Guangxi Humanities: Starting from the Gongcheng Confucian Temple, how was the status of Confucius's Master Of All Ages established

Read the history of the present, the history of Guangxi all over the commentary, the lesser-known history of the local history, welcome to pay attention!

Just brushed a piece of information, during the 2021 National Day, Gongcheng held a ten-day "Confucius Cultural Festival", that is, the fifth Confucius Cultural Festival in Gongcheng, Guilin.

This Gongcheng Confucius Cultural Festival started in 2017, according to the current economic life, this is also one of the tourism and cultural projects created by Gongcheng, and it is also an important activity to promote the local National Day tourism economy, publicize the local reputation, and also drive the local economy.

The cultural festival mainly revolves around the Gongcheng Confucian Temple, the culture of Confucius, basically every year in the temple according to a lot of activities, more fixed are: first, Gongcheng Confucian Temple Confucius ceremony; second, the entrance ceremony; three, the coming-of-age ceremony; fourth, the opening ceremony; fifth, traditional cultural activities.

These traditional cultural activities have a certain positive significance, in terms of learning and teaching, inheriting and propagating some fine traditional cultures for thousands of years, respecting teachers and emphasizing teaching, and have important educational significance for young adults and in the process of becoming masters.

Of course, these kinds of activities and rituals, the modern taste is relatively heavy, more or less with some commercial operations, the inevitable development of the times, everyone is also relieved. The Xunzhou capital O XinSen Miao Yan yao is excavating the historical stories of Guangxi's local history books, without talking about these modern things, take advantage of this cultural festival, follow the historical records of Guangxi's local history, dig up the history of gongcheng Temple, look at the ancient temple of literature in Guangxi, talk about the development process of the Temple of Confucius and the Temple of Literature.

When it comes to the Temple of Literature, most people now first think of the Temple of Confucius, which is a temple dedicated to Confucius, and the Temple of Literature = Temple of Confucius is also very normal, after all, the Temple of Literature is indeed the beginning of the worship of Confucius. But in fact, this statement is not entirely correct, in ancient history, the Confucius Temple can be said to be the Temple of Literature, but the Temple of Literature may not be able to completely refer to the Temple of Confucius.

Because between the two, it is a process of development and differentiation. Today, let's talk about how the various regulations of the Confucius Temple were determined, how the development path of the Confucius Temple is, and then talk about the difference between the Confucian Temple and the Confucius Temple in the next part.

Confucius, a native of Luguo (present-day Qufu City, Shandong Province), his historical status, it goes without saying more, just in the second year of his death (478 BC), the Duke of Lu Ai specially built a temple, the main shrine to Confucius, which is the beginning of the historical establishment of a temple dedicated to Confucius.

In the following two hundred years, there was no formal ceremony for the sacrifice of the Confucius Temple by later generations, and it was possible, perhaps, or like modern people, to celebrate the New Year's Festival, start a case, burn incense, worship a prayer, and then solemnly, it was the family sacrifice of the Confucius family in Qufu.

However, as history advanced, the influence of Confucius's Confucian doctrine expanded and increased, and his status also increased. In November 195 BC, Liu Bang passed through Qufu, and he sacrificed Confucius with the ritual of the Tai Prison (太牢, that is, cattle, sheep, pigs), which was the first time that the ancient emperors worshiped Confucius, which was a state-level sacrifice, and named Confucius the Ninth Grandson hereditary as the Worship King, since then, the official officially determined, affirming the status of Confucius and affirming the status of the Confucius family in Qufu.

Since then, no matter how the times have changed and how the dynasties have changed, the various generations of emperors have become the custom of offering Kong, Zun Kong, Sacrificing Kong, and Sealing Kong, and it has also become one of the surnames that have developed the clearest lineage among the hundreds of family names.

Wuyuan Temple of Literature

By the first year of the Hanping Emperor's reign (1 AD), the Hanping Emperor "posthumously honored Confucius as the Duke of Xuanni", which was the first title given by the emperor by Confucius, and in the next generations, different emperors gave him different titles of "谥", which was hundreds of words to be sorted out.

In the second year of the Eastern Han Dynasty Ming Emperor Yongping (59 AD), it was required to worship Confucius in the county school, which opened the beginning of the worship of Confucius in the "school" where learning and education were the mainstay, and in layman's terms, it began to hang the statue of Confucius in places similar to modern schools and install Confucius tablets.

