Jianshui Confucian Temple

Jianshui Confucian Temple was first built in the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. Its current scale, architectural level and well-preserved state make it the third largest Confucian Temple after the Confucian Temple in Qufu, Shandong and the Confucian Temple in Beijing. I have not been to the first two Confucian Temples, but I know this Confucian Temple is extraordinary just by looking at the scale of the Pan Pond here. This Pan Pond is so big that it cannot be called "Pan Pond", but "Xuehai", which means "the sea of ​​learning has no boundaries"; the light and shadow of the red wall in the afternoon are extremely beautiful, the tree roots with great vitality and impact, and the pillars on the Lingxing Gate that stand out from the crowd all left a deep impression on me...

I had no hope at first, I thought I would buy a ticket and go in, but the result was refreshing. I have been to some Confucian Temples and the Confucius Temple in Qufu, but none of them had the same feeling. Whether it was the architectural pattern, the camellia in the courtyard, the Dacheng Hall, or the Yuanjiang Prefecture School, the various plaques with vicissitudes of life, or the young tour guide, they all touched my heart. In the end, even the cats in the garden made me happy, performing some classic yoga moves for me and Lao Tang.

There is a 45-acre pond in front of the Confucian Temple, called "Sea of ​​Learning", which means that Confucius' knowledge is as profound as the sea.

The "Li Men" stone archway is engraved with "Officials, soldiers, and civilians must dismount here." No matter whether they are the emperor, ministers, or common people, they can only enter here on foot to show respect for Confucius.

Zhusiyuanyuan: "The ancient memorial archway, tile eaves and brackets are majestic.

A Ming Dynasty stone tablet depicts Confucius playing the zither and teaching his students etiquette and morality. It is said that if you touch Confucius' forehead and then touch your own forehead, you can inherit Confucius' wisdom. Over the years, the forehead of Confucius on the stone tablet has been dented.

It was a weekend, and we were fortunate to see the Dongjing ritual music performance. All the performers were white-haired old men, wearing formal attire, playing ancient musical instruments. Amid the melodious and elegant ancient music, the old men were chanting scriptures.

After the ancient music, an old man led people into the "Temple of the First Master" and performed the ritual of three kowtows and nine bows in the mist of incense. The atmosphere was solemn. Although I seldom kowtow in temples, I also bowed to Confucius and expressed my gratitude for the inheritance of Confucianism in Chinese history and culture.

The Confucian Temple has brought a strong atmosphere of learning to Jianshui. Every year, many scholars and candidates emerge. One year, they accounted for half of the number of candidates who passed the imperial examinations in Yunnan. If you come to Jianshui, you must visit the Confucian Temple to get some cultural atmosphere.

The Confucian Temple, located in the center of the ancient city of Jianshui, is one of the largest Confucian temples in China. It was first built in 1285 and is the third earliest temple built in Yunnan Province after Zhongqing (Kunming) and Dali. It was later expanded in the Ming and Qing dynasties and covers an area of ​​114 acres. The overall layout adopts a central axis symmetrical palace style and is built in the style of the Confucius Temple in Qufu. It has 1 hall, 2 wings, 2 halls, 2 pavilions, 5 ancestral halls, and 8 squares. It is a large-scale building complex.

Jianshui Confucian Temple was first built in the 22nd year of the Yuan Dynasty (1285), and has a history of more than 700 years. After more than 50 expansions and renovations, it now covers an area of ​​76,000 square meters. Its current scale, architectural level and degree of preservation are second only to the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong and the Confucius Temple in Beijing, and it ranks among the top large Confucian temples in China.

The two most important attractions in Jianshui Ancient City are the Confucian Temple and Zhu Family Garden. Jianshui Confucian Temple is said to be the second largest Confucian Temple in China, which can be felt from the size of the Panchi at the entrance. The main layout of the Confucian Temple is basically the same as that of Confucian Temples in other parts of the country. Walking in Jianshui Ancient City, it is easy to find the Confucian Temple, and there are also the Xuezheng Examination Hall and Zhu Family Garden around it for you to visit.

It was not the peak tourist season for the Confucian Temple, so there were almost no tourists. I could get a general idea of ​​the temple by following the WeChat voice introduction. However, the WeChat explanation focused on the architectural value, and there were too few stories, so I couldn't understand much.

The difference of Jianshui Confucian Temple lies in that when you enter the door, you will see a pond the size of several football fields. The fish in the pond are startled by the footsteps, causing ripples from time to time.

It is the largest Confucian Temple besides the Confucius Temple in Qufu. It has a history of 700 years and is worth a visit.

It was built in the 22nd year of the Yuan Dynasty (1285 AD) and has a history of more than 700 years.

