Jianshui Confucius Temple was a very special attraction. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) and was the biggest Confucius Temple at that time. Now it is just behind the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong Province, in scale. The temple has a traditional Chinese construction style, facing south. It is 625 meters deep, covering an area of 18.78 acres, including 31 buildings. There is a memorial archway in front of the temple. Behind the archway lies a green lotus pool, which covers an area of 6.9 acres and ranks No.1 in the whole country. It is surrounded by red walls and a small pavilion.
　　The most unique part of the temple is called Dacheng Hall, a glazed-tiled temple that optimizes Confucian architecture of the period. In frond of the hall there are 22 screen doors, each of which is 3.5 meters high and 0.75 meter width, they are so exquisite to be considered as one of the finest works during the early Ming Dynasty. Inside the hall there hang six golden tablets inscribed by emperors of Ming and Qing Dynasties and a shrine to Confucius can also be found.

　　Constructed strictly in accordance with the style of Qufu Confucius Temple, Jianshui Confucius Temple is in palace-style, showing symmetry on the south-to-north axis with several independent buildings at both eastern and western sides. There are 37 main buildings in the temple, including one pond, one hall, one garret, two living houses, three pavilions, five gates, six memorial temples and eight archways. The temple is magnificent in appearance and well coordinated in structure, adding significant color to the state-level historical and cultural relics.
