Why is the Han Cheng Confucian Temple one of the top three Confucian temples in China?

There are more than 1,740 Confucian temples in China. Why is the Han Cheng Confucian Temple in Shaanxi Province the third largest Confucian temple in China? 💡Highlight 1: The Han Cheng Confucian Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and is the most well-preserved ancient Confucian temple in Shaanxi Province. 💡Highlight 2: The temple is mainly composed of Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasty buildings, and combines the architectural styles of different dynasties. The exquisite glass wall with five dragons, the ancient cypress trees, and the red walls and green tiles create a solemn, simple, and elegant atmosphere. 💡Highlight 3: The Dacheng Hall, a Yuan Dynasty building, is one of the typical representatives of Yuan Dynasty architecture in Han Cheng. The "Master of All Ages" plaque inside the hall is also from the Qing Dynasty. 💡Highlight 4: Among the ancient trees in the courtyard, the most eye-catching is a 1,500-year-old cypress tree with five branches pointing to the sky, symbolizing "five sons passing the imperial examination." Because of these ancient trees, locals believe that the Han Cheng Confucian Temple was not built in the Tang Dynasty, but earlier in the Sui Dynasty. 💡Highlight 5: The main exhibition hall of the Han Cheng Museum is also located in the east and west wing rooms of the courtyard. It is said that building a museum in a Confucian temple is a pioneering move in Shaanxi Province.
