Architectural style of Confucian temple

Zizhong Confucian Temple is famous for its exquisite architecture, coordinated layout, compact structure and perfect protection.

Dacheng Hall, the main building of the center, is famous for its "three wonders" (namely, Confucius statue, Confucius memorial tablet and 10 plaque on the hall). 10 plaque, inscribed by eight emperors and two heads of the national government of the Qing Dynasty, with the middle one inscribed by Emperor Kangxi as "Being a Teacher for All eternity", the lower one inscribed by Yong Zhengdi as "No People's Livelihood" and the third one inscribed by Emperor Qianlong as "Towering Land". The rest were inscribed by Emperor Jiaqing, written by Daoguang, written by Emperor Xianfeng, written by Emperor Tongzhi and written by Emperor Guangxu. Lin Sen, chairman of the National Government, wrote "Virtue and Heaven" and Jiang Zhongzheng, chairman of the National Government, wrote "Ancient and Modern Daoism".

The most fascinating thing for old scholars in Zizhong Confucian Temple is to look at the wall. Zizhong Zhaobi, built in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, is19.5m long and 6m high. There are seven circular hollowed-out carving patterns in the wall, with a diameter of 1.7 meters. This wall sculpture is not only a rare artistic masterpiece in loong's decorative wall photos, but also has distinctive local characteristics. The contents of the pattern are "Water Palace Dragon Symbol", "Pavilion Tower Garden", "Eagle Xiang Yu Yue", "Dragon and Phoenix Cheng Xiang" and "Fish Yue Longmen", which are vivid and beautiful.

In addition, it is worth mentioning Xiangxian Temple and Minghuan Temple. There is a stone tablet in front of Xiangxian Temple, 4 meters high and 1.9 meters wide, which was inscribed by Chenghua in Zhu Jianshen, Ming Xianzong in the fourth year (1469). Twenty-four Chinese-funded celebrities, led by Zhao Kui, the champion of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Xiong, the prime minister, and Huang Ze, the great scholar, are dedicated here. Honest and clean, not afraid of powerful "pockmarked-faced champion" Zhao Kui is good at writing poems. He is the author of 30 volumes of Habitat Collection and Zhao Kui Wen Cui 17 volumes, enjoying the reputation of "Little Dongpo". Just like Xiangxian Temple, a stone tablet of the same size stands in front of Minghuan Temple in western Chi Pan. The author of the inscription is Emperor Kangxi. The Kangxi Imperial Monument, written boldly and boldly, is like a patron saint who is proud of the world, guarding 28 people who came to Zizhou from other places to be officials and made outstanding achievements. They are Yang Shizhen, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, Fan Zuyu, a historian in the Song Dynasty and so on. Xiangbi Temple and Minghuan Temple have high courtesy, and they can enjoy "Spring and Autumn" with Confucius, the most holy teacher, every spring and autumn.
