Konglin, originally called the Holy Forest, is the cemetery of Confucius and his family. After Confucius died, his disciples buried him on the Surabaya River in the north of Lucheng. At that time, it was still a tomb but not a tomb (no high soil bulge). In the Qin and Han Dynasties, although the tombs were built high, there were still only a small number of cemeteries and a few forest guards. Later, as Confucius' status increased, the scale of Confucius Forest became larger and larger. In the third year of Yongshou reign of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 157), Lu Prime Minister Han_ built the tomb of Confucius. He built a divine door in front of the tomb and a room for sleeping quarters in the southeast. Wu Chu and other households were used to sweep the tomb of Confucius.

In the 10th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1684), Konglin was expanded to 3,000 acres.

The Temple of Confucius began in the second year after the death of Confucius (478 BC). The disciples built the hall where he lived during his lifetime as a temple and worshiped him every year. At that time, there were only three temple rooms, which contained the clothes, crowns, musical instruments, carts and books used by Confucius during his lifetime. Since then, successive dynasties have continued to expand it. In the first year of Yongxing of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 153), Emperor Huan ordered the Confucius Temple to be built, and appointed Kong He as the temple guard and erected a monument in the temple. In the second year of Wei Huangchu (AD 221), Emperor Wen Cao Pi issued an edict to build an old temple in Lu County. However, the scale of the Confucius Temple was not very large at that time. In the late Western Jin Dynasty, the temple was in ruins. In the first year of Xinghe in the Eastern Wei Dynasty (AD 539), the Confucius Temple was renovated, a holy face was sculpted, and ten sons were erected beside it. This was the beginning of the Confucius Temple having statues. In the early Tang Dynasty, in addition to building a Zhougong and a Confucius temple in the Imperial Academy, the highest institution of learning in the capital, the emperor also issued an edict to build Confucius temples in all prefectures and counties. The temple was built five times in the Tang Dynasty and seven times in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The biggest one was in the second year of Yongzheng (AD 1724). At that time, the Confucius Temple was destroyed by thunder and fire. In addition to personally going to the Ancestral Temple to worship Confucius, Yin Zhen also sent money to ministers and other supervisors to supervise the construction. Everything is presented in drawings and given instructions personally. In order to speed up the progress of the project, 12 prefectural, prefecture and county magistrates were mobilized to supervise the construction, which took 6 years.
Historically, the Confucius Temple has undergone 15 major repairs, 31 minor repairs, and hundreds of minor repairs, finally reaching its current grand scale. The current scale of the Confucius Temple was completed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The building is modeled after an imperial palace, with nine courtyards divided into nine, running through a north-south central axis, and arranged symmetrically on the left and right. The entire building complex includes five halls, one pavilion, one altar, two verandas, two halls, 17 stele pavilions, and 466 rooms, which were built in the Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods.
