Hangzhou Confucian Temple, Ancient Confucian temple in Hangzhou, China
The temple features a main hall with traditional painted woodwork on the beams, housing stone sutras displaying texts from multiple philosophical traditions.
The temple gained prominence during the Southern Song dynasty when Lin'an, modern-day Hangzhou, became the imperial capital and required a ceremonial Confucian center.
The temple maintains tablets and texts representing Confucian scholars, serving as a center for educational programs focused on traditional Chinese philosophy.
Located at 8 Laodong Road, the temple opens daily and provides guided tours explaining the significance of Confucian teachings and architectural elements.
The temple contains stone inscriptions that combine teachings from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, representing the integration of Chinese philosophical systems.
