Question

   Who is the greatest teacher in China’s history? You can’t think of anyone else when you hear people read his 2500 - year - old saying, “ When I walk along with two others,I may be able to learn from them. ” Confucius is one of the most important persons in the history of China. Today,people remember him,celebrate his birthday and learn from him in different ways.

The oldest Confucius temple,in Pingyao County in Shanxi Province,was open to the public after a one - year renovation (改建）project on April 26th,2004.

The main building of the temple was built in 1163,and has a history of more than 840 years. Compared with other famous Confucius temples,it was built 248 years earlier than that in Beijing,and 317 years earlier than that in Qufu,Confucius’ hometown in Shandong Province. The temple in Qufu was added to the list of the World Cultural Heritages (遗产)in 1995.

Covering a total area of 40,000 square meters,the temple in Pingyao has 112 buildings. The temple once was used as a schoolyard for Pingyao Middle School since 1949. After a new school was completed,the middle school moved out. It was reported that the project cost a total of 32 million yuan.

As everyone knows,Confucius has been regarded as a pioneer in the field of education and temples worshipping him were built everywhere in ancient China,some of which are still kept today.
