About The Project
This is a 1:1 scale replica of the Temple of Confucius dated to 1745.CE. It's the main temple of worship for Confucian teachings in Beijing and still stands to this day. Its located to the old Imperial Academy which is currently part of the range of architectural museums in present day Beijing City.
The temple of Confucius will also be showcased inside the Project 1845 documentary film due for release during 2013-2014.
The Future
Once completed I will release a schematic of an element of the project for public download.

About Confucius
Confucius (551o 479 BC) was a Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn Period of Chinese history. The philosophy of Confucius emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity
Confucius's principles had a basis in common Chinese tradition and belief. He championed strong family loyalty, ancestor worship and respect of elders by their children. He espoused the well-known principle "Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself", an early version of the Golden Rule.
Confucius's teachings were later turned into an elaborate set of rules and practices by his numerous disciples and followers, who organized his teachings into the Analects. Confucius' disciples and his only grandson, Zisi, continued his philosophical school after his death. These efforts spread Confucian ideals to students who then became officials in many of the royal courts in China, thereby giving Confucianism the first wide-scale test of its dogma.
