Ningyuan Confucian Temple, located in Shunling Town, ningyuan county City, Hunan Province, is called "national treasure" by people in the south of Ningyuan County.

The layout of Ningyuan Confucian Temple is very standard, and the buildings are symmetrically arranged with the front garden and the back garden as the central axis. Have clear priorities. Chi Pan, Jixingmen, Dachengmen, Dacheng Hall and Kaisi are in turn on the middle silk line from south to north. On the left and right sides are Dengsheng Square, Buxian Square, Tengjiao Gate, Qifeng Gate, Minghuan Hall, Xiangxian Hall, Minglun Hall (now a classroom), Zunjing Pavilion (library) and other buildings. The building is magnificent and elegant, and the brushwork in the park is full.
The essence of Ningyuan Confucian Temple is nothing more than stone carving. Relief, round carving and carving are all available. In front of Dacheng Hall, Danyong was engraved with the five dragons relief. At first glance, its waves fluctuate, appearing and disappearing, as if splashing and rippling.
The 20 square stone carvings around Qingshiping Terrace are carved with various forms of birds and animals, standing or sitting, ascending or descending, or flying in pairs, colorful and wonderful.
Among all the stone carving arts, 20 dragon, phoenix and blue stone pillars are particularly eye-catching. These stone pillars are about 100 meters high and 40 centimeters in diameter. Look at that dragon, bared his teeth, as if crossing the river. Look at that phoenix, flying high, with a gentle blow of intuition.
