Jieyang school

Jieyang school

Jieyang Academy was built in 1140, the 10th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty. It condenses the essence of the thousand year old Confucian culture. The existing building group consists of 21 single buildings. It is the largest, most complete and well preserved historical building group of the same kind in Lingnan area. It is also the only cultural protection unit named "the site of Comrade Zhou Enlai's revolutionary activities" in the province. In May 2013, the State Council approved and announced it as the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

Development history

Jieyang Academy was originally called "Jieyang Confucius Temple", also known as "Confucian Temple" and "Redology". Because Jieyang people often call it academy, Jieyang Confucius Temple is gradually called "Jieyang academy". Jieyang academy is located in the east of Hanci intersection in Jieyang City, which is the highest Academy in ancient Jieyang.

It has a history of 876 years. With a total area of 20020 square meters, it is the largest existing Confucian temple at the county and government level in China. It is only smaller than Qufu Confucian temple in Shandong Province, ranking second. It has an important position and influence in similar ancient buildings. In South China, it can be called the crown. As the only official school of Jieyang in feudal society, Xuegong shouldered the responsibility of cultivating imperial examination talents. Jieyang academy has cultivated many excellent talents from Song Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, which has made an indelible historical contribution to winning the reputation of Jieyang as the "hometown of culture". However, due to the natural disasters of war in history and the demolition and reconstruction during the cultural revolution, the whole Jieyang Academy was in a state of dilapidation and partial endangerment.

Historical evolution

It was founded in the 10th year of Shaoxing (1140), the 7th year of Jiaqing (1579) and rebuilt in the 2nd year of Guangxu (1876). It covers an area of 5526 square meters. It adopts central axis layout and high platform foundation hall structure. The main buildings are Zhaobi, Lingxing gate, Panqiao, panchi, Dacheng gate, dongxiwei, Dacheng hall, Chongsheng temple, etc. The main buildings are high platform foundation, large columns, red tiles and green eaves. They are magnificent and solemn. They are large-scale and well preserved buildings of the same kind in Guangdong Province, with high scientific research value and artistic level. The Dacheng hall is decorated with plaques issued by the emperors of past dynasties, such as: "a model for all generations", "no living people", "Shengji Dacheng", "sharing with heaven and earth", etc. In the main hall, there is a statue of Confucius. On the left, there are Fu Sheng Yan Zi and Zongsheng Zeng Zi. On the right, there are Shusheng Zi Si Zi and Ya Sheng Meng Zi. In front of the hall, there are 12 sages on the left and right.

The Confucius Temple is also the site of revolutionary activities. In 1925, Zhou Enlai worked in it during the second and second Eastern expeditions. In the autumn of 1927, when the Nanchang Uprising troops arrived in Jieyang, Zhou Enlai, he long, Ye Ting and other leaders also held a military meeting in the Minglun Hall of the Xuegong. In 1957, the Academy was listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in Guangdong Province, and later was named "the site of Comrade Zhou Enlai's revolutionary activities" by Guangdong Province.

Donglixiang, a poet in Jieyang, wrote a poem "dispatch to jiangchengzi" to praise Confucius Temple. Word cloud:

Main attractions

Jieyang Confucius Temple

Through the bustling Jinxian pedestrian street in Jieyang, we suddenly see the ancient Confucius Temple in Jieyang, which makes people feel like they are in a disordered time and space. Jieyang Confucius Temple, located in the east of Hanci intersection in the center of Jieyang Rongcheng, is solemn and majestic, flying in the air, known as "the Pearl of Lingdong ancient architecture".

The Confucius Temple in Jieyang has a history of more than 800 years since Sun Yi founded Rongcheng as the capital of the county in the 10th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty. It has a great influence on the cultural landscape of Jieyang and Lingdong. The surrounding area of the Confucius Temple has now developed into a prosperous business district, but as soon as you enter the Lingxing gate, your mind immediately calms down. The mottled ancient walls around the Confucius Temple are the precipitation of the vicissitudes of life, which makes you feel the massiness of history. This kind of atmosphere makes people have to look dignified, for fear of blaspheming a generation of teachers!

