Introduction:

Because of its special connection with the revered philosopher and educator Confucius, this group of monuments was the object of many rich donations from successive Imperial dynasties over more than two thousand years. As a result, its buildings represent the most exceptional examples of Chinese religious art and architecture over this long period. By its very nature as the home and burial place of Confucius, the Qufu group of monuments is unique.
