Here are five reasons why you must visit the Imperial College before the exam

Here are five reasons why you must visit The Confucian Temple and the Imperial College Museum 📍The Confucian Temple, where Confucius, the foremost sage of Confucianism, is enshrined. This was a place where only royal scholars in ancient times could perform rituals.🙏 📍The Imperial College, formerly known as 'Taixue', was the highest level of educational institution run by the government in ancient times, serving as a national institution for training high officials for the court.👑 ✨Five must-visit reasons 1️⃣ Biyong, where the emperor lectured Emperors like Qianlong and others from the Qing dynasty lectured at Biyong, personally teaching civil and military officials. 2️⃣ Dacheng Hall, a smaller version of the Hall of Supreme Harmony The Dacheng Hall of the Confucian Temple, with nine bays and five rooms, features yellow glazed tiles and a gilded treasure roof, with golden dragons and imperial colored paintings, and an imperial plaque. Its regulations are second only to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City. 3️⃣ Glazed Archway, touch the dragon head🐉 The glazed archway of the Imperial College is one of the top ten glazed archways in Beijing, inscribed by Emperor Qianlong himself. Passing through the archway symbolizes 'the carp leaping over the dragon gate'🔥, remember to take big steps. Not far from the glazed archway, there is also a stone statue whose head has been polished bright by touch. Touch it for the exclusive right to the dragon head🐉 4️⃣ Find celebrities in the stele forest🔍, and share their good fortune The stele forest of the Confucian Temple is filled with the names of successful candidates from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, including many well-known figures such as Liu Yong, Ji Xiaolan, He Kun, and Li Hongzhang. Take a closer look in the stele forest. 📌TIPS Tickets are 30 yuan💰, but free🆓 with a Beijing union card And every Wednesday, the first 200 people are free🎟️