If you have time, go shopping and experience your own culture.

The ticket price has been reduced, and the single ticket is 40 yuan. The overall introduction can be changed.

At night, locals can go in and visit the lotus pond, but tourists are not allowed in, which is unfriendly😏😏

Going further, you will reach the Confucian Temple. Speaking of Confucian Temples, the first thing that comes to mind must be the Confucius Temple in Qufu, the hometown of Confucius in Shandong, and the Confucius Temple in Beijing. The Confucian Temple in Jianshui was built in the 22nd year of the Yuan Dynasty, and it has a history of more than 700 years. The ticket is 40 yuan per person, and I didn't go in.

"Respecting Confucius" is a cultural tradition that has been passed down in my country for more than 2,000 years. Jianshui Confucian Temple is the third largest Confucian temple in China.

Because there are few tourists, you can listen to the guide carefully, walk around the corners carefully, and take photos happily. There are several mottled wooden doors, red walls with gray tiles, and kapok flowers scattered all over the ground.

Jianshui County is a small county that focuses on Confucian culture. The Confucian Temple is very large and the ancient buildings are well preserved.

It’s very good, a kind of inheritance of traditional culture.

Jianshui Confucian Temple was first built in the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. Its current scale, architectural level and degree of preservation are well preserved. It is the third largest Confucian Temple after the Confucian Temple in Qufu, Shandong and the Confucian Temple in Beijing.

Feel the profound Confucian culture and cultivate your temperament

There is an artificial lake in the center of the Confucian Temple. The water is so clear that the blue sky and white clouds can be reflected in it. Going through a door is the most attractive place in the Confucian Temple - Dacheng Hall. There is a stone tablet in the pavilion with a picture of Confucius teaching. This stone tablet has a history of hundreds of years. From the blessing cards on it, we can see that students who are about to take the middle school entrance examination and the college entrance examination like to come here to worship and write their wishes on the blessing cards, hoping to get a good grade and go to a university they are satisfied with.

Every weekend, there will be "ancient music performances" in the Confucian Temple, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, from 9:00 to 11:00 and 14:00 to 16:00, and it is free to watch.

The weather was very good that day. The entire Confucian Temple was bathed in sunshine. The shadows of the big trees left mottled shadows on the red walls, dancing with the breeze.

The Confucian Temple has two courtyards, the front and back courtyards. The front courtyard is a large lotus pond. This courtyard is open from 6:30 am to 9:00 pm, and can be used by elderly people with annual tickets for morning exercises. The inner courtyard is closed at 6:30 pm, so we went inside to visit first. When we came out, the setting sun was shining on the archway, and there was a lotus pond in front.

The second largest Confucian temple in China after the Confucius Temple in Qufu. It covers a large area and has archways, halls, bell towers, and statues. The environment in the courtyard is quiet and the ancient trees are towering. It has a sense of ritual of traditional Chinese culture and is worth a visit! Tickets are a bit expensive.

Jianshui Confucian Temple is located in Jianshui County and is said to be the second largest Confucian Temple in China. Tickets are 35 yuan. There is a statue of Confucius at the entrance, and a large pond behind it. There are trails on both sides, and you can visit the temple inside. The photo was taken around 5:30 in the evening.

Jianshui Confucian Temple is known as the second Confucian Temple after Shandong Confucius Temple. It is really huge. The environment is good. In summer, the huge pond full of lotus flowers and lotus leaves is very spectacular. It is very suitable for taking pictures when there is sunshine. There are mango trees in the garden. Many students come here to make wishes. There is a special wishing wall in front of the temple. You can spend 19 yuan to buy a wishing board and hang it up. Of course, you can also look at other people's wishes hahahaha. It is much more exquisite than imagined. In short, it is a place worth visiting. It is a large-scale tourist attraction in the small Jianshui County.

It is said to be the second largest Confucian temple in China. It is indeed large, with six courtyards. It is well preserved. It is worth a visit. But the ticket price is a bit expensive.

It is said to be the largest Confucian temple in China, probably referring to its area.

It's worth a visit, it's good. It's worth the trip.

I don’t want to write too much about the review, but I still recommend it. The ticket price is a bit expensive, just look at the pictures!

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw some grandpas and grandmas. If I hadn’t bought the tickets, I would have almost mistaken it for a park.

The entire building faces south and is divided into seven spaces.

After entering the core area from the left, the contrast is sharp. The ancient trees are gloomy and solemn. The most attractive thing about the whole building is undoubtedly the Dacheng Hall, with five halls lined up in a row. The main hall is equipped with a dragon throne and Confucius is enshrined. Perhaps the concept of Confucianism is not so strong now, and the feeling is not very deep.