In addition to offering sacrifices to Confucius, Jieyang Confucius Temple is also the highest institution of learning in ancient times to cultivate a large number of students, so it is also known as the "school Palace".

It is said that the front building of Jieyang Confucius Temple is the two pavilions of Tengjiao and Qifeng at the south end of Hanci road. Unfortunately, these two pavilions were demolished during the period of the Republic of China for widening the road. Juxtaposed between the two pavilions is the Zhaobi of the Confucius Temple, which is the front building of the existing Confucius Temple. The Zhaobi faces south and is inlaid with a granite horizontal plaque. On it are the four characters of "Taihe Yuanqi" written by Yang Zhi, one of the five sages of the Jieyang people in the Ming Dynasty.

Facing the Confucius Temple, Zhaobi is divided into three rooms, the middle of which is the Ming Dynasty, and the front is engraved with porcelain carving "the picture of Li Yue Yu gate". On both sides of the second, the left and right patterns are carved with deer and crane facing each other. The deer opens its mouth and the crane contains chips. It's a pity that the original photo wall was destroyed in 1969, and the photo wall we saw was restored in 1984.

Lattice star gate

If you don't enter the Confucius Temple, enter the Lingxing gate first. The pure stone structure of the Lingxing gate has five stone pillars separated by three gates. The top of the pillars is Baoding, and the two sides are Yunfang dragon heads. Entering the gate of Lingxing is panchi. The doors on both sides of panchi pass through the left and right buildings, with "Jinsheng gate" on the right and "Yuzhen gate" on the left.

The dachengmen pass through panchi. There is a blue vase in the middle of the roof and a turtle kiss ridge on the left and right. Think about the homonym of "Baoping" and "Baoping", which means "Baoping". On both sides of the dachengmen gate, there is a wing room. In the East, there is a famous official Temple, which is dedicated to the officials who have made great achievements in Jieyang. In the west, there is a "Xiangxian Temple" for eunuchs of Jieyang. There are three rooms each. Secondly, there is a warehouse on the left and right, forming an inverted seat.

Dacheng Hall

Crossing a patio from dachengmen is the core building of Confucius Temple dachengdian. As the site of the statue of Confucius, Dacheng hall is not only the core of the temple, but also the main part of the courtyard. The door, corridor and veranda around it are trying to highlight the main axis of the temple, namely Dacheng hall. It's five bay wide, with a stone in front of it. In order to show respect for Confucius, yudaoshi had no stepping stones, and could only look forward to his ancestors from a distance. Because it's near noon, and it's not a weekend Festival, the courtyard is cold, but smelling the faint smell of incense, it seems that there are misty and solemn silk and bamboo in a trance, as if they were separated from each other.

On the four big stone pillars of Dacheng hall, there are four wooden dragons, which are lifelike. It is said that the four dragons suffered misfortune during the "Cultural Revolution" and were almost reduced to ashes. Fortunately, the cultural relics workers snatched them back and hid them in the basement. However, the head of one of the dragons has been burned. The head of the dragon on the southwest side of Dacheng hall was made up by Guo yanteng, a provincial woodcarving artist from Jieyang. On both sides of the courtyard in front of Dacheng hall are the East and West verandas, which were originally used to offer sacrifices to the ancient Confucianists who inherited and explored the Confucianism of Confucius.

Sacrificial ware storehouse

The last one is the sacrificial ware storehouse for the instruments of sacrificial rites to Confucius. The west is now called "Jieyang unearthed cultural relics exhibition", which introduces all kinds of cultural relics unearthed in Jieyang from primitive society to modern times. The East is now called "imperial examination Exhibition" and "Confucius Confucianism Exhibition". Next to the north of dongxiwei is dongxizhai, which is an extension of dongxiwei. It forms Dacheng hall and Chongsheng temple into a closed courtyard building, implying that there are many Confucius disciples and that Confucianism has a long history.

Jieyang Confucius Temple is one of the well preserved Confucius temples in China. It has become a paradise in the downtown of Rongcheng.
