Confucius Temple
Wén Miào Temple is called the Confucius Temple only because it is the only one of its kind in Shanghai. The Cultrual Revolution destroyed many of the original contents of the Temple. Today most everything is a reproduction. Like all Confucian temples, Wenmiao features a língxin mén (gate) leading to the main hall, Dàchéng Diàn. A statue of Confucius stands outside, and inside are statues of Confucius flanked by his two disciples, Mèngzi (Mencius) and Yànhui, and his two favorite musical instruments, a drum and set of bells.
This temple is located in Jiading well outside of the city.
