Yujing City, Confucius Temple.
A 5A-level national scenic area, this is also one of Yujing City's most renowned attractions. The local cultural and tourism bureau hardly needs to advertise—it welcomes tens of millions of visitors every year.
"A single Jiangnan Examination Hall, a ten-mile Gilded River, fully embody the essence of Jiangnan."
Zhang Fan and his party arrived at Confucius Temple, unable to keep from sighing with emotion.
Six Dynasties' paradise, the elegant men in blue robes—a time when painted barges sailed the Gilded River, leaving behind countless legends of talented scholars and beautiful women, princes and ministers.
As for the Jiangnan Examination Hall, it monopolized half the literary fortune under heaven; most of the nation's prodigies hailed from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Even today, every year around the entrance exams, parents bring their children here to offer incense and pray for blessings.
