"The temple, cemetery and family mansion of Confucius, the great
philosopher, politician and educator of the 6th–5th centuries B.C., are
located at Qufu, in Shandong Province. Built to commemorate him in 478
B.C., the temple has been destroyed and reconstructed over the
centuries; today it comprises more than 100 buildings. The cemetery
contains Confucius' tomb and the remains of more than 100,000 of his
descendants. The small house of the Kong family developed into a
gigantic aristocratic residence, of which 152 buildings remain. The Qufu
complex of monuments has retained its outstanding artistic and historic
character due to the devotion of successive Chinese emperors over more
than 2,000 years." -http://whc.unesco.org
