Urumqi Confucius Temple (simplified Chinese: 乌鲁木齐文庙; traditional Chinese: 烏魯木齊文廟), or Urumqi Confucian Temple,[1] is a Confucian temple located at No. 15, north side of Qianjin Road (前进路),[2] Tianshan District, Urumqi City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Built in the late Qing Dynasty, [3] Urumqi Confucius Temple is the only well-preserved Qing Dynasty style temple complex in Xinjiang,[4] and is the only remaining Confucian temple in Xinjiang.
History
Urumqi Confucius Temple was built on Culture Road (previously Confucius Temple Lane) in 1765-1767,[5] when the Qing Government expanded the Dihua New City (迪化新城, now Urumqi City).[6]
Originally known as the God Temple (上帝庙),[7] Urumqi Confucius Temple was rebuilt in the Eleventh year of the Republic of China (1922),[8] dedicated mainly to God and secondarily to Confucius.[9] In 1945, the main hall of the God Temple was rebuilt as the Confucius Dacheng Hall (孔子大成殿).[10]
Conservations
In 1979, Urumqi Confucius Temple was listed as a municipal-level cultural relic protection unit in Urumqi.[11]
In October 2019, Urumqi Confucius Temple was included as the eighth batch of the China's Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level.[12]
