Zhuzi Temple Introduction
The Confucius Temple in Kinmen was established in the 26th year of the Kangxi Emperor (1687) and is located within Wujang Academy. In the 35th year of the Qianlong Emperor (1770), Magistrate Cheng Yu proposed to build a hall due to the academy's limited space, but the project was not completed due to his departure. Later, the gentry Huang Rushi purchased the site and transformed it into an academy, dedicating it to Zhuzi, Kuixing, Wenchang Dijun, Fude Zhengshen, and local scholars from Kinmen including Xu Sheng, Lu Dakui, Lin Xiyuan, Wang Lixing, Qiu Kui, and Xu Xie. In the 46th year of the Qianlong Emperor (1781), the original site of the academy was requisitioned for the county magistrate's office, and a new academy and Confucius Temple were constructed on the original site of the nearby Yixue.
