Temple of Confucius and Guozijian Museum
Temple of Confucius and Guozijian Museum, once the site of the imperial college during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, and now a museum consisting of multiple scholarly halls and stone steles and showcasing the educational system in imperial China. The Temple of Confucius in Beijing is the second largest Confucian Temple in all of China, after the one in Confucius' hometown of Qufu. The temple was originally built in 1302 for officials to honor and offer sacrifices to Confucius and today features numerous statues and carvings of note, as well as hundreds of stone steles recording the names of the scholars who passed the Imperial Examination. Beside the Confucius Temple lies Guozijian Museum, which was originally constructed in 1306 and was once the site of the Imperial College, China's most important educational institution throughout the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Today, the museum showcases the exam system used to select talent for government roles in feudal China.
