"These two cypress trees next to the Confucius Temple are the places I often go to paint. On the one hand, I got married in the house next to this tree. On the other hand, these two trees have been around for eight hundred years, and no matter how the surroundings change, they have always witnessed and are so vivid. For them, my record of over fifty years is just a short stroke."

According to Wang Guangqian, Deputy Director of the Jiading Museum, after hundreds of years of ups and downs, combined with the characteristics of traditional construction materials, the Jiading Confucian Temple has suffered from varying degrees of damage or deterioration in its architecture, such as leakage, mold, foundation sinking, beam flickering, and component detachment, seriously affecting its continued use and lifespan. According to the preservation characteristics of wooden structures in Jiangnan, in addition to daily maintenance, periodic major repairs are generally required.
