| Confucius Shrine, Seong Gyun Gwan | |
Seonggyungwan is Korea's primary temple of Confucius ("munmyo" is also the general Korean term for a temple of Confucius). It is located in central Seoul, South Korea.
Munmyo houses a shrine to Confucius known as Daeseongjeon, or "Hall of Great Achievement." The Munmyo is based on Confucian practices from China, where Confucius and followers of his teachings were honored and venerated. Temples dedicated to Confucius and other disciples called "temples of Confucius" became widespread during the Tang dynasty.
