The Confucius Temple in Changhua was almost a national first-class monument that was demolished to cover shopping malls.
It was built in 1726, 4 years of the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng. The architecture of Zhangzhou style is slightly different from that of Tainan Confucian Temple.

In 1971, the Taiwan Provincial Government and Changhua County Government once planned to demolish the Confucian Temple and sell land to cover shopping malls. Later it was demolished for renovation due to local opposition.

Read more彰化孔子廟,又稱彰化孔廟,是位於臺灣彰化縣彰化市永福里的孔廟,雍正四年(1726年)由彰化縣知縣張縞倡建,建築為漳州風格,1983年被列為一級古蹟(國定古蹟)。 1890年代末,日人將鹿港國語傳習所遷移至彰化市區,以此廟為教育場所。1899年,臺中師範學校(今國立臺中教育大學)創建於此,以及孔廟兼任節孝祠管理人吳德功重置四神龕與諸儒牌位。1906年起,日人進行彰化市區改正,照牆、泮池、禮門、義路被拆,並填平泮池。1915年,原為國語傳習所的彰化公學校c]遷離孔廟。[2]
日本政府曾數度想拆遷此廟,但屢遭地方人士反對而作罷[6]。1933年,市民李程倡議重修戟門與大成門,經費二仟六佰八拾三元。其中李程捐資一仟元,總計募款一仟九佰六拾五元,另不足款由孔廟存款支應,由孔廟管理人李崇禮負責修護工程,事蹟載於重修戟門及櫺星門紀略碑[2]。 原先櫺星門前左右各有一棵榕樹對稱,但右側榕樹卻在2008年孔子誕辰當日被薔蜜颱風吹倒,影響廟景[25]。道光年間周璽所纂的《彰化縣志》之〈聖廟圖〉,已顯示該門上有六根通天柱,有說法是代表六藝[2]。
大成殿面寬五間,四面有走馬牆[24]。舞台有九階,比起臺南孔廟三階較高[23]。林衡道說清廷在建立彰化孔廟時,有意凌越明鄭建立的臺南孔廟,遂表現於規模上[1]。殿內梁柱大部分是紅檜之類高級原木[19]。屋頂為三重檐[23],屋脊兩端各有龍像遙望屋脊中央的小佛塔[g。殿前正中央的神桌h],左前腳刻有「乾隆三十年十月置」,右前腳刻有「彰化諸紳士仝立」,以榫卯工藝拼接製成,並施以紅漆、案腳頂部有雲頭裝飾,案角飾以陰刻之回紋[2]。
古蹟元清觀則離此孔廟約百公尺[2]。 《彰化縣志》紀錄此廟在春秋二季的上丁之日實施釋奠禮[2]。
秋祭釋奠9月28日時,先在崇聖祠祭祀,在大成殿行釋奠禮,分為啟扉、痤毛血、上香、迎神,繼行初獻、亞獻、終獻之禮,終行徹饌、送神之禮[30。民眾施金池自1975年,每年都參與指導協助祭孔,自2019年時參加時已九旬32]。...
