It is also the location of Tianjin's earliest palace of learning. Palace of learning is an ancient government-run school.

The main buildings include the archway, the Wanren Palace Wall, the Pan Pool, the Lingxing Gate, the Dacheng Gate, the Dacheng Hall and the Chongsheng Temple. In 1954, the Confucian Temple was announced as a cultural relic protection unit in Tianjin, and in 1987 a special museum was established for its protection and utilization. Tianjin Confucian Temple was built in the first year of the Zhengtong Period of the Ming Dynasty (1436 AD). The history of the Confucian Temple is closely related to the development of Confucianism. In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to establish the Confucius Temple in the National Academy, thus determining the custom of "temple and school integration". Emperors of different dynasties followed this rule. The Ming Dynasty stipulated that all students must first pay homage to Confucius. Therefore, the Tianjin Confucian Temple was also built in the academy palace. The temple was built because of the academy. Since the establishment of the garrison and the construction of the city in 1404, Tianjin has not had a garrison school. In order to enable the children of the garrison to study, in 1436, more than 30 years after the establishment of the garrison, Zhu Sheng, the commander of the Tianjin Left Guard, donated his private residence to build a school palace and built the first "Tangzhai Gongsi", which is a Confucian school, also known as the garrison school. In the third year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1725 AD), Tianjin was changed from a garrison to a prefecture. In the ninth year of the Yongzheng reign (1731 AD), the prefecture was promoted to a prefecture, and Tianjin County was established. The prefecture school was changed to a prefecture school. In the twelfth year of the Yongzheng reign (1734), Governor Li Wei built a county school on the west side of the prefecture school, forming the adjacent layout of the "prefecture" and "county" schools. This architectural layout is unique in the country and is a unique landscape of the Tianjin Confucian Temple. In the 12th year of Emperor Yongzheng's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1734 AD), Governor Li Wei built a county temple on the west side of the Fu Temple. Its architectural layout is the same as that of the Fu Temple, but it is slightly smaller in scale. On the east side is the Fu Temple Minglun Hall, which was built in the 8th year of Emperor Hongzhi's reign in the Ming Dynasty (1495 AD) and was a place for lectures in ancient times. "Ming" means "to know or understand", and "lun" means the principle of "being a good person and understanding things". "Minglun" means to let people know the principles of being a good person and doing things, which is the concept advocated by the Confucian school. The Confucian Temple we see now has been preserved after many renovations and expansions in the Ming and Qing dynasties since its establishment in the first year of the Ming Dynasty. It has been protected by the People's Government after liberation. The magnificent ancient Confucian Temple, as a carrier of Chinese traditional culture, is a precious historical and cultural heritage of Tianjin. It can be said that in the 600-year history of Tianjin's establishment of Wei and city building, the Confucian Temple has become a symbol of Tianjin's urban cultural heritage, morality and style.
