During the nearly 400 years from the establishment of the county in the second year of Tianhe in the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the early year of the Northern Song Dynasty (567-960), Fushun Confucian Temple was located in the border area where Liao and Han nationalities lived together. Although the salt industry is prosperous, the style of writing is not open. In the third year of Song Renzong Jingyou (1036), the imperial court sent Zhou Yanjun, a famous doctor and scholar from Taichang, to Fushun as an inspector, devoted himself to promoting education, running schools and training scholars. In the sixth year, that is, the second year of Li Qing (1042), Li Mian, the top scholar, finally came out of Fushun County, and the people of the county were happy. At the initiative of Zhou Yanjun, people raised funds in the fourth year of Li Qing (1044) and built a Confucian temple at the south gate of the county center, which was mainly used by Confucius and called "Wenxuan Jingmiao". There is a stone "Yanta Monument" in the temple, which is engraved with the names of all previous pilots in the county. Since then, all inspectors in Fushun have been enthusiastic about education and are pro-Confucian professors. They often come to the temple to give lectures to students after politics, so the style of writing is wide open. In Song Dynasty, there were as many as 67 Jinshi who carved their names in Yanta.
