The centuries-old legacy of Nanzong Confucius Temple in Zhejiang
Step into the Nanzong Confucius Temple, located in Quzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province. It stands as one of only two ancestral Confucius family temples in China – the other being in Qufu, east China's Shandong Province.
Its origins trace back to the Southern Song era (1127–1279). In the late 1120s, the 48th-generation descendant, Kong Duanyou, brought sacred ancestral portraits south with Emperor Song Gaozong and was granted residence in Quzhou. By 1136, the local prefectural school had become the family temple.
