Temple of Southern Confucianism

The Temple of Southern Confucianism spans 16,000 square meters and contains 460 rooms arranged in a traditional Chinese architectural layout with multiple courtyards.

The temple traces its origins to the Han Dynasty period when emperors initiated the practice of offering sacrifices to honor Confucian teachings and values.

The temple maintains stone tablets and inscriptions that document the progression of Confucian philosophy and educational practices through different periods of Chinese history.

The temple complex opens to visitors who can explore the halls, examine the architectural elements, and participate in ceremonies held on September 28.

The temple features yellow roof tiles, traditionally reserved for imperial structures, and red-painted walls that reflect its designation as a national cultural heritage site.
