The Temple of Confucius is a temple complex in Beijing dedicated to the great philosopher Confucius.
When the Mongols conquered China, they only after a considerable time realized that it would be good for Chinese officials to be on their side. And then they presented to their new capital the Temple of Confucius, the predecessor of the present. The church acquired its present appearance only in 1906, when the doomed Qing dynasty decided to raise the authority of the cult of Confucius to oppose its influence of Christianity. The main project was larger than before, the sacrificial hall, completed only in 1916, after the fall of the dynasty. I hope it helps you!!!
