China
🎧 Listen to Introduction
Located in Qufu, Shandong Province, are the temple, cemetery, and family residence of Confucius, a great philosopher, statesman, and educator from the 6th and 5th centuries BC. Built in 478 BC in his honor, the temple has been destroyed and rebuilt over the centuries; today, it consists of more than 100 buildings. The Confucius Cemetery contains Confucius' tomb and the remains of more than 100,000 of his descendants. The small residence of the Confucius family grew into a sprawling aristocratic residence, 152 of which remain today. The Qufu complex has retained its outstanding artistic and historical features thanks to the careful construction of successive Chinese emperors over more than 2,000 years.
