The Confucian Temple of Quanzhou Prefecture was first built in the late Tang Dynasty's Kaiyuan period, and the prime minister at that time, Zhang Jiuling, inscribed the plaque "Lusi Kou Temple". In the early years of the Taiping Xingguo era of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Confucian Temple was relocated here. After several repairs, the left learned from the right temple, and the regulations gradually became complete. The scale continued to expand, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, forming an important base for the widespread dissemination of traditional Chinese culture centered on Confucianism in the southeast coast and even Southeast Asia. It is a large group of Confucian temple buildings in the southeastern region.
In 2001, the Confucian Temple was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit, and it is currently one of the two Confucian temples in Fujian Province that have been listed as national key cultural relic protection units.
The Dacheng Hall is a typical Song Dynasty double eaved pavilion style structure. The hall is a arch of wooden architecture beam lifting structure. The whole hall is supported by 48 white stone columns, eight stone dragon eaves columns, a statue of Confucius in the middle of the Dacheng Hall, and the "Master of All Worlds" written by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty is hung on the beam. To the east of Dacheng Hall are Chongsheng Temple, Minghuan Temple, and Minglun Hall. Many cultural relics such as the Confucius Spring Well, where Song Taishou wrote poems in the temple, are well preserved. These buildings form a complete Confucian temple complex.
