Tips

history
夫子 is a respectful Confucius title ('the Master'), so 夫子庙 = 'Temple of the Master.' Nanjing's Fuzimiao, founded 1034 on the north bank of the Qinhuai River, paired the temple with 江南贡院 - the largest imperial examination compound in Qing China, where 800,000+ cells once hosted the provincial jinshi exams.
