Qiongshan Confucius Temple

　　The Confucius Temple is located on Wen Zhuang Road in Fucheng Town, facing south with its back to the north. Also known as Shenggong Temple, it was originally called the Confucius Temple. According to the Qiongshan County Annals compiled by Zhu Weichao during the Qing Dynasty: The Temple of Confucius was first built during the Song Dynasty, originally situated at Haikou Pu. It was relocated multiple times throughout history before being placed 300 meters north of the ancient city’s southern gate and the moat. The temple roof features nine ridges and is built in a double-eave hip-and-gable style. Originally, it had structures such as the rear hall, Dacheng Hall, east and west corridors, Lingxing Gate, and Dan Chi, all of which were grand and magnificent. It served as the main Confucian educational institution in Qiongshan over the dynasties, covering a maximum area of “500 feet in length and 128 feet in width, totaling 64,000 square feet.” Today, only the Dacheng Hall remains. It has a width of five bays and a depth of three bays, faces south with its back to the north, and features a double-eave hip-and-gable roof. The beam framework adopts a seven-rafter wooden structure, with carvings of exquisite dragons, lions, lotuses, and swirling clouds between the beams and rafters—solemn and elegant in style. It is a key cultural relic protection unit in Haikou City.
