The Temple of Confucius is a temple building commemorating and offering sacrifices to Confucius, a great thinker and educator in China.Due to the important role of Confucianism founded by Confucius in maintaining social stability, all feudal dynasties held Confucius in high esteem. In ancient times, Confucius ceremonies were often held, either by the emperor himself or by senior officials appointed by the emperor. The scale of offering sacrifices to Confucius was as grand as that of offering sacrifices to heaven. Thus, the important position of Confucius in history can be seen. Every Temple of Confucian is a museum, whose architecture, tablet inscriptions, ritual vessels, Musical Instruments, sacrificial rites, music and dances are all very precious cultural heritages. With the rapid development of China's economy and the increasing importance of China's international status, the image of China as a cultural power has become more and more important. The function of Temple of Confucius has gone far beyond the significance of commemorative buildings and become the cultural symbol of the Chinese nation. The existence of Temple of Confucian reflects the mainstream status of Confucianism in Chinese traditional culture. In the future development, the Temple of Confucian will undertake the dual functions of cultural inheritance and education, and promoting the integration and unity of the Chinese nation.
