Tianshui Spicy Hotpot Trip∣Tianshui Confucius Temple, Immersed in the Confucian Cultural Heritage of the Ancient City of Tianshui
👍Most Recommended: Tianshui Confucius Temple, also known as Qinzhou Confucius Temple, is adjacent to the Hu Family Ancient Residence and Wenmiao Shopping Mall. It was built during the Yuan Dynasty's Dade period, 181 years earlier than the Tianshui Fuxi Temple, making it one of the oldest existing ancient architectural complexes in Tianshui.
🌟Highlights: Looking inside from the Lingxing Gate of the Confucius Temple, a lifelike stone statue of Confucius stands before the Ji Gate, with his hands clasped and a kind expression, his deep eyes seemingly penetrating over two thousand years of time. 🚩Currently, only the Dacheng Hall and Ji Gate remain of the Qinzhou Confucius Temple, with other buildings reconstructed since 2004. In the entire courtyard, besides the Dacheng Hall and Ji Gate, there are 11 steles (one from the Ming Dynasty and the rest from the Qing Dynasty) placed in the west corridor of the Dacheng Hall, as well as 2 ancient cypresses and 6 ancient locust trees on either side of the main hall. These trees, about 600 years old, are all ancient and famous trees, witnessing the prosperity and decline of the Tianshui Confucius Temple and will also witness its future revival.
✅Must Experience: Due to its small scale, it rarely attracts tourists, making it a leisure spot for local residents.