By the seventh year of the reign of Wei Zheng (Three Kingdoms of Wei, 246 AD), Ling Taichangshi (太常解) enshrined Confucius in Taixue, which was the beginning of the highest state-level educational institution to worship Confucius, elevating the esteem of Confucianism to a higher level.

By the time Emperor Wencheng of Northern Wei came to power , (440-465 AD), not to mention how much he had achieved political achievements, how good a Ming emperor he was, at least under his rule, in the chaotic world, the territory he ruled had been stable for decades, the world was peaceful, living and working in peace and contentment, in this context, he issued an edict to seal Confucius again, and the activities of worshiping Confucius were made into a set of etiquette, and there must be a special ceremonial department to manage, from then on, it was inherited by later generations, and what changed in later generations was the way of etiquette, but the ritual of the sacrifice was handed down." The Matsuri "Festival" began as a fixed form activity.

Let's say that the flow of Confucius cultural activities in Gongcheng today actually shows an extension of this ancient ritual.

By the time of Liu Yilong, the Emperor Wen of the Southern Dynasty, he was also an accomplished emperor, and for more than twenty years as emperor, he practiced a series of benevolent governments, the territorial economy was prosperous, the people were recuperating, and the Liu Song Dynasty became the most powerful country in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Under such conditions, he upgraded the "Sacrifice Of the Hole Ceremony", which was more solemn, and added the "Dance of the Eight Nobles" and "The Joy of Xuan Hanging" to the ceremony.

As for how these dances and music are, I have not heard of them and have not seen them, it is not easy to explain, anyway, during the sacrifice, there must be a large temple sacrifice music and dance, and then popularly speaking, the sacrifice hole has become a large event held regularly by the country, there must be a "party", a song and dance performance, this kind of literary and artistic performance, is one of the fixed contents of the sacrifice hole activity.

In the second year of the Elephant of the Later Zhou Jing Emperor (581 AD), the little emperor Yuwen Elaborated on Confucius as the Duke of Zouguo, which was the beginning of Confucius's beginning to be knighted, and the titles of Confucius in later generations were out of control, and all kinds of famous halls, long, and higher and higher rank.

By the time of Emperor Wen of Sui, he also made Confucius the father of Xuanshi, and began to ask Guozijian (the highest institution of learning and education in ancient China since the Sui Dynasty) to hold sacrifices every four mid-months, that is, mid-spring (February), midsummer (May), mid-autumn (August), and mid-winter (November) ding day (Tiangandi branch) once a year.

This is what the history books call the beginning of the Confucius Ding Sacrifice, and it was carried forward (some historical books say that the Sacrifice of Confucius Ding began with Tang Taizong).

If these sacrificial activities before the Sui Dynasty were still partial, such as in educational institutions and the scope of Qufu, then by the time of Emperor Taizong of Tang, they had developed into state-level acts, and the sacrifice activities of the whole people and society.

In the second year of Zhenguan (628 AD), Emperor Taizong of Tang issued an edict saying that confucius should be stopped from being sacrificed with zhou gong ceremonies, and Confucius should be promoted to the rank of first saint and Yan Zi as the first teacher, requiring all counties and counties in the world to set up temples and sacrifice at four o'clock every year.

That is to say, before Tang Taizong, all of them implemented the Zhou Gong ritual system, but when Emperor Taizong issued an edict to stop, elevating Confucius to the holy place, only practicing the ritual of sacrificing Confucius, the sacrifice hole jumped out of the Zhou ceremony, it became a vein of its own, and required that all counties and counties must establish a Confucius Temple, as an important building for urban construction, standard buildings, since then, the Confucius Temple has been slowly built throughout the country, and in the form of government decrees, the temple sacrifice hole has been set down as a death regulation, and there must be a Confucius Temple in a city.

In the later generations, the historical changes of each dynasty, the natural and man-made disasters of the locality, the new construction, repair and reconstruction of the Temple of Literature have become a necessary matter in various places. In many local chronicles in Guangxi, it can be seen that the Temple of Literature and the Confucius Temple, in the county chronicles of various places, are self-established as a chapter, or almost all counties and counties have preserved various inscriptions of "Xiuwen Temple" and "Jianxue Palace", and have special chapters to introduce (with the exception of Fuzhou County in remote ethnic minority areas).

