Description

The Fushun Confucius Temple 富顺文庙, built in 1044, is the only Confucius temple in the world with a naked Confucius image on the top of the roof. [link]

富顺文庙自北周武帝天和二年建县至北宋初年(567-960)的近400年间,由于地处边陲,僚汉杂居,盐业虽盛而文风未开。

  宋仁宗景祐三年(1036),朝廷选派太常博士名学者周延俊来富顺任知监,努力兴教化,办学校,培育士子。在他任职的第六年,即庆历二年(1042),富顺县终于出了第一个进士-李冕,全县士民无不欢欣庆幸。在周延俊的倡导下,人们集资于庆历四年(1044),在县城中心的南门,建成一座文庙,主供孔子,时称"文宣王庙"。并在庙内立石质"雁塔碑",以刻全县历次中试者的名字。此后,历任富顺知监,均热心教育事业,亲任儒学教授,常在从政之余,来庙内为生员讲课,于是文风大开。宋代在雁塔刻名的进士即有67人之多。[link]
