A Confucian temple is a place of worship where people show respect to Confucius and other figures of Confucianism. Confucianism is a folk religion in China and other East and Southeast Asian countries. It's history is more than 2,500 years.
In the past, these temples used to be where the imperial examination happened. This was in China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. They often included schools and other places for studying for them.
The birthplace of Confucius is Qufu, Shandong contains the Temple of Confucius. Inside is a very tall statue (72 meters) made of brass and strengthened with steel. This temple is the biggest and oldest Confucius temple in the world, and it is also a UNESCO world heritage site since 1994.
Temples dedicated to Confucius were built as more people honored him. In 195 BC, Han Gao Zu, who started the Han dynasty, paid respects to Confucius at his tomb in Qufu. People began to worship Confucius and his disciple Yan Hui at the Imperial University around 241.
In 454, the Liu Song dynasty in southern China built an important state Confucian temple. By 489, the Northern Wei built another Confucian temple in the capital, extending beyond Qufu in the north. In 630, the Tang dynasty made Confucian temples mandatory in schools across provinces and counties, spreading them throughout China. Notable Confucian shrines include those in Jianshui, Xi'an (now the Forest of Steles), Nanjing's Fuzi Miao, and Beijing's Confucian Temple, first established in 1302. The old Confucian Temple in Tianjin, near Traditional Culture Street, covers 32 acres and stands as the largest surviving group of traditional architecture buildings in Tianjin.
The biggest and oldest Temple of Confucius is in Qufu, Shandong Province of China, this is where Confucius was born. Duke Ai of the State of Lu ordered its establishment in 479 BC, a year after Confucius passed away. The temple grew larger over more than 2,000 years, becoming the huge complex it is today. Another temple exists in Quzhou. Other than state-linked Confucian temples, there were ancestral temples for the Kong lineage, buildings commemorating Confucius's accomplishments nationwide, and private temples within educational institutions.
Confucian temples, unlike Taoist or Buddhist ones, usually do not have statues. In the early years of the Qufu temple, the spirits of Confucius and his disciples were shown in wall paintings. Official temples included images of Confucius, but this was opposed as imitating Buddhist temples. The focus was argued to be on honoring Confucius's teachings rather than the man himself.
To solve the lack of uniformity in Confucius statues, Emperor Taizu of the Ming dynasty ordered that new Confucian temples should only have spirit tablets and no statues. In 1530, it was decided that existing images of Confucius in imperial temples should be replaced with spirit tablets. However, many modern Confucian temples still have statues, especially those run by Confucius's family descendants, like the one in Qufu.
Confucian worship mainly includes offering sacrifices to Confucius's spirit at the Confucian temple.
A dance called the Eight-Row Dance, originally the Six-Row Dance, is performed at these temples. The dance involves eight columns of eight dancers each and was granted to Confucius in 1477 as an imperial honor, given the title of king after his death. The accompanying musicians play yayue music.
Apart from honoring Confucius, Confucian temples also pay tribute to the "Four Correlates," the "Twelve Philosophers," and other disciples and scholars of Confucianism throughout history. The number and composition of figures worshipped changed over time, leading to controversy over which Confucians to enshrine. By the 20th century, there were 162 figures worshipped, including the Four Correlates (Yan Hui, Zeng Shen, Kong Ji, and Mencius) and the Twelve Philosophers.
As Confucian teachings spread across East Asia, temples dedicated to Confucius were built in Vietnam, Korea, and Japan. From the 18th century onwards, some temples even appeared in Europe and the Americas. At its peak, there were more than 3,000 Confucian temples globally.
In Korea's history, there were 362 Confucian temples. After World War II and the division of the country, those in the North transformed into centers of traditional culture (Gukjagam). Some of the 232 temples in the South continued their activities. Alongside Confucianism-focused temples, the Republic of Korea also has twelve Confucian family temples, two temples in private schools, and three libraries.
The first Confucian temple in Taiwan was the Taiwan Confucian Temple, built in Tainan in 1665 during the Tungning Kingdom. Another temple, the Taipei Confucius Temple, was constructed in Taipei in 1879, demolished in 1907, and rebuilt on Dalong Street from 1925 to 1939. Designed by Wang Yi-Shun, the new temple follows the typical Fujian temple style. Every year, on September 28, Confucius's birthday, the Shidian Ceremony takes place. There's also a Confucian temple in Zuoying District, Kaohsiung, completed in 1974 in the Northern Song architectural style. Additional Confucian temples are in Chiayi City, Taipei, Taichung, and Changhua County.
