Yesterday, we visited Qu Fu, Confucius' birthplace, approximately a 2 hr. drive from Jinan. Confucius was a philosopher and moral teacher, not a god; however, the Chinese venerate him as their most important teacher.(See statue below). At Qu Fu, a temple marks the memory and influence of this great man. All Chinese temples must have a well (see above). Red lanterns decorate the temple buildings.(Second below).
