The story about Confucius Temple

The story of Confucius Temple-Confucius Temple is located on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, which was built in the third year of Sima Yan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (337). According to Wang Dao's proposition that "training talents is the foundation of governing the country", Imperial College was established on the south bank of Qinhuai River. At that time, there was only Gong Xue, and there was no Confucius Temple.

Confucius Temple was built in the first year of Jingyou (1034) and expanded in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Because it is dedicated to Confucius, it is also called Confucius Temple. The purpose of building the Confucius Temple in front of Gong Xue is to hope that the literati will take the road of sages and receive feudal education.

From the Six Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the prosperous scene and unique features of Shili Qinhuai were eulogized by literati in previous dynasties. Confucius Temple, located on the north bank of Qinhuai River, was originally a place for offering sacrifices to Confucius. It was built in the first year of Song Jingyiu (1034) and expanded from the former site of Gong Xue in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
