Confucianism palace in Haiyang County

The Confucian palace of Haiyang county is located at the junction of Changli road and Wenxing road in Chaozhou City. It is commonly known as Redology and Xuegong. It was first built in Shaoxing of the Southern Song Dynasty and was destroyed by fire in 1278.

There are statues of Confucius and his disciples in the hall. The existing buildings in the palace, such as Dacheng hall, panchi, Lingxing gate and Zhaobi, only account for one third of the original area. The Dacheng hall retains the palace style of the Ming Dynasty. The beam type roof truss is supported by 43 columns, and the hall is surrounded by stone railings. In recent years, Lingxing gate, Jinsheng gate, Yuzhen gate and panchi gate have been rebuilt, and six steles of the Ming and Qing dynasties have been embedded. The academy is an important revolutionary memorial, where the Political Department of the first division of the National Revolutionary Army and the officers' training regiment of the Nanchang Uprising army were stationed. The academy is now the site of Chaozhou Museum.
