Jianshui Confucian Temple, Ancient Confucian temple in Jianshui County, China

The temple complex spans across 114 acres and includes 31 distinct buildings arranged in a traditional layout with multiple courtyards and ceremonial halls.

Founded during the Yuan Dynasty in the 13th century, this temple underwent substantial expansions during the Ming and Qing periods to mirror the design of Qufu temple.

The Dacheng Hall preserves six golden tablets featuring imperial inscriptions and maintains a central shrine dedicated to honoring Confucian teachings and traditions.

Visitors can explore the temple grounds daily, with guided tours available that explain the significance of the 22 ornate screen doors from the Ming Dynasty.

The temple features China's largest green lotus pool, known as PanChi Pool or Xuehai, which serves as a centerpiece of the architectural ensemble.
