Tong'an Confucian Temple

Tong'an Confucian Temple is located by a stream in the eastern suburb of Tong'an. It was first set up in the Five Dynasties. Dacheng Hall, the existent construction, was rebuilt during Emperor Qianlong's reign of Qing Dynasty.

Today, the Confucian Temple has been turned into Tong'an Musuem in which historical records and cultural relics of Tong'an dated back to as early as the Western Han Dynasty were exhibited. On the north side of the temple, there is a ground setting in order over 200 pieces of stone carvings and steles collected from different areas of Tong'an. With different bearings and so true to life, these sculptures are called “terracotta warriors and horses of Tong'an”.
