brief introduction

In the late Qing Dynasty, there were three Confucian temples in Chengdu. In addition to the Fu Confucian temple on the street in front of the Confucian temple, there are Huayang Confucian temple in He Gong lane and Chengdu Confucian temple in Wen Sheng street. But now there is only Wenmiao street in Chengdu, but the Confucian temple no longer exists. But there are Confucian temples in the suburbs around Chengdu.

Xinjin Confucian Temple

It is located in Zhengxi street, Xinjin County, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. It was rebuilt in 1683, the 22nd year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty. The main hall is basically in good condition, with double eaves of brick and wood structure. The wings and corners are tilted around. The depth of the hall is 15.5 meters, and the width is 23 meters. The 18 stone pillars are all six sided stone foundations. Some of them are decorated with relief carvings of Coons, and the windows are hollow wood carvings. In 1981, it was designated as the county's key cultural relics protection unit.

Wenjiang Confucian Temple

Wenmiao street in Wenjiang city was built at the beginning of Xianping in the Song Dynasty and destroyed by soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty. It was rebuilt in the eighth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1669 A.D.) and expanded in the years of Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty. During the period of the Republic of China, it was once the site of county middle school and the office of Wenjiang District People's government. On February 16, 1984 (the 15th day of the first lunar month), the Dacheng Hall of the Confucian temple was destroyed by fire. The left and right verandas, the East and West pavilions, the second hall, and panchi still retain the original architectural style. Dacheng hall is now rebuilt according to its original appearance. It was reopened in October 2005.

The reconstruction of Wenjiang Confucian temple historical and cultural area has taken four years. The temple is also built for the people, and the Confucian Temple Square and Linyin block are built to provide Wenjiang citizens with a good place for leisure, shopping, culture and entertainment, as well as a new cultural landscape in the central city of Wenjiang.

Wenjiang Confucian temple is a key cultural relic protection unit at the municipal level. In 2003, Wenjiang District vigorously implemented the strategy of "famous cultural area" and started the renovation and construction of the historical and cultural area of the Confucian temple. The project, which lasted four years and was implemented in three stages, is the largest and best protected "Qianqiu project" in Wenjiang Confucian temple history. The renovation project of Confucian temple started in 2003, in accordance with the principle of "current maintenance and reinforcement as the main part, partial shelf repair as the auxiliary part, ancient and modern technology as well, and put an end to any destructive construction", repaired and maintained panchi, Baitai, lileting, dongxiwan, Dacheng Hall in the Confucian temple, and restored the new Lingxing gate, Yingbi, Kuixing Pavilion, etc.; since 2004, the Confucian temple began to implement In 2005, the district Party committee and the district government decided to bring Longjian street, Xiaonan street and Wenwu Road together into the protection area of the Confucian temple for renovation and reconstruction. The largest repair and maintenance of the Confucian temple in history was carried out, and the construction of the Confucian temple shady block was started.

At present, the renovation of the Confucian temple, the road reconstruction of Longjian street, Xiaonan street and Wenwu Road, the diversion of rain and sewage, the laying of pipelines, the greening construction and the renovation of style and features have been completed. In order to inherit the urban context, Longjian street and Xiaonan street have been officially renamed zanyuan street. After the completion of the historical and cultural area of the Confucian temple, the Dacheng Hall of the Confucian temple, with double eaves and yellow glazed tiles, is resplendent and majestic as a cultural and artistic activity center in Wenjiang District, which is open to the public for fees; Wenwu Road and zanyuan Street are commercial pedestrian streets with green trees, green bricks and gray tiles, antique, and on the sidewalk, 100 original and translated versions of the Analects of Confucius and their carvings are laid The white wall facing the street is painted with portraits of four famous disciples of Confucius. A bronze statue of "Confucius travels around the world" is placed on the street, which makes people feel like they were in the spring and Autumn period more than 2000 years ago.

Chongzhou Confucian Temple

Built in the early Hongwu Period of Ming Dynasty, the Confucian temple was rebuilt in the Kangxi and Guangxu periods of Qing Dynasty. It covers an area of more than 10 mu and has a construction area of more than 2400 square meters. Usually, the visit to the Confucian temple starts from Wanren palace wall, Lingxing gate, panchi Panqiao, Jimen, Dacheng hall, etc. Chongzhou Confucian temple can only be visited upside down from Qisheng hall. Because Wanren palace wall starts from the south entrance of Shijie street, but there is no entrance. I didn't go outside, and I don't know if there are four big words "Wanren palace wall" written on the wall outside. However, I can imagine that anyone who passes through the palace wall will have "master's wall is several Ren, and you can't enter it..." My respect.

In the hall of enlightenment, Confucius' parents are worshipped. On the statue, there is a gold plaque with a blue background, which reads "enlightenment and Enlightenment". There are four paintings on both sides, which respectively tell the stories of "Confucius' mother, Yan Zheng's teaching son", "Mencius' mother's teaching son's painstaking efforts", "Confucius's reading of Yi, Wei and Bian's three unique skills" and "Uncle Liang's brave hearing of the princes".

Dacheng hall is a double cornice. Under the vertical plaque of "Dacheng hall" is the horizontal blue gold character "model of all ages". Confucius was worshipped in the middle of the hall, with the inscription "heaven and earth". On both sides are "shengjidacheng" and "not with the people". On the left and right sides of Confucius are the second sage Mencius and the Zongsheng Zengzi, on which are the words "Si Wen Zai Zi".

The Danbi Panlong in front of the hall has never been seen in other Confucian temples. They are usually relief sculptures, but this is the cloud dragon circling, suddenly a huge dragon head arched.

The amazing statues of Confucius and his disciples in the East and West pavilions. Instead of offering sacrifices to someone like a God, it tells the stories of Confucius and his disciples, such as Xinglin's lectures on killing himself to be benevolent, thinking of what is right for him, valuing his friends and so on. The color images are life size. They are all vivid. The back wall is lined with colorful paintings, which also tells the story of the characters in the spring and Autumn period. Among them, the story of taking advantage of one's own interests is worth pondering. It is said that Confucius' students Zigong and Zaiyu, as the principal and Deputy envoys of the weak state of Lu, worked among the princes, and achieved such deeds as disorganizing Qi, breaking Wu, strengthening Jin and dominating Yue. They are not only good at learning, eloquence and political activities, but also good at business. They have a lot of money, but they are also good at giving. This is the story of taking advantage. They have plenty of wealth, but they are never stingy, and they do not turn back for their country. I don't know where the success of forgetting righteousness at present comes from.

Today, in front of the Dacheng hall, between the two verandahs, although there is no memorial ceremony for Confucius, it has become an excellent place for people to exercise. More than 20 old people dance red fans and dance with music.
