He established an education system for training in administrative and diplomatic arts. The system was later adapted as a central government examination system in selecting senior officers. For years, all students and scholars alike worked very hard for the annual examination in the hope that they might become senior officers in the government. There are still many temples in memory of Confucius in China and South Asian countries. Some of these places consist of a series of courtyards, surrounded by buildings in beautiful Chinese style.
Visitors can study many Confucian documents and works kept there.
Confucianism is not a religion. Warship of Confucianism can be seen in some of the temples but mainly as a form of memory and respect towards the scholar. Confucianism has no clergy leadership and it does not promote the believing in god or gods. The Confucian temples in China today are treated as historical rather than religious sites, and one seldom, if ever, finds worshipers there. Confucianism is viewed as a moral teaching and ethical humanism rather than as a religion.