By the twenty-seventh year of the first year of Tang Kai, the world of the great prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong was naturally happy to engage in this kind of activity, and he had a new idea, he posthumously honored Confucius as king of Wenxuan, it can be said that he promoted confucius's status to the extreme, Confucius was promoted to "king", then the sacrifice to him naturally changed, what did he change? That is, the costume that formulated the sacrifice ceremony, the gun crown costume.

This kind of dress is also the common style of clothing that is now held in the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Confucius throughout the country when the restoration of the ancient Confucius Ceremony is held. I have heard the word "Gun Dragon Robe" before watching film and television dramas, which is also one of the specific standards of clothing, but the Gun Crown Costume is mainly worn on sacrificial occasions, also called sacrificial clothing. Prior to this, the special costume of the Matsuri Grand Ceremony was called Si Kou Fu. As for what Si Koufu looked like, Xunzhou Capital O Xin Sen Miao Yan Yao was shallow and did not understand, feeling that it should be similar to the kind of clothes worn by Zhuge Liang's common style in the Three Kingdoms Story.

After the Song Dynasty, the Emperor of the Zhao family paid more attention to the etiquette of worshiping Confucius and the pattern of The Confucius Temple. When Song Taizu Jianlong was in his third year, he issued an edict stipulating that the confucius temple should be "li ji sixteen" in front of the door, and by the fourth year of Daguan, Song Huizong was upgraded to "li ji twenty-four".

The halberd is a weapon, but in the later slow development, it has become a ceremonial instrument commonly used by ancient honor guards, and can be seen in the imperial travel team in the film and television drama. Common is also Ge, are used in conjunction with each other, whether it is a halberd or a Ge, it has become a symbol of status, the more the number is more noble, as if twenty-four is the most senior, emperor level.

At the same time, the level of the dress style of the Matsuri Grand Ceremony slowly increased. "Crown", the word should be no stranger, the uncrowned king should have heard of it, this "crown", that is, the hat with a "curtain" on the head of the emperor, looks simple, but it has a lot of ranks. That "curtain", used to be called spike, the scientific name is 旒, and the different numbers of strings hanging represent different grades. A tassel is called a tassel.

In the second year of The Reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song (1009), Jia Xiansheng, the Most Holy Crown, Huan Gui from Shanggong, and the Nine Chapters of the Nine Crowns. Gong Crown: Wang Zhi Ji fu, with nine crown crowns, Xuan Yi Qiao, yi painting dragon, mountain, hua worm, fire, Zong Yi five chapters, embroidered algae, powder rice, yellow, yellow four chapters, a total of nine chapters.

By the time Of the fourth year of Emperor Chongning of the Song Dynasty, it was the treatment of the first level of the king, and the costume was upgraded to "Crown Twelve Chapters of The Nine Chapters".

By the time of Jin Shizong, four years after Dading, this costume was at the top of the list, that is, the big qiu crown: used by the king Wu Tian god, with twelve crown crowns, big qiu, Xuan yi. The jacket depicts the six chapters of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and insects, and the lower coat is painted with six chapters of algae, fire, powder rice, Zong Yi, Huang, and Huang, a total of twelve chapters.

In general, the ceremonial dress of the sacrificial hole is of the highest specification, in the style of the emperor's sacrifice to the heavens.

The ritual of offering Confucius, the ceremony with the progress of the times, but also more and more advanced year by year, the image of Confucius is also changing, now the common Confucius statue, hands folded on the chest, a bit of a model, this is a more close to the people's shape, generally he has nothing on his hands.

But the statue of Confucius in the temple is different, usually a seated statue, holding a long plate-shaped thing in the hand, that thing is called Gui, and the common thing is the one that the ministers held in their hands when they went to the emperor to see the emperor.

Gui has a status symbol, is divided into ranks, divided into kings and gong, hou, bo, son, male six levels, Confucius's earliest gui style, is the above mentioned Song Zhenzong Xiangfu second year (1009), jiaxian shengzhi to the crown Huan Gui from the upper duke, Confucius took "Huan Gui", equivalent to the duke level.

