Where is the seat of Taikang Nuo School (Confucius Temple)?

Taikang Nuo School (Confucian Temple) is a national key cultural relics protection unit.

Nuoxue in Taikang County, also known as the Confucian Temple, is located in Nuoxue Street, the county seat, with an area of 2,400 square meters. The establishment of the Han Dynasty was the cause of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty Hongwu county magistrate Wang was founded. Yongle two years, Xuande two years, Jingtai year, Chenghua seven years rebuilt. In the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, Lingxingmen was built, and in the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, the main hall was built, and 36 rooms in two temples were built, and statues of sages were carved. Chongzhen was destroyed by fire in the fifteenth year. In the fifth year of Qing Shunzhi, there were seven halls in Tianjian, five halls in Dongxi, three halls in Jimen and three halls in myna. In the first year of Kangxi, ten East and West pavilions were built. Originally, there were Banchi, Lingxingmen, Jiymen, Baidian, Dacheng and Chongshen Temple, which were arranged on the central axis from south to north. There are two archways, Chongde and Yucai, in Lingxingmen. Fifteen buildings were built on the east and west sides of Dacheng Hall. The whole building complex is compact in layout and rigorous in structure. With the passage of time, only the pilgrimage hall and Dacheng hall were left, which were rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. In 2006, the State Council, People's Republic of China (PRC) was declared as a national cultural relics protection unit.

The worship hall is five rooms wide and three rooms deep, resting on the top of the mountain with a single eaves. The roof slope is paved with grey tiles, and the roof ridge decoration is relatively complete. Erlong plays with beads and flowers. The vertical ridge is decorated with small animals, and the eaves are arched in five steps. There are few materials, but the production is very beautiful. Pope, there are carvings and paintings on his forehead. There are wooden flower boards on the mountain surface.

(2) Dacheng Hall

Dacheng Hall is the main hall of the Confucian Temple, built on a pedestal one meter high. In front of the temple is a spacious platform, and in front of the platform is a step with a Wolong stone embedded in the middle. Dacheng Hall is seven rooms wide and five rooms deep, both of which are well protected. The roof is the top of the mountain with double eaves, covered with green glazed tiles, and the roof is decorated completely. On the main ridge are flowers, two dragons playing with beads, figures, Aquarius, colored beads and elephant wheels. Big kiss at both ends. Glass lions, dogs, small animals and warriors are placed on vertical ridges and ridges. Under the eaves of the main hall, there is a five-level double arch. Pope Square, column forehead, birds decorated with dragons and phoenixes, flowers, hollow carving.

Dacheng Hall, the beam frame structure is from second-order beam to seventh-order beam. Qianwupo is a two-stage structure, which deepens the depth of the main hall, expands the space and produces magnificent and changeable effects, which is rare in ancient buildings in our province. Four-winged peach horns are tall and big, with southern style, which is rare in the Central Plains. The eaves columns and gold columns of Dacheng Hall are round wooden columns arranged in rows and columns. Under the column is a simple blue stone pillar foundation. The wooden waist bone is used about one meter below the east and west gables of the main hall, which has the function of preventing moisture and alkali. Most of the bricks above the wooden bone are completely exposed, and most of the bricks below the wooden bone are seriously exposed. This architectural style provides us with physical data of moisture and alkali prevention.

The Second Hall is also located on the dividing line between the two major structural systems in China, and its frame structure is a combination of the bucket-piercing type in the south and the beam-lifting type in the north, which is of great value to the study of the ancient architectural history of China and the cultural exchange between the north and the south.

The wood, stone and glass carvings and paintings of buildings have many themes, vivid images and exquisite techniques, which have important artistic value and high appreciation value.
