Although I have been to many Confucian temples in cities, and even to the Confucius Temple in Qufu, it is rare to have a "drunken westerly" like Shanghai Confucian Temple, right? It is not that the Confucian Temple in Shanghai does not respect Confucius, but compared to the book fragrance in the Confucian Temple, the fireworks outside the Confucian Temple are even more. The most indispensable thing on the whole Wenwen Temple Road is snacks, and various small commodities. It feels like a night market, and there are many popular snack bars. But you can't call them "net red" snacks, because they can be more years than the word "net red" and go in a little more, and you will see many shops around the sale of animation, which is also a major feature near the Confucian Temple. Hand-made model scenery blind box twisted eggs... various animation products You can find it. It was once called "Shanghai Akihabara". In fact, the goods are quite complete, but the price is not cheap. In addition, there is actually the largest book market in Shanghai. Various books and magazines teach and auxiliary comics, from retail to wholesale, are all available. This is quite a match with the Confucian Temple, but with the increasing decline of paper books and periodicals, this book market has long been closed, but it is not only the book market that has been closed. The recent Shanghai Confucian Temple has been paid attention to by everyone because of the demolition of the Confucian Temple area. Most of the snack bars on the Confucian Temple Road are closed. Although there are many animation shops that are still open, the popularity is not as good as before. As for the book market, it has long become the office of the demolition and collection firm. Of course, the Confucian Temple still needs to be retained. The only shops around the Confucian Temple are large and small. But because of this, the Shanghai Confucian Temple in the future may be just the Confucian Temple, and the only remaining market atmosphere has been moved. Since then, the Confucian Temple is just a temple...
The Confucian Temple is near the old city Xiangyu Garden, and the surrounding area is about to be demolished. The door of the old street is the road, and it instantly crosses to Shanghai 30 years ago. The surrounding animation store is suitable for post-80s and post-90s nostalgia. Farewell, the old city box.
