Fushun Confucian Temple
富顺文庙
A county-level Confucian temple first built in the Northern Song dynasty, grand in scale and rich in fine stone carvings, often hailed as one of the foremost Confucian temples in southwest China.
Fushun Confucian Temple was first built in the Qingli era of the Northern Song dynasty. Most of the surviving structures were rebuilt in the Qing dynasty. The Lingxing Gate, Dacheng Hall and Chongsheng Shrine line up along the central axis, and the stone dragon columns, the carvings on the Lingxing Gate and the semicircular pond are exquisite. It is a national key cultural heritage site. Fushun has long been known for its literary culture and is called the Land of Talented Scholars. Admission is about 20 yuan (subject to on-site prices). The temple is in Fushun county town, about 35 km from Zigong city centre, and you can also try authentic Fushun tofu pudding in the town.
