定州文庙与北宋时期定州文教之发展

Dingzhou Confucian Temple and the Development of Culture and Education in Dingzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty

文庙是纪念与祭祀孔子的祠庙建筑,儒学思想作为中国古代官方意识形态的思想体系,它所确立的礼法制度是中国古代政治制度的根基。为展示儒学的重要价值,强化“独尊儒术”的地位,自西汉以来,历朝都有尊孔祭孔的传统,但史载直至唐朝才开始在全国陆续修建文庙以祭孔。“定州”这一行政区划正式出现也是在隋唐时期,作为北方重要的军事重镇和南北交通的要地,定州在大力发展武备之外,其文教事业也不断进步,文庙与州学的设立与发展即是最显著的体现。国内现存文庙建筑甚多,定州文庙作为河北省规模最大、保存最完整的祀孔建筑,对研究文庙建筑的布局、古代尊孔祭孔活动的开展以及华北地区儒学的发展,都具有非常重要的意义。