By the time of the Great View Year, in addition to "erecting twenty-four halberds" outside the temple gate, Emperor Huizong of Song also gave Confucius the instrument of heavenly son, and the system of kings was to let Confucius hold the zhengui! What is the town gui, that is the ceremonial instrument held by the son of heaven, the highest level of the gui plate, one foot long and two feet long, with the mountain of four towns as the carving, taking the righteousness of the four sides of stability.

Having told so much, the story of the Confucius Temple is finished? That is certainly not, and the historical development of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties is not said.

As we all know, many Confucius temples now, the main hall of the Temple of Literature, that is, the temple where the statue of Confucius is located, is called Dacheng Hall, and his tablet is called Dacheng Xiansheng Master. How did the name Dacheng come about? Readers must know one or two, it is from "Mencius Ten Thousand Chapters": "Confucius's saying is to set the big, the set of the big into the also, the golden voice and the jade Zhen also." This great achievement can only be praised by Confucius.

But who ultimately gave the theory? Emperor Han, King Tang, and Lord Song only knew that Confucius was posthumously honored as a prince and a prince, and a saint was a first teacher, but he did not expect to be a "master of the collection". What was the name of the main hall of the Confucius Temple at that time? The First Temple? The Ancestral Master's Hall? This is not easy to check. But what is certain is that in the name of the emperor, it was Yuan Chengzong who gave Confucius the title of "Dacheng", and in the eleventh year of Dade (1307), Confucius was named king of Dacheng Shengwenxuan.

Since then, the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Confucius have called the main hall where Confucius is located the Dacheng Hall, and the tablet is the Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan King.

If in the costume drama, the plot background is before the Yuan Dynasty (1307), there is a Scene of the Confucian Temple, the Dacheng Hall appears, it must be a mistake.

During the Ming Dynasty, what rules were set for the Confucian Temple?

Generally speaking of sacrifices, modern people must think of the table of sacrifices on the sacrifice case, like the general family in different festivals, different regions, ancestor worship gods have different sacrifice methods, sacrifices are naturally different, as mentioned earlier, Liu Bang opened the Tai Prison ceremony, cattle, sheep (Too prison, that is, cattle, sheep, pigs), and later generations also continued and improved.

By the time The Ming Emperor Zhu Zhongba came to power, in the fourth year of Hongwu, it was in the form of the following edict, stipulating what should be placed on the table of the sacrificial hole case and in what order. Cattle, sheep, pigs are placed in the right place, other meat, vegetables, farming, small snacks and the like with special sacrificial utensils, placed in accordance with the prescribed position, usually every month, hope to lower incense, sacrifice wine, called the practice of dish ceremony.

Of course, the climate is different from place to place, and the crops produced are also different, but putting it on the altar table, that is all the same meaning, in short, everywhere is performing a complete set of sacrifices that are almost consistent.

Guangxi Humanities: Starting from the Gongcheng Confucian Temple, how was the status of Confucius's Master Of All Ages established

As mentioned earlier, a special literary and artistic performance was slowly formed by the Matsuri Grand Ceremony, with songs and dances and music, but each era is different, the Han Dynasty dance uses the "Dance of the Eight Nobles" and "the Music of Xuan Hanging", the Song Taizu uses the Yong'an Music (the Gagaku in the Song Dynasty Jiali Ceremony), and the Song Renzong uses the Dengge (in ancient times, when the festival was held and the Great Dynasty Meeting, the musicians sang in the hall).

This did not work, so Ming Taizu issued a regulation in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, promulgated the Dacheng musical instrument, and ordered all states and counties in the country to manufacture it uniformly, which is equivalent to all the instruments in the ceremony of the confucius, and what instruments must be used, what songs are played, what songs are sung, and what dances are all standardized.

In the year of Yongle, Zhu Di, who has made achievements in civil rule, also paid attention to the sacrifice of Confucius, he stipulated that the confucius enshrined in the world must be consistent in shape, the carved image, the painted image must be similar, the standard of Confucius's clothes in the portrait, how to put the left and right hands of the standing statue, how to sit in the sitting image, what gui board to take, and even the facial expression are stipulated, so the various ancient books we see today, the confucius statues on the ancient stone carvings, are generally not far behind, but the facial features are different due to the level of the engraver and the painter. It's just a little bit different.

