Temples, except the one in Qufu, which is called Confucius Temple. The second only to Qufu is the one in Nanjing, which is called Confucius Temple.

Confucius's cultural heritage has always been closely connected with Nanjing.

I personally think that the Confucius Temple is the essence of the Three Confucius Temples in Qufu. The ancient buildings from different periods, the vicissitudes of ancient trees, the solemnity, the carved dragon pillars, and the main hall all reveal the majesty of this place.

The Confucius Temple is really nice, especially if you have the opportunity to watch the Confucius Memorial Ceremony and experience the true Confucian culture and the country of etiquette.
