Nanjing Confucius Temple is for consecrating and worshipping Confucius, the great thinker and educator in ancient China. Nanjing Confucius temple was built in Song Dynasty (A.D.1034) and expanded in East Jin Dynasty. This architecture complex was ruined and rebuilt for several times. The Confucius Temple once was rebuilt in Qing Dynasty (A.D.1869) but was seriously destroyed by the Japanese aggressor troops in 1937. In order to protect the old city, the Chinese Government appropriated funds to rebuild and fix the ConfuciusTemple. Nowadays it has re-expressed its splendid civilization to the world and has been regarded as the special scenery of Nanjing.
