Confucian Temple

Datong, a net red city, is now almost crowded in many attractions in the ancient city, but the Confucian Temple in the southeast corner of the ancient city, but few people come. There are really many things to see here. Highlights 1: Five Dragon Wall You may know the Kowloon Wall in the ancient city. Or the Wulongbi in front of Shanhua Temple, in fact, there is also a Wulongbi left by the Qing Dynasty on the west side of the Confucian Temple. 2: Every Confucian Temple in Dacheng Palace has its own Dacheng Palace, and this Dacheng Palace is the original building of the Ming Dynasty, built on the platform, sitting north and south in a convex shape, with five broad faces. Go deep into three. The lower part of the front of the horizontal arch was cut into a bevel, the corner arch was complicated, and the column net arrangement was a column reduction method, which greatly increased the activity space in the front of the temple. My favorite is the stone railings around the platform. There is Xuanwu rock carving in the middle of the railing, whether it is a character or an animal. They are very vivid 🌟 Highlights 3: The Confucian Temple structure now basically reflects the rules of the Confucian Temple. Even the Krypton Gate has built two 🌟 Highlights 4: Although the Confucian Temple is not open to the outside world at night, the night view around the Confucian Temple has now become a cultural street. Very good-looking, it is worth to see the last thing to remind, this Confucian Temple can be called Datongfu Confucian Temple, because there is also a county Confucian Temple in Datong County, don't be confused

＂ Datongfu Confucian Temple ＂; also known as: Confucius Temple, abbreviated: Confucius Temple, is a place where ancient literati Moshi sacrifices to worship ＂ Dacheng to the Holy First Master ＂ Confucius, located in Fuxuemen Street, Pingcheng District, Datong City. According to the "Wei Shu Shizu Ji" record: In February, the Shizu Shiguang three years (426), ＂ Taixue in the east of the city, ~ Confucius, with Yan Yuan ＂. It is known that the earliest Confucian Temple in Chinese history, the origin of Chinese government learning began in Yuanwei Pingcheng (now Datong), and the inheritance of Datongfu Confucian Temple was the first in the world. ＂ Datongfu Confucian Temple ＂ was built in Minghongwu eight years (1375), and after the construction of the emperors, a large-scale building complex was formed. The layout of the temple is divided into: one is the Confucian Temple, Dacheng Palace, Zunjing Pavilion, etc., the second is the lecture place, and the third is the educational institution of the government.

This is the ancient Datongfu Confucian Temple (there is also a county Confucian Temple). The Dacheng Palace was built in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the rest were modern restorations. However, the scale is large and the scenery is quiet. According to the cloud, it is the largest Confucian Temple in the Northwest region. It is also free to visit. It is worth a visit.

Datong City Fuwen Temple, located in the southeast of Datong Ancient City District, Fuxuemen Street, Minghongwu 29 years (1396 AD) was converted from the original Yunzhongxue to Datong Fuxue. Xuande orthodox years have been renewed. The 12 years of Jiajing (1533 AD), destroyed in the fire, repaired in 16 years, and added in the years of Wanli and the apocalypse. After more than 200 years, a large-scale complex was formed. Until the end of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the people flourished without mourning. After many buildings were in disrepair, only five large halls were left, 30.5 meters, three deep ones, 18.5 meters, single-echelle mountain top, covered with yellow glazed tiles, platform railing stone carvings to promote the story of ritual and filial piety, and the structure was intact. Repaired in 2008. The main buildings are the Krypton Gate, Yimen, Anal Gate, Dacheng Palace, Zunjing Pavilion, Stele Pavilion, Corner Building, etc., and the hall on both sides has opened six exhibition halls of Confucius Thoughts and Life and History, which are key cultural relics protection units in Shanxi Province. Free visit. There is also a Wulongbi.

In addition to the sacrifice of Confucius and Meng Confucianism, many Confucian Temples have been the place of government learning since ancient times, but the Confucian Temple of Datongfu is regarded as a high school classroom. It is really rare that many tourists may not know. It was once transformed into the sixth middle school of Datong City. Later, it was probably for tourism revitalization. The school was moved away, the teaching building was demolished, and the Confucian Temple was rebuilt. Anyway, there was no less tossing... Although many buildings inside belonged to the later antique reconstruction, at least the most important Dacheng Temple was still a few remaining monuments, and there was still something left on the original site.
