Quzhou Confucius Temple Travel Guide

Scenic spot introduction:

Quzhou Confucius Temple is one of the only two Confucius family temples in the country. It is opposite to the "Northern Temple" in Qufu, Shandong, and is known as the "Southern Temple". The temple was first built in 1253 and changed its location several times during the period. It was moved to its current location in 1520 and was called the "Second Holy Land" by Kong. The temple has magnificent temples, towering ancient trees, and the exquisitely crafted ancient buildings are solemn in shape and permeated with a rich Confucian cultural atmosphere. Every September, the Confucius Temple holds a grand "Nanzong Sacrifice" event. Confucian cultural research experts and descendants of Confucius from all over the world gather here to talk about Confucian culture, which is of positive significance for exploring Confucian thought and preserving traditional culture.
