Fuzhou Confucius Temple, Confucius temple in Gulou District, Fuzhou, China

The temple spans 4,000 square meters of buildings and includes the Gate, ceremonial Pond, Dacheng Hall, and decorative Zhaobi screen wall.

Originally constructed in 773 by Tang Empire official Li Yi, the current structure dates from 1851 during the Qing Dynasty reign of Emperor Xianfeng.

The Dacheng Hall displays imperial plaques from five Qing Dynasty emperors, including Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiajing, and Daoguang on its architrave.

Yellow glazed tiles cover the double-eave gable and hip roofs of Dacheng Hall, marking its high architectural status in Chinese building traditions.
