The Wuxuan Confucius Temple in Guangxi.

The Wuxuan Confucius Temple covers an area of 4,760 square meters and is the largest existing Confucius temple in Guangxi. It has been repaired successively during the Ming, Qing, and Republic of China periods, forming a palace-style Xieshan Chuan Dou-style brick-wood structure ancient architectural complex composed of screen walls, east and west wing rooms, ceremonial doors, righteous roads, Lingxing gates, champion bridges, Pan pools, Dacheng gates, Minghuan temples, Xiangxian temples, east and west pavilions, terraces, Dacheng Hall, Chongsheng Temple, Zunjing Pavilion, Minglun Hall, etc. The Confucius Temple was moved from the old county town (now Sanli Town Old County Village) in the sixth year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty (1431). At that time, the county magistrate Zhang Xunding was initially built in the left corner of the south gate (the current site). The Confucius Temple faces north and south, overlooking Qianjiang, facing the Wenbi Peak, with a high and open terrain, a majestic scale, and a spectacular view. It was repaired successively in the years of Zhengde and Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. In the fifth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1632), the county magistrate Sun Guangqi also built the Zunjing Pavilion and the two gates of Xin and Xun. At the end of the Ming and early Qing dynasties, the temple gate collapsed. In the seventh year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1668), the Confucius Temple was moved to the Li's residence outside the north gate, and only the Dianxu Jiaomen was built. The county gentry believed that the terrain was not good, and there were no champions, and it was remote and desolate, so it was moved back to the current site in the ninth year of Kangxi (1670) and the pavilion door hall was rebuilt. In the fifty-first year of Kangxi (1712), the Dacheng Hall and Qisheng Temple were repaired in the year of Renchen, and the construction was completed in the spring of Jiawu. In the fifty-eighth year of Kangxi (1719), Minglun Hall was repaired. In the sixth year of Yongzheng (1728), the Chongsheng Temple, East and West Pavilions, Minghuan Temple, Xiangxian Temple, Palace Wall, Pan Pool, and Lingxing Gate were added. The ceremonial door was repaired from the fifteenth to the seventeenth year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1835-1837). Guangxi District Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
