Jiading heritage ~
Confucius Temple is a common name for the temple of Confucius. Because Confucius was granted different titles in different eras, the Confucius Temple actually has many real names such as "Xuanni Temple", "Wenxuanwang Temple", "Dacheng Zhisheng Wenxuanwang Temple", which were collectively called "Wenmiao" in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Temple of Literature was widely built in local schools at all levels in ancient China, so the Temple of Confucius is both a temple dedicated to Confucius and a place of education for official learning, so it is also called the Palace of Learning.
Jiading Confucius Temple Ancient Building Complex
Jiading Confucius Temple, built from the 12th year of jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty, has been continuously repaired, expanded and rebuilt more than 100 times over the past 800 years, thus building the Jiading Confucius Temple, which is known as "Wuzhong First" in Jiangnan, and is still the largest ancient architectural complex in northwest Shanghai.
Today's Jiading Confucius Temple covers an area of more than 11,300 square meters, among the 300 existing Confucius temples in the country, it is also one of the well-preserved county-level Confucius temple buildings in China, and was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit in 2013, which is a well-deserved national treasure-level ancient building complex. At present, the Jiading Confucius Temple has the Shanghai Chinese Imperial Examination Museum, which vividly reproduces the Sui Dynasty's opening of the science to the abolition of the scientific expedition at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and comprehensively shows the historical changes of the Chinese imperial examination system in the past 1300 years.
The culture and story of the building
In the 800 years of history, the Jiading Confucius Temple, as the source of local indoctrination and ritual music, has cultivated a large number of talents, including the fourth Mr. Jiading "Tang Shisheng, Lou Jian, Cheng Jiaxuan, Li Liufang" of the Ming Dynasty's Famous Zhenjiangnan Literary Circle, and Qian Daxin and Wang Mingsheng, giants of the Qianjia School of the Qing Dynasty, whose works are equivalent, who studied at the Jiading Confucius Temple.

As a Confucius Temple, it is naturally indispensable to "conventional projects" such as Dacheng Gate, Dacheng Hall, Confucius Statue, etc., but jiading confucius temple has its own unique features, and here it releases some 7 small details that are indispensable to visit jiading confucius temple.
01
3 arches
If you start the tour from the gate of the Jiading Confucius Temple, you can make a big mistake! In front of the Confucius Temple, there is an old street on the Bullet Grid Road, which is called "Xuedian Street" by locals. There are three arches at both ends of this street, and the journey to the Confucius Temple in Jiading has officially opened from these three arches.
The "Xingxian Fang" of the Song Dynasty, the "Yucai Fang" of the Yuan Dynasty, and the "Yanggao Fang" of the Ming Dynasty, the three arches are exquisitely conceived and simple, and the roof ridge is equipped with a sacred beast called the kiss of the iris, which is the ninth son of the dragon and loves to swallow fire.
The archway is an ancient Chinese building that flaunts merit, and these three arches are naturally praising Confucius's profound learning and the merits of cultivating talents.
02
72 stone lions
In front of the Jiading Confucius Temple, there is a 100-meter-long stone railing, and on the stone railing there are small stone lions carved from granite, with different looks and loved by everyone.
Although the lion is not a native Animal of China, as the king of the beasts of honor and majesty, it has always been favored by Chinese and is one of the guardian deities of the courtyard house. It is said that during the "Cultural Revolution", the staff of the Confucius Temple in Jiading heard that these stone lions were going to be "broken and old", and in a hurry, they used bricks to build a wall of these railings and stone lions overnight, and painted revolutionary slogans on them, which avoided the disaster.
According to various historical materials, there are a total of 72 of these small stone lions, symbolizing the 72 proud protégés of Confucius, but the 72nd stone lion is often missing, and only a few particularly lucky people can find it. Interested visitors can also look for and count carefully.

60 years goodbye pan water
The first gate of the Jiading Confucius Temple is called the Lingxing Gate. There is a Yuan Dynasty ichthyosaur stone carving on the middle door, carved with a carp that jumps upwards, and under the body is a sparkling water wave, which means that any reader who enters the Confucius Temple can carp jump the dragon gate.
Walking into the Star Gate, you can see a semi-circular pool called "Pan Pond". According to legend, the ancient Jiading Confucius Temple as the seat of the county school, students after the examination of meritorious names to worship Confucius, and after 60 years can "revisit Panshui".

Bridge of 3 people
The three bridges over Pan pond are called Pan Bridges. These three bridges are also exquisite. In ancient times, the hierarchical system was strict, ordinary students could only pass from the side bridge, and only the champions or officials could step on the middle bridge, so the middle bridge was also called the "Zhuangyuan Bridge".
Historically, Jiading has had 3 scholars who have passed the examination for the middle school, namely Wang Jingming, Qin Dacheng, and Xu Chen. It is said that some students once swam here to the place of excitement, accidentally stepped on the Zhuangyuan Bridge, and jumped into the pan pool in a hurry to resolve the embarrassment.