Jianshui Confucian Temple is the most worthwhile attraction to visit. If possible, you can find a tour guide for 30 yuan. Follow the guide to learn about history and see ancient buildings. If you are lucky, you can also watch music performances in front of the Temple of the First Teacher. Anyway, it was quite shocking at the time.

Jianshui Confucius Temple is said to be the second largest in China. The scene from the entrance is indeed quite large, but I have seen enough Confucius Temples and I really don't want to spend 60 yuan to go in. LP says there will be ancient music performances here on weekends. After asking, I found out that there are performances, but you need to buy a ticket to watch it.

No wonder Jianshui is such a small place with so many talented people. It turns out that education has been valued for a long time.

Coming down from Chaoyang Tower, we continued walking into the ancient city. The last attraction we visited in Jianshui was the Confucian Temple.

Jianshui Confucian Temple has a history of more than 700 years. After more than 50 expansions and renovations, it now covers an area of ​​76,000 square meters, ranking among the top large Confucian temples in China and a national key cultural relic protection unit. The 22 lattice doors on the front are carved with birds and animals in various shapes. The glass tile roof is dazzling. The temple is surrounded by dense ancient cypresses, which looks solemn and majestic.

The scenery is average, and the ticket price is expensive. Since it is a cultural landscape, I went to see it. Some things inside are OK, such as stone carvings

We visited the Confucian Temple on the afternoon of July 9th. It was not the peak tourist season, and there were no activities. There were few tourists in the whole scenic area. Instead, there were many local uncles and aunts playing cards and chatting in the East and West Stele Corridors, and occasionally one or two students were seen practicing sketching. I heard that it was the location of Jianshui No. 1 Middle School before, and later it was changed into a pure tourist attraction. Perhaps because of this, the statues and tablets on display are very new and have a rough feel. Combined with the relatively old buildings, we feel an uncomfortable separation. Perhaps we have really been away from the era of "Confucianism as the only doctrine" for too long, and the whole tour process was not interesting, dull and boring.

Maybe we went at the wrong time. Such a cultural landscape must return to its original cultural atmosphere to be interesting, but we were not able to participate in the Confucius worship activities. The lotus flowers in Panchi were half-bloomed, just like our mood, what a pity.

The entrance fee to the Confucian Temple is 60 yuan, and the student ticket is 30 yuan. The four-pillar and three-door stone archway at the entrance was built during the Yongzheng period. When you enter the gate of the Confucian Temple, you will first see the rippling "sea of ​​learning". You have to walk through it before you reach the main gate of the Confucian Temple.

I had heard about it before I went there, but I thought the 50 yuan ticket was too expensive, so I didn't go in.

Located in the heart of the ancient city, the pride of Jianshui people. The second largest Confucius Temple in China, worth a visit

It is said that the Confucian Temple has three gates, but I only saw two. One is the South Gate, and tourists usually enter from the South Gate. Entering the South Gate of the Confucian Temple, you will see the solemn "Taihe Yuanqi Square", then a pond of more than 20 acres full of lotus flowers called "Xuehai (Panchi)", and finally enter the temple building area. The other is the East Gate, which faces the Confucius Cultural Square. After entering, you will directly arrive at the temple building area. Under the guidance of a local kind-hearted person, I came out of Zhujia Garden, took a small path and went directly to the Confucius Cultural Square, and entered the Confucian Temple from the East Gate.

The ticket is 60 yuan, which includes admission to the Academic Examination Hall. You can also buy a package that includes Zhu Family Garden and Swallow Cave for 133 yuan. I wasn't interested in this, so I just wandered around the door.

Next, we turned back and walked around to digest the food. It gets dark late in Yunnan, and it doesn’t get dark until 7 o’clock. The Chaoyang Tower with lights on at night is much more gorgeous than during the day.

Jianshui is a place with a strong cultural atmosphere, which is particularly evident in the Confucius Temple. The style of ancient Lin'an people who valued literature and learning has influenced people in later generations. The Confucius Temple is very large. If you browse it carefully, it may take about two hours. You can learn a lot of Confucian knowledge and culture. It is really good for students or children to go to this place, but you must learn about the Confucius Temple. For example, the salute gesture to the statue of Confucius. However, perhaps because Jianshui is slowly developing now, the ticket and guide fees are much more expensive than other places, so I didn't hire a tour guide, I just wandered around by myself, and I may have missed something. It is recommended to spend 30 yuan to hire a tour guide to explain, and it is best to choose a local elderly person, so that you can understand more.

The environment is beautiful, quiet and has a strong cultural atmosphere.