Guangxi Humanities: Starting from the Gongcheng Confucian Temple, how was the status of Confucius's Master Of All Ages established

In the year of Jiajing, when Zhang Xuan was appointed as the first assistant, he vigorously promoted reforms, and politically he strictly reformed the laws of corruption and bribery against the princes and nobles, the relatives of the emperor and the state, and the various departments of the officials and families, and rectified the army regiments and camps militarily; culturally, he rectified all the shortcomings of the reform of the imperial examination, corrected the title and ceremony of Confucius, and rectified all the areas that the first assistant could manage anyway.

He also made a request for the thousands of years of worship of Confucius, not to seal Confucius too high, first of all, to remove the title of "Dacheng", because this title is too big, to go to heaven; also, before, Confucius did not take the royal system, take Zhen Gui? Confucius is not qualified, how can he be the instrument of the son of heaven, and he is not an official, he should take Mu Gui instead and treat him according to the virtuousness of no rank and no quality.

Therefore, the image of Confucius in the world is no longer a white "jade gui", but a wooden gui, which can be put on other colors. Like the seated statue of Confucius in the picture above, the gui is blue. Because it is stipulated that it is not the material of "white jade". The tablet in the temple is also the "Seat of the Most Holy Prophet Confucius".

At the same time, the original main hall of the Confucius Temple is called "Dacheng Hall", after the abolition of the "Dacheng" number, this main hall will be renamed the Ancestral Master Hall, at the same time, the architectural specifications of the Confucius Temple will also decline, can not have so much pomp and circumstance, the temple door is the temple gate, unlike now see a lot of Confucius Temple, the Temple of Literature, several heavy several entrance doors, and what ceremonial doors, and what bridges, what panchi, partial halls, apse halls and the like.

It is equivalent to saying that after the construction of the Confucius Temple, the Temple of Literature can only be left once into the temple, and the entrance door is that it was built before, and it can only remain as it is.

Guangxi Humanities: Starting from the Gongcheng Confucian Temple, how was the status of Confucius's Master Of All Ages established

By the Qing Dynasty, Confucius's status was reversed again and improved.

As we all know, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was from outside the Guan, in order to quickly dissolve into the life of Guannei and quickly get the recognition of the people of the world, that Zun Kong is a good entry point.

In the second year of Shunzhi (1639), Fu Lin decreed that the Temple of Literature, (note, it is the Temple of Literature), restore Confucius's title of "Dacheng", as follows: Dacheng Supreme Saint WenXuanshi Confucius. And in February and August, the Ding Festival was arranged, and special officials were arranged to perform the great sacrifice, and the three words "Dacheng Hall" were hung on the main hall again.

This is the biggest change in the Confucius Temple, before the Qing Dynasty, the Confucius Temple is the Temple of Literature, although before the Confucius Temple was also dedicated to other sages and confucians, but this temple is still called the Confucius Temple, the hall is prominent in the sacrifice of Confucius, headed by Confucius.

After arriving at the Shunzhi Emperor Dingwen Temple, this Confucius Temple is not only dedicated to Confucius, but also to add the previous generation of Confucian sages, called The Consorts. Every time there is a Ding sacrifice, in addition to Confucius to set up a case sacrifice, his more than 100 sages and confucians also need special table, special sacrifice, and more activities, becoming a real temple of literature.

Guangxi Humanities: Starting from the Gongcheng Confucian Temple, how was the status of Confucius's Master Of All Ages established

Now into the Temple of Literature, confucius temple, generally can see these four big characters, "WanshiShi Table", it can be said that this is the highest honorific title for the profession of teacher, for thousands of years, only this one person.

It is believed that all generations of emperors have recognized this status of Confucius, but the real definition is still the Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. He opened the most glorious and prosperous Kangqian era of the Qing Dynasty, which was enjoyed by posterity, which also became the last glorious years of Confucius in the feudal era.

The Kangxi Imperial Book, "Table of Ten Thousand Masters," hangs all over the Temple of Heaven; stipulates that all officers and soldiers and the people must dismount and walk when passing through the Temple of Literature; stipulates that all military attaches of the same city must enter the Temple of Literature according to their corresponding civilian official positions; and also stipulates a special music of the Temple of Literature.

At the same time, the architectural standards of the Temple of Literature were restored. As long as there is land and money, one into the hall can be, two into the hall is also OK, three into the hall is the standard, four into the hall can also have, in short, the temple of literature is not afraid of your construction, afraid that you do not build.

