About Qufu
Qufu is a city in China's Shandong province, once the capital of Lu State (1042–249 B. C. ). It's known for being the hometown of Confucius, born nearby in 551 B. C. , and for sites associated with the Chinese philosopher. The Kong Miao (Confucius Temple) was established in 478 B. C. , with the current sprawling complex mostly dating from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
