Abstract

In the Yuan Dynasty, the main institutions of Confucianism in Hangzhou were Hangzhou Confucianism, Qiantang Confucianism, Renhe Confucianism and West Lake Academy. The teaching area was often divided into the sacrificial area, the teaching area and the living area; the teaching buildings were arranged in the form of Left Temple & Right School or Front Temple & Rear School; The teaching was mainly based on the neo-confucianism of Cheng and Zhu, and the study of the Four Books and Five Classics was carried out step by step. These temple-schools in Hangzhou were under the jurisdiction of the Confucian Administration Department of Zhejiang Province and Department of Political Integrity in Western Zhejiang Province. The Confucian Education scale of Hangzhou City was the largest in western Zhejiang.
