The paifang (memorial arch) decorated hutong which houses the Confucius Temple has long been home to scholars and the temple’s quiet courtyard and few visitors make it a great place to soak up the old school ambience, surrounded by stone tablets and cypresses.
As with most Confucian institutes and temples this was a place of learning and there are stelae (stone tablets) denoting those who passed the civil service exams set around the courtyard.
On the western side of the grounds you’ll find more tablets inscribed with the Thirteen Classic philosophical writings that were attributed to Confucius.
There’s also a display of ancient musical instruments, which are played on the Old Sage’s birthday, celebrated annually on September 28th (National Teachers’ day). Note: The temple was undergoing extensive restorations at the time of writing.
