Quzhou South Confucius Temple|West of Fushan, embark on a millennium-spanning journey into Confucian culture

When you come to Quzhou, don’t miss the South Confucius Temple west of Fushan! This is a treasure trove of Confucian culture and an immersive cultural experience spanning a thousand years~ 🔍 Cultural Origins: Every brick and tile tells a story Quzhou, known as the "Sacred Land of Southern Confucius," is home to the South Confucius Temple located on the west side of Fushan, carrying the profound heritage of Confucian culture. Strolling through, you can almost see the descendants of Confucius teaching and passing on knowledge here; every brick and tile narrates the legacy of a thousand years of culture. 📸 Photo Spot: The clash of ancient style and culture - Temple Architecture: Typical Jiangnan ancient architectural style, with flying eaves and upturned corners, carved beams and painted rafters. Wearing a Hanfu here for photos instantly creates a "ancient scholar/lady" vibe, fully immersing you in the atmosphere! - Cultural Exhibition Area: Displays Confucian classics and artifacts from the Confucius family. Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, feel the depth and warmth of culture, with photos naturally enhanced by a "cultural filter." 🌟 Immersive Experience: Be a "Confucian Culture Inheritor" for a day - Participate in a traditional Chinese studies class, listen to teachers explain anecdotes from the Analects, and subtly grasp the wisdom of Confucian virtues: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness. - Try traditional rubbing and calligraphy experiences, personally create a rubbing of a Confucian classic or write a piece of brush calligraphy to take home a cultural memory. 🍜 Nearby Food: Enjoy culture and cuisine together After visiting the South Confucius Temple, try some Quzhou specialties nearby: "Three Heads and One Palm" (duck head, fish head, rabbit head, duck palm) with a spicy and flavorful taste, plus scallion steamed buns that are both filling and delicious, kicking off a flavorful Quzhou journey~