The largest Confucius Temple in the southwest and even in the south, built by the Central Plains government to educate the various ethnic groups in the southwest. The layout inside is very neat, and there is a large area of ​​water that is incomparable to the Confucius Temples in Qufu, Shandong and in the north.

The second largest Confucian Temple in China after Qufu, Shandong, used to be a place for teaching and giving lectures, and also for worshipping Confucius. After entering, I really found that I had no cultural knowledge. For example, the "Zhu Si Yuan Yuan" archway, apart from the archway art and the carved beams and painted buildings on it, I couldn't understand these four words at all. In fact, if you know a little about Confucius' life, you will know that after traveling around the countries, Confucius returned to Lu and gave lectures at the intersection of Zhushui and Sishui. "Zhu Si Yuan Yuan" naturally means that Confucius, as an early enlightener in my country's education field, has a long history of thoughts and deeds.



The core of the Confucian Temple is the Hall of the First Teacher, which houses a bronze statue of Confucius and is the core place for worshipping Confucius. The people of Jianshui love to come here. You can guess without me saying it, of course they come here to make a wish that their children will be on the list@@, so there are countless wishing boards hanging on both sides of the Hall of the First Teacher. Basically, they hope that someone will be admitted to a certain university, but there are also some strange ones, such as wishing someone to become a CFO. The Confucian Temple also has services such as the coming-of-age ceremony, adult ceremony, opening ceremony and ancient wedding ceremony. We happened to encounter the coming-of-age ceremony. It was raining heavily at the time, but I don’t think it affected the ceremony at all. I didn’t look closely, but the whole process was very well done. For children, this can be regarded as an excellent gift and baptism.

Jianshui, Yunnan, a thousand-year-old city of Confucianism and a scholarly family with a history of seven hundred years!

Jianshui Confucian Temple is the second largest Confucian Temple after Shandong Kongfu Temple. Every October, the Confucius Cultural Festival is held on National Day. It is a must-see attraction for tourists to Jianshui. If you want to learn more about Confucius culture and history, you can go and have a look.

Its existing scale, architectural level and degree of preservation are second only to the Confucius Temple in Qufu, the hometown of Confucius in Shandong, and the Confucius Temple in Beijing, and it ranks among the best among the large Confucian temples in the country. Jianshui Confucian Temple was built in accordance with the style and regulations of the Confucius Temple in Qufu. It adopts a palace-style symmetrical north-south central axis, and multiple single buildings are symmetrically arranged on the east and west sides. The original main buildings include: one pool, one altar, one garden, two halls, two wings, three halls, three pavilions, four gates, five pavilions, six ancestral halls, eight squares, etc. 37. Now, except for the shooting garden, Zunjing Pavilion, Kuixing Pavilion, Jingyi Pavilion and Zhaisu Pavilion, the remaining 32 buildings have been relatively well preserved and restored.

The ticket price is 30 yuan with a student ID. Jianshui Confucian Temple has a history of more than 700 years. The building is well preserved. There is a lotus pond inside. You can worship Confucius. There are not many tourists. It is very quiet.

I went there in the summer when the lotus flowers were in full bloom and the weather was very nice and cool. It was a great place to visit. There were fewer tourists and I could enjoy it comfortably.

The Confucian Temple is probably the place with the strongest cultural atmosphere in Jianshui. It is very quiet and we all like it very much.

The Jianshui Confucian Temple complex is located in the north-south direction, with a depth of 625 meters and a total of seven spaces.

Wenmu Temple (ticket price: 60 yuan, 30 yuan for children) has undergone more than 50 expansions and renovations.

It is the largest local Confucian temple in the country, a national key cultural relic protection unit, and a national 4A-level tourist area.

Jianshui Confucian Temple is located in Jianshui County. It is one of the largest Confucian temples in the country.

Its current scale, architectural level and degree of preservation are second only to the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong and the Confucius Temple in Beijing, and it ranks among the best among the large Confucian temples in China. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit. When we visited the Confucian Temple, we just caught up with the rehearsal for the "Confucius Sacrifice Ceremony".

There were not many tourists. The guide was quite good. He was wearing Hanfu and I felt that the money was well spent when listening to the explanation. The Panchi in this Confucian temple is the largest among all Confucian temples in China. Is it called "the sea of ​​learning has no boundaries"? There is a lantern festival inside during the Lantern Festival. On weekends and summer vacations, there are Chinese studies courses, coming-of-age ceremonies and other ceremonies here.

Jianshui Confucian Temple is located at No. 268, Lin'an Road, Jianshui County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is known as the second largest Confucian Temple in China after the Confucian Temple in Qufu, Shandong. It was built in the style of the Confucian Temple in Qufu, Shandong. It is really large. The Dacheng Hall is very impressive.

