The Confucian Temple in the center of Zhengzhou was once the largest ancient architectural complex in the area. It is now free to open many places in the country have Confucius Temples or Confucius Temples. This is the place where Confucius is worshipped. The largest and earliest Confucius Temple in the country is the Confucius hometown of Qufu, Shandong. Confucius Temple has been included in the World Cultural Heritage. In Zhengzhou, Henan, there is also a Confucian Temple. The Zhengzhou Confucian Temple is located in the old town of the city center. It has a long history and is earlier than most Confucius Temples in the country. Founded in the Yongping Period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhengzhou Confucian Temple was the oldest and largest ancient architectural complex in Zhengzhou. The Zhengzhou Confucian Temple once had more than 200 temples and pavilions, covering an area of about 50,000 square meters. There is one street crossing in the east and west. However, the scale of the Confucian Temple is now very small. There are only two ancient buildings and several small rooms in Dacheng Hall and Tuen Mun. The current Confucian Temple is a free and open tourist attraction, but there are not many foreign tourists. Most of the time is very deserted. Some locals are resting at the entrance of the Temple of Literature. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there were 37 acres of the Temple of Literature, consisting of the front yard, the middle court and the back yard. The front yard has the Xingxing Gate, Dianchi Lake and Tuen Mun. There are Dacheng Hall and East-West Gallery in the Intermediate Court. In the backyard, there are Minglun Hall, Jingting Pavilion and Zunjing Pavilion. Dacheng Hall is the essence of the Confucian Temple. This temple has been repeatedly destroyed by fires in the history of the temple. The most recent fire occurred during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. All the buildings were almost burned out, and the scale after reconstruction was much smaller than before. The existing Dacheng Hall is still an ancient building of the Qing Dynasty and has a high historical value. The entire Confucian Temple is antique and solemn, next to the historic site of the historic city. Confucian Temple is easily accessible by subway and you can walk to the "East Street" station and walk. The scenic spots in the old city of Zhengzhou are relatively concentrated. The Erqi Memorial Tower in the city center was once the symbol of Zhengzhou. Nowadays, with the vigorous development of Zhengdong New District and the high-rise buildings, the urban style has undergone tremendous changes.
