Confucianism, also known as the thought of Confucius and Mencius, is revered by Confucian scholars of all generations. It is the mainstream cultural thought, philosophy and religious system that originated in China and has influenced and spread to other countries in the surrounding East Asian region.

  Since the establishment of the first Confucius Temple in Confucius' former residence in Qufu during the Warring States Period, Liu Bang of the early Han Dynasty visited Confucius in person as an emperor to show his respect for Confucius. In the following two thousand years, Confucius Temples have developed throughout China and many regions in East Asia, becoming the concrete embodiment of Confucius' thought, which is not only deeply embedded in the national system and national memory, but also lives on in the human world. In addition, since the fourth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, "all prefectures and county schools were ordered to build Confucius temples", and then the "temple and school integration" system was promoted and spread throughout the country. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, all prefectures, counties and cities across the country established official schools at all levels and built Confucius temples. At the same time, some academies, community schools and private schools also built temples to worship Confucius. This practice of connecting teaching, examinations with worshiping and worshipping Confucius became a basic national condition before China entered the modern era, and also constituted a very striking feature of traditional Chinese society.
