Anfu Confucius Temple

　　It is a key cultural relic protection unit of Jiangxi Province, situated in Anfu County, about 60 kilometers from Ji’an City. It is the largest and most well-preserved Confucius Temple in the southern Yangtze River region. Originally built in the fourth year of the Yuanfeng era during the Northern Song Dynasty (1081), it was formerly known as the “Academy” or “Temple of Literature.” After several cycles of destruction and reconstruction, it was relocated to its current site in the 12th year of the Shaoxing era of the Southern Song Dynasty (1142). The existing main structures face south and cover an area of 2,148 square meters, with the entire complex spanning over 10,000 square meters. Key features include the Dismounting Stele, Pan Pond, Round Bridge, Dacheng Gate, Memorial Hall for Meritorious Officials, Memorial Hall for Local Sages, East and West Side Halls, Terrace, and Dacheng Hall. The Dacheng Hall follows the architectural style of traditional Chinese palaces and displays exhibits on Anfu County’s 2,200-year history since the Qin Shi Huang era, as well as its favorable natural conditions and rich cultural heritage.
