Located at No. 215, Wenmiao Road, Confucius Temple is the only ancient architectural complex dedicated to Confucius in central Shanghai. It was originally built between 1368 and 1398 to worship Confucius (BC551-479) who was a great thinker, educator, and founder of the Confucianism in China. Thereafter, it had been the top learning institution of Shanghai over a long time.
Shanghai Confucius Temple is one of the four ancient stone carving groups in China, famed as the ‘Treasure House of Stone Carving Art’. It consists of over 28 ancient buildings built with a large number of stone carvings, including Zunjing Pagoda, Dacheng Hall and Minlun Hall. Except for seven buildings which were destroyed or pulled down, the rest are mostly well preserved.