Jianshui Confucian Temple, built in the Yuan Dynasty, is the third largest Confucian Temple in China after the Confucian Temple in Qufu, Shandong and the Confucian Temple in Beijing. As expected, the pool is big and impressive. The Hall of the First Teacher is a five-bay, three-deep, single-eaved, hip-and-gable building. The most eye-catching thing should be the Zhushayuanyuan Archway. Except for me and two foreigners, the others are all local elderly people who come to exercise. They can get free tickets with their senior citizen cards. There are towering pines and cypresses inside, and the air is pretty good.

I asked the innkeeper to buy the tickets at a 20% discount. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the inn to the Confucian Temple. It is a place worth savoring slowly. Here, I finally understood the meaning of the pond in the Confucian Temple.

Entering the gate, you will see a large lotus pond. Although the lotus has withered, I still like this artistic conception.

One of the most famous attractions in Jianshui is the Confucian Temple, which is also the third largest Confucian Temple in the country. Its architectural style is completely based on the Confucian Temple in Qufu, Shandong. There was a school in front of the Confucian Temple. Now after the school moved, it has been converted into a park.

So I walked for a long time before entering the Confucian Temple, but fortunately the scenery along the way was nice

I was pretty lucky because there was a performance going on at that time. These uncles in ancient costumes performed ancient music and chanted passages from the Analects of Confucius.

Jianshui Confucian Temple is the third largest Confucian temple in the country. The scenery is very beautiful, and there are ancient music performances in the afternoon. It is worth a visit.

There are rare inscriptions from various dynasties, which are a must for rubbing. It is really a town with rich cultural heritage. At the end of the central axis is the lotus pond and lotus pavilion, and on both sides are the calligraphy of local primary and junior high school students.

There is a pavilion in the gate, and the pavilion is in the middle of the lake. It feels majestic even though it is unclear.

The second largest Confucius Temple in China, the architecture is elegant and grand, and the layout is very academic, it is worth a visit

It's a must-see scenic spot, it's very big, and I personally feel the tickets are a bit expensive.

The ticket price is 60 yuan on normal days, but it is free on the day of the Confucius Cultural Festival. I went there for free. It feels good, but it is not worth it if you spend 60 yuan. It depends on your preference.

Jianshui Confucian Temple. In terms of area and size, it is second only to Shandong Confucius Temple and Beijing Confucius Temple in China. Jianshui locals built Jianshui No. 1 Middle School next to the Confucius Temple.

The Confucian Temple is a good place for local residents to take a walk. It is free with an ID card and the ticket for tourists is 60 yuan. From the outside, there is a lotus pond inside, but we did not go in.

Jianshui has the custom of respecting Confucius and attaches great importance to cultural cultivation. There is a statue of Confucius and many activities related to Confucius every year. There is a piece of water called Xuehai when entering the gate, which means "the sea of ​​learning has no boundaries". Further in, there is the Confucius Temple. It is said that going there to worship before the exam can bless you to do well in the exam. The tour took about an hour. I didn't find a tour guide, so I didn't understand it very well.

The scale of Jianshui Confucius Temple is one of the largest local Confucius Temples. It is recommended to ask a tour guide to talk about the special features of Jianshui Confucius Temple. It is said that burning incense here is very effective. Its spiritual energy is reflected in the Jianshui No. 1 Middle School next door. It is said that the proportion of students admitted to key universities is 95%.

This Confucius Temple is indeed magnificent and gives people a solemn and dignified feeling. It is amazing that the Confucian Temple is located in this small town and has been well preserved to this day! According to reports, Jianshui has been a literary place in history. Since the Confucian Temple was established in the early Yuan Dynasty, many talents have emerged. In the past, the proportion of successful candidates in the imperial examinations here sometimes accounted for more than half of Yunnan Province. At that time, the academy here was also the highest institution of learning in southern Yunnan. It's really amazing!

The main hall in Zhilin Zen Temple is very beautiful, but unfortunately it has been rented out by a private person to hold an art exhibition. I accidentally walked in because someone said that the ancient well in Ji Kilometer was filmed here. Unfortunately, it is a holiday now, and everyone is resting, and the ancient well is locked in the house. Speaking of ancient wells, I have to say that Jianshui got its name because there are so many ancient wells here. In short, there are really too many wells here.

The Confucian Temple is a place you can walk to. The quiet environment inside gives you a sense of transcendence. I really like it here.

From here alone, we can see that Confucian culture has a profound influence on everything in Jianshui. Confucian culture is fully presented here.
