Introduction to the Hall of Holy Relics: The Hall of Holy Relics is a hall named after the stone comic strips of the Holy Relics that record the life events of Confucius. This hall is located behind the dormitory hall and forms a separate courtyard. It is the last ninth courtyard of the Confucius Temple. The palace was built in the 20th year of Wanli reign in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1529) by He Chuguang, the censor. The Confucius Temple originally had woodcut pictures reflecting the deeds of Confucius. He suggested changing them to stone carvings. Yang Zhi would paint and seal them and embed them on the inner walls of the temple. These are the 120 "pictures of sacred traces".
