The Forest of Stone Tablets Museum, a beautifully preserved courtyard-style complex, is located at the site of the Confucian Temple on Sanxue Street, Xi’an. Originally serving as the Imperial Ancestral Temple during the Tang Dynasty, it was later repurposed as a Confucian Temple in the Song Dynasty. In 1950, the site was expanded into the museum we see today, housing one of China’s most extensive collections of ancient stone inscriptions and calligraphy.
Unlike most traditional structures that face south, the museum’s two gates are uniquely positioned east and west—a design characteristic of all Confucian temples. The East Gate is known as the "Gate of Courtesy," while the West Gate is called the "Gate of Righteousness," reflecting the core values of Confucian philosophy.
