Everything was Confucius on that day:  Confucius Temple, mansions contributed to his descendants, and his family cemetery, all located at the famous county, his hometown: Qufu.  Now all of them have become cultural inheritance for all Chinese people. 

In China, temples are usually built for worshipping some deified figures, not for religious gods.  In terrestrial world, besides emperors, Confucius is the only person that is qualified to have the temple especially dedicated to him.  He was conferred a civil-king throughtout imperial China.  Though even emperors had to venerate him somehow, his descendants(the eldest sons born of the legal wilves) had never enjoyed real political power, except national offerings.  Now in Chinas Taiwan, the offerings are still valid, but in Chinas Mainland now I guess government wont stick to the traditional formalism but work harder to bolster Confucianism in every aspect.  (FYI, the temple comprises palaces, altars, pavillions, monuments of inscription, and so on.  The complex is so big that youve got to have a pair of strong legs to finish seeing them all.)

Since Confucius was venerated as a king, his descendants must have lived in the palaces similar to those of imperial ones.  Their mansions are, indeed.  Of course Confucius himself and his not remote descendants wouldnt have the opportunity of living there until his theories and teachings gained him the posthumous, unique stature in China.  Due to the long and complete pedigree of his family, it wasnt hard to let this primogeniture system work for thousands of years.  So the tour guide told us that the pedigree of Confucius clan may be the longest and most voluminous one in human history. 

So is the cemetery: the largest and longest single clan cemetery in the world.  Any deceased male members with last name Kong, who are directly descended from Confucius, are basically eligible to be buried here.  The cemetery in fact is a huge park because, except the graves of Confucius, his son, and grandson, almost all of the tombstones are "hidden" in the vast forest.  If you want to see them all, youve got to ride their in-park bus, for the area is too big for tourists to view on foot; besides, I guess Chinese people are not accustomed themselves to stroll leisurely along a cemetery.
