Dacheng Hall is the main hall and core of Confucius Temple. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Wang Wenxuan Hall, with five rooms. During the overhaul in the fifth year of Song Tianxi (AD 102), it was moved to this site and expanded into seven rooms. In the third year of Song Chongning (A.D. 1 104), Zhao Ji, Huizong, took Mencius' meaning: "Confucius is a master", and the next imperial edict was renamed Dacheng Hall, which was rebuilt in the second year of Qing Yongzheng (A.D. 1724), with nine ridges and double eaves, covered with yellow tiles and carved. The temple is 24.8 meters high, 45.69 meters long and 24.85 meters wide. It is located on the pedestal of the temple, with a height of 2. 1 m. It is the tallest building in the whole temple and one of the three ancient temples in China.
It is located in Qufu City, with magnificent, magnificent and resplendent buildings. It is the largest place to worship the Confucius in China. The year after Confucius' death (478 BC), Lu Aigong converted his old house into a temple.
Since then, successive emperors have continuously sealed Confucius and expanded temples. Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty ordered an overhaul and expanded it to a modern scale. There are nine courtyards in the temple, which are divided into left, middle and right roads with the north-south axis, with a length of 630m and a width of 140m. There are more than 460 temples, halls, altars and pavilions with 54 doorways. 13 "Imperial Monument Pavilion". Visiting the Confucius Temple should focus on the Kuiwen Pavilion, the Ming Tombs Pavilion, the Xingtan, the Dacheng Hall and its inscriptions in previous dynasties on the central axis. Kuiwen Pavilion, named as one of the 28 stars, was named Kuiwen because of the ups and downs of Kuixing. Kuiwen Pavilion is a library, which originally contained books and ink donated by emperors to Confucius. On the east side of the pavilion, there is a book tablet written by Li Dongyang, Kuiwen Pavilion Fu. On the west side, there is the tablet of "The Book of Kuiwen Pavilion Resetting". After several generations of wars, most of the books in the pavilion have been lost. Thirteen stone pavilions are located in the east and west courtyards in front of Dacheng Gate. Among the eleven stone pavilions, there are 53 imperial monuments in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, which fully shows the lofty position of Kong Qian in feudal society. Xingtan is located in the middle of the aisle in front of Dacheng Hall, which is said to be the place where Confucius gave lectures. There is an old cypress beside the altar, which is called "the old teacher planted cypress". Zhu Lan around Xingtan is surrounded by mountains, crossed with ridges, two layers of yellow tile cornices and double half arches. There are well-carved algae wells and painted golden panlong in the pavilion, among which Qingganlong's "Xingtanzan" imperial tablet. Stone incense burner in front of the pavilion, about 1 m high, is a relic of the Jin Dynasty.
Dacheng Hall is the main hall of Confucius Temple, which was called "Wenxuan Wang Dian" in the Tang Dynasty. Dacheng was renamed Dacheng Hall because Song Huizong and Zhao Qian honored Confucius as "the masterpiece of ancient sages" and wrote this book. Dacheng Hall is not only magnificent and luxuriously decorated, but also the most famous Confucius Temple in China. In addition, there are ten carved dragon columns on the front eaves of this hall, which is unprecedented in court architecture, and even the dragon columns in the Forbidden City are dwarfed. It is said that whenever the emperor comes to offer sacrifices to Confucius, the dragon column should be wrapped in red wisps to prevent the emperor from finding out and committing the crime of decapitation. In the center of the hall is a statue of Confucius, flanked by statues of Sipei and twelve philosophers. The East-West Gallery in front of the temple was originally used by Confucius disciples and Confucian sages in past dynasties. Now it has been turned into a showroom, displaying inscriptions of past dynasties, and it is an artistic treasure house of calligraphy, painting and sculpture. There are 120 Ming Dynasty comic book stone carvings in Shengji Temple behind the Sleeping Hall, which record the deeds of Kong Yu. When the Lu wall behind the well of the old house was burned and buried by Qin Shihuang, the ninth generation Confucius Sun Kongbao collected The Book of Rites, The Analects of Confucius and The Book of Filial Piety. In order to commemorate Kong Bao's achievements in protecting ancient culture, people specially built this Lu wall.
A large number of stone tablets and stone carvings are displayed in the east and west halls of Shengji Temple, Ming Tombs Pavilion and Dacheng Hall. In particular, the Han stele preserved here is the largest in China, and there are also many treasures in previous dynasties. The number of steles is second only to Xi 'an stele forest, which is called the second stele forest in China.
