Confucious'Temple

The Confucian temple is a wooden tile house. It has a main gate called Zhuangyuan gate and two side gates called Wenwu gate. On the left is the gate for military officials to enter, and on the right is the gate for civil officials to enter. According to historical records, the Confucian temple was built in the Song Dynasty. It was damaged by war in the Ming Dynasty and repaired many times in the Qing Dynasty.

The existing Confucian temple faces south and is composed of dachengmen, qishengdian and east-west wing rooms. It is a famous Confucius Memorial Site in the border area of Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shandong provinces. There are two ancient cypresses and three stone tablets separated on both sides in the Confucian temple. One of the cypresses is leaning against the Leshi tablet written by Kong Zhaohuan, the seventy first generation of Confucius in the 15th year of Qianlong, forming the wonder of "Bai Baobei". The cypress on the right was burned by the Qing army and Nian Army in the battle of Mangdangshan in the Xianfeng Period of the Qing Dynasty, but it is still flourishing. The blue stone steps between the two ancient cypresses are carved with a cloud dragon, which is called "dragon step". Only when the emperor comes to visit Confucius can he walk..

The main building of Confucian temple is called Qisheng hall. Qisheng hall is five rooms wide and three rooms deep, with a hard mountain style gray tile roof. In front of it is a rolling shed type corridor. In the Qisheng hall, Confucius and his four companions are worshipped, including Yanhui, Zengshen, Zisi and Mencius.

Master's shelter

On the west side of the Confucian temple are Guanyin Pavilion and Confucius shelter. According to the records of Yongcheng county annals of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, Confucius shelter is a natural half covered pot shaped stone chamber, 6.5 meters deep and 20 meters wide. At the end of the spring and Autumn period, that is 495 BC, Confucius led his disciples to travel around the world to "go to Cao Shi Song". When they passed Mangdang Mountain, it rained heavily. Confucius and his disciples took shelter from the rain. There is still a statue of Confucius in the cave, bent knee and cross legged, facing south. This statue was carved in the Ming Dynasty. It is the only ancient stone statue of Confucius in China. Now its face is incomplete. The old statue of Confucius is about one meter high and faces south. It sits on its knees, arched hands and necked. It is vivid. At the end of the spring and Autumn period, when Confucius led his disciples to travel around the world to "go to Cao Shi Song", they passed through Mangdang Mountain. Suddenly, the wind was strong, the clouds were rolling, and it began to rain heavily. In the spring and Autumn period, Mangdangshan belonged to the state of song, located in the border of the state of song, sparsely populated and densely forested. The master and his disciples wanted to find a place to take shelter from the rain, but there was no one else in the barren mountains. Confucius and his disciples had no choice but to run in the rain. The rain continued. There was a cliff on a hill to the west of Mangdang mountains. We took shelter from the rain here. Although the cliff is more than 20 meters wide, the space is very narrow. Confucius' disciples and carriages are still drenched. Confucius said to himself, "it would be nice if this cave could be bigger!" After that, there was only a sound in the air. After the thunder, a section of the cliff grew forward. Confucius said: "my teachers and students traveled around the world to promote benevolent government. They took shelter from the rain and got the protection of heaven. But there are many teachers and students. The cliff is still not enough to cover the wind and rain. I hope heaven can let the cliff extend a little further.". After Confucius said that, he bowed his hands and knees to heaven for three times. After listening to the thunder, a section of the cliff went out to the foreign minister, with a total depth of 6.5 meters, which could not only accommodate his disciples, but also protect his horses, carriages and books from the wind and rain. After the rain, the sun was shining directly on the cave. Confucius and his disciples quickly sorted out the books, emptied the water from the bamboo slips, and moved them to the big stone platform outside to dry them. This was the famous Confucius drying desk in Mangdangshan. The local people think that it is Confucius' academic spirit that moved heaven. From then on, the drying desk no longer has rain and dew all the year round. It can dry clothes and grain day and night. Unfortunately, the book drying desk was destroyed during the cultural revolution.

Master shelter from the rain has been a scenic spot of Yongcheng since ancient times. It is called "Shiya DiCui". It witnessed Confucius' footprints and benevolence. In front of the vivid statue in the cliff of Confucius, later generations set up censers and kept burning incense all the year round. Visitors to Mangdangshan, especially literati, would come here to pray devoutly, and also repose the people's infinite respect for Confucius.

Guo ta

Guo pagoda was built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty. According to historical records, "Guo Zigao, a native of Peixian County, came to Mangdangshan to rebuild the Confucius Temple during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, and then became the host of the temple. After his death, he was buried in the pagoda.". The body of the tower is inlaid with 64 brick carvings. Carved on the bricks are flowers, mythical characters of journey to the West (Monkey King, pig Bajie, Tang monk, etc.), and the stone pagoda on the east side is engraved with the words "the 48th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty" (1709).
