1. Construction time, background and relevant personnel.

When and where the Confucius Temple in Hangzhou was built is still inconclusive. The earliest record of Confucius Temple in Hangzhou was found in the Northern Song Dynasty, when it was called "the most holy Wenxuan King Temple". Fan Zhongyan in the Northern Song Dynasty said in the Table of Places for Acting Assistant Minister Hu to Play in Hangzhou: "Before Li Zi's tenure, Xuansheng Temple was rebuilt and dozens of learning halls were built. Open your face and allow him to be a Confucian official, which is enough to return to Yunshan to win. " The school's Official History of Hangzhou, Gan Long also has volume 10: "General examination documents, the first year of Yuanfeng in Hangzhou (1078), but it is called' Li Zi built Xuansheng Temple and founded the school'. According to the consultation, Hangzhou has been in Renzong Tiansheng for six years (1028), so it became a town of its own. As for the original site of the Confucius Temple in Hangzhou, according to Lin 'an Annals of the Southern Song Dynasty, "Wang Temple was declared to be the most holy, and the old one was in the south of the government", while Chun You Lin 'an Annals recorded that "the government ruled, and the old one was in the right of Phoenix Mountain, since the Tang Dynasty". It can be seen that the Confucius Temple in Hangzhou was built at the latest in the Northern Song Dynasty (1023- 1063), at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain.

2. Go through expansion or reconstruction.

Lin 'an official school experienced several expansions in the Southern Song Dynasty, especially two large-scale constructions. Once, in the ninth year of Jiading (12 16), professors Su Yuan and Huang Hao reported to the court because of the low terrain and narrow roads, and the court allowed them to go to war, erect halberds, stilts and colonnades, build halls, and set up halls and pavilions. On another occasion, in the sixth year of Chunyou (1246), two pieces of Song Lizong imperial books, Dacheng Hall, Yangyuantang and Thirteen Praises of Taoism, were carved and given to Lin 'an Fu Xue, which was rebuilt and expanded with the approval of the emperor. After the expansion, the official school in Lin 'an has a large scale, "explaining the foundation and worshipping Ning, looking at everything".

In the Yuan Dynasty, Gong Xue was called Temple Studies. After many disasters and reconstruction, the temple education in Hangzhou Road has finally formed the scale of "taking the temple as the center, learning in the west and instructors' department in the east", sometimes called "magnificent, and splendid view in the southeast".

In the Ming Dynasty, Temple Science was renamed Fu Xue. Local officials attach great importance to the reconstruction and expansion of official schools, and the regulation of official schools in Hangzhou is becoming more and more magnificent. According to the Records of Wanli Hangzhou, in the eighth year of Hongwu (1375), the county was founded, and the magistrate Wang De announced the reconstruction of the temple school. In the seventeenth year of Yongle (14 19), a fire broke out in the Confucius Temple in Hangzhou, leaving only Jimen. In the third year of Xuande (1428), the governor Xiong almost raised funds to rebuild. The reconstruction lasted for three years, "donations were made one after another, and the second time was new." The first auditorium, the second corridor, the second Minglun Hall, the second Chongwen Pavilion, the second hall and the Menyuyuan are all examples. "Jingtai four years (1453) to seven years (1456), please the governor Chen Xuanding to study the new temple. Confucius Temple has an auditorium in the middle, two wings and three front doors, so those who worship the temple have their own places. "In the 21st year of Chenghua (1485) and the 10th year of Hongzhi (1498), two large-scale constructions were carried out. In the 12th year of the main hall (15 17), the censor of the Song Dynasty handed over the stone carvings of imperial academy in the Southern Song Dynasty, such as Biao Zhong Bei and Thirteen Odes to Taoism, which were collected by the magistrate Liu Zhishu, and were carved by Li, which made the position of Hangzheng School more prominent.

In the Qing Dynasty, from Kangxi onwards, emperors of all dynasties awarded plaques to the Confucius Temple in Hangzhou for three years (1738). Emperor Qianlong specially ordered the Dacheng Hall of Confucius Temple in Hangzhou to be a yellow tile. Scholars in Zhejiang province also take it as a blessing to visit Hangzhou official school. Officials frequently repair official schools, and 15 large-scale construction.

At the end of 1970s, the provincial and municipal governments decided to completely repair Dacheng Hall. At the same time, they used a large number of ancient monuments originally collected in the Confucius Temple and scattered stone monuments discovered and collected in various places for many years to transform the Confucius Temple in Hangzhou into a forest of steles in Hangzhou. 1983, Hangzhou beilin construction project officially started. The maintenance project of Dacheng Hall was completed on 1986, and supporting buildings such as astronomical astrology hall, stele gallery and stele pavilion were built one after another.
