Built in the late Qing Dynasty, [3] Urumqi Confucius Temple is the only well-preserved Qing Dynasty style temple complex in Xinjiang,[4] and is the only remaining Confucian temple in Xinjiang.

## History

Urumqi Confucius Temple was built on Culture Road (previously Confucius Temple Lane) in 1765-1767,[5] when the Qing Government expanded the Dihua New City (迪化新城, now Urumqi City).[6]

Originally known as the God Temple (上帝庙),[7] Urumqi Confucius Temple was rebuilt in the Eleventh year of the Republic of China (1922),[8] dedicated mainly to God and secondarily to Confucius.[9] In 1945, the main hall of the God Temple was rebuilt as the Confucius Dacheng Hall (孔子大成殿).[10]

## Conservations

In 1979, Urumqi Confucius Temple was listed as a municipal-level cultural relic protection unit in Urumqi.[11]

In October 2019, Urumqi Confucius Temple was included as the eighth batch of the China's Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level.[12]