Confucian temples are also in Indonesia, known as "Churches of Confucius". Confucianism is a recognized religion in the country. The largest and oldest is Boen Bio temple in Surabaya, initially constructed in the city's Chinatown in 1883 and later moved in 1907. Reportedly, there are over 100 Confucianist halls of worship across Indonesia.
The first Confucian temple in Malaysia was built within the Chung Hwa Confucian School in Penang in the early 20th century.

Rashidun army
The Rashidun army, (The army of the Rightly Guided Caliphs), was a formidable military force that played a pivotal role in the early expansion of Islam and the establishment of the Rashidun Caliphate (632-661 CE). This highly disciplined and strategically adept army, composed primarily of Arab tribesmen, achieved remarkable victories against Byzantine and Sassanid empires, expanding Muslim rule from Arabia to Persia, North Africa, and parts of Central Asia.
The Rashidun army evolved from the early Muslim community in Medina. Initially, it relied on a tribal militia system, with each tribe contributing warriors based on its size and prominence. Over time, however, a more centralized and professional structure emerged, with a standing army and a system of taxation to support its upkeep. Cavalry formed the backbone of the army, known for its mobility and swiftness in desert warfare. Infantry played a crucial role in siege warfare and close-quarter combat.
The Rashidun army produced some of the most renowned military leaders in Islamic history, including Khalid ibn al-Walid, known as the "Sword of Allah," and Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah, a brilliant strategist. These commanders effectively utilised tactics like flanking manoeuvres, surprise attacks, and night raids, often outmanoeuvring their larger and better-equipped opponents.
The Rashidun army's conquests had a profound impact on the political and religious landscape of the 7th century. Their victories led to the decline of the Byzantine and Sassanid empires, paving the way for the spread of Islam and the establishment of a vast Muslim empire. The military techniques and organizational principles developed by the Rashidun army influenced subsequent Islamic military powers, while their legacy continues to be debated and studied by historians and military scholars.
The Rashidun Caliphate and its military achievements continue to capture the imagination centuries later. Here are some examples of how the Rashidun army has been portrayed in popular culture:
It's important to note that these portrayals often simplify or romanticize the complex historical realities of the Rashidun Caliphate and its military campaigns. They can also perpetuate stereotypes about Islamic history and culture. If you're interested in learning more about the Rashidun army, it's important to consult academic sources and diverse perspectives.

Surigao del Norte or the Province of Surigao del Norte, is a province of the Philippines in the Caraga region of Mindanao. Its capital is Surigao City. The province includes two main islands, Siargao and Bucas Grande, in the Philippine Sea, along with a small area at the northeastern tip of mainland Mindanao and other nearby minor islands. It shares borders with Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Sur.
As the second northernmost province in Mindanao, Surigao del Norte has a important role in commerce and transportation, serving as a hub between Visayas and Mindanao. Ferries regularly cross the Surigao Strait, connecting Surigao to Leyte and facilitating the transport of vehicles, goods, and passengers.
There are two possible meanings for the name "Surigao" based on different root words. One interpretation suggests it might come from "suligao" or "suyogao," which means "water current" in Visayan languages. The term is related to words like Sinulog, Sulu, and Tausug.
Another perspective is that it could be from the root word "sulig," meaning "sprout" or "spring up." In this case, Surigao may have originated from "suligao" ("spring water"), possibly referring to the Surigao River, known as "Suligaw" in Mandaya, which flows into the northern tip of Mindanao. Historical records mention the river's name as Suligao, Surigao, or Zurigan.
In 2020, Surigao del Norte had a population of 534,636 people, and the density was 270 inhabitants per square kilometer or 700 per square mile.
The residents are mainly of Austronesian descent, with some having Chinese, Arab, Spanish, and American ancestry, though the latter is a small percentage.
Around 95.80% of the population speaks Surigaonon as their primary language. Cebuano and Boholano are also spoken, along with a minority using Waray. Many people can communicate in Tagalog and English as secondary languages. Some individuals speak Kamayo, Manobo, Ilocano, Hiligaynon, Kapampangan, Maranao, Maguindanaon, and Tausug languages.
Religion-wise, Roman Catholicism is predominant, with around 60% adherence. Other religions include Iglesia Filipina Independiente (30%), Protestantism (10%) and Islam.
