Introduction to Confucius Temple Built in 478 BC, it is a huge temple dedicated to Confucius and was rebuilt on the former residence of Confucius. It is a complex of ancient buildings in China, second only to the Forbidden City in scale. It is a model of large-scale temple architecture in ancient China and one of the three major ancient building complexes in China. There are nine courtyards in total, and more than 100 buildings are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the central axis road. After entering the first sign gate "Xingxing Gate", I saw that the door was bottomless. The number of Han steles preserved here is the largest in the country, and there are also many treasures from past dynasties. The number of stone steles is second only to Xi'an Forest of Steles, and it is known as the second forest of steles in China.