Guangxi Humanities: Starting from the Gongcheng Confucian Temple, how was the status of Confucius's Master Of All Ages established

Of course, the two emperors in the prosperous era of Kangqian were also idle, and the regulation of the Temple of Literature was also moved, and the inscription and plaque were normal, and the sealing was the main thing.

Yongzheng posthumously sealed Confucius five generations, and at the same time changed the Qisheng Ancestral Hall behind the Dacheng Hall to a Chongsheng Ancestral Hall, that is, a special shrine dedicated to confucius's elders, because there are different places, some say that it is dedicated to Confucius's parents, uncles, anyway, Yongzheng stipulates that it is the ancestors of the first five generations of Confucius, which is equivalent to Confucius's family ancestral hall, which is the understanding and implementation problem in various places.

As we all know, Yongzheng likes to engage in literal prison, and it is precisely this hobby of his, in order to avoid the secrecy of Kong Sage, he ordered that "Qiu" be changed to "Qiu", which changed the family lineage of people with the surname "Qiu".

Zun Kong's activities are naturally indispensable to the Qianlong Emperor, enjoying the prosperity of the Taiping Dynasty, he studied the activities of the sacrifice of the hole, in addition to writing the plaque inscription, he also promulgated the Ding Sacrifice Music Chapter, the special music dictionary of the Sacrifice Hole, and also approved the format and content of the sacrifice text.

Guangxi Humanities: Starting from the Gongcheng Confucian Temple, how was the status of Confucius's Master Of All Ages established

The world's Ding festival, le consistent, wen consistent, sacrifice consistent, there are special people to do these things everywhere, the economic level of various places is not the same, but checked the Gongcheng, Guiping, Guixian (Guigang), Pingnan, Fujian County, and so on the local history, the Temple of Literature Spring and Autumn Sacrifice special silver is just twenty-eight two three silver one point six cents more, incense candle silver is one or two five dollars and one cent more.

Many prefectures and counties are so consistent with the silver used in the temple of literature every year, which should be the unified standard implemented at that time, not like a coincidence. Zun Kong does not distinguish between regions, Dian Kong does not distinguish between rich and poor, poor counties and rich counties have a unified amount, there is no disrespect, there is no luxury.

Then again, the ancient Confucius sacrifice activity funds were unified everywhere, so like the current Confucius tourism and cultural festivals in various places, I don't know if the cost of activities is fixed and consistent? That's a digression.

After the prosperous era, the Qing Dynasty also began to decline, calm for a few years, the Western powers came with guns and cannons, for the sacrifice of Kong Dadian, the later Qing Emperor was not as important as the previous generation, Jia, Dao, Xian, Tong, the Five Emperors of Guang, in addition to adding a few plaques to the Confucius Temple according to the custom, they could not think of new tricks.

Later, after social changes and turmoil for more than a hundred years, the Festival of Confucius became a small ceremony, and the level of attention was different. With the various large and small things of the times, most of the original temples of literature and Confucius temples in county-level cities across the country have disappeared without a trace, and there are not many that can be preserved, and those that are maintained on a large scale are even fewer.

Guangxi Humanities: Starting from the Gongcheng Confucian Temple, how was the status of Confucius's Master Of All Ages established

Like the Gongcheng Confucian Temple, the Wuxuan Confucian Temple has become one of the most historical Confucian temples in Guangxi, and for a long time, the activity of worshiping holes has also fallen, and these surviving local Confucian temples have become places where people around the world make wishes. With the change of modern people's concepts, tourism culture and traditional culture have been re-examined and re-developed, and only today's Confucius cultural festival and Confucius sacrifice ceremony have reappeared.

Of course, these activities have fundamentally changed from the ancient ritual activities, only retaining a name, retaining a meaning, and the connotation is different.

The Gongcheng Confucian Temple Cultural Festival is about to open, I don't know if you will take advantage of the holiday to experience it? If there is, please take the picture above, let the Xunzhou capital O Xin Sen Miao Yan Yao also open his eyes, borrow the picture, and prepare the next article "The Difference between the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Confucius", "The Story of the Gongcheng Temple in the Local History", "The Millennium Of Gong huai in Gongcheng County".
