After finishing the main part of the Confucius Temple, we were now at the back of the temple ground. While my husband went off looking for a toilet, I found a nice poet garden behind and wandered in to have a look. So far what I've seen in the temple so far is more or less what to be expected. But from here onwards, everything was just a pleasant surprise :)
A quiet part o the temple where most visitors seems to by pass. Perhaps it looked more like a staff quarters area. Later I did found some areas that are closed off to visitors. But the signs seems to say the place was only for family members. Seems like there are shines inside of perhaps scholars?
A cool information board on the Confucius Temple.
Lots of sitting bench to take a rest at, surrounded by trees and walls filled with Chinese poets.
Here are some of the shrines that were off limits to visitors and closed off.
After resting a while, we joint the usual visitor path and headed to what seems to be a hall of the 13 Confucius Classic.
More information here. I guess this would be a kind of library. Not surprising this is after all the center of Confucius.
Lots of information on these 13 classics. I guess I should one day go find our more about them? With the age of the internet, and now AI, it's a shame to leave these uncovered. So in case you would like to learn together with me, here is the Wiki page to read about it.
And so we enter the library next.....
