Taipei Confucius Temple 台北孔廟 - Taiwan

Taipei Confucius Temple 台北孔廟

While Guanyu is the god of war, Confucius (孔夫子) is considered the god of literature and wisdom. As confusing as his name sounds, Confucius is not exactly a “god.” It’s better to describe him as a great philosopher. However, since Confucianism deeply influences the Chinese-speaking world, it does feel like a religion in some ways. Sometimes people come here to wish for a good grades.

The standard structure of a Confucius temple includes a wall and a stage. The tall wall is a symbol of Confucius’s invincible wisdom. The stage is where students dance to celebrate Confucius’s birthday.

To get here take the MRT Red Line to Yuanshan Station then take exit no.2

The temple is plain compared to normal Chinese temples but that doesn’ make it any less interesting. The styling and history of this temple makes it well worth a visit.
