Minglun Hall is mostly located in the main hall of ancient Confucian temples, academies, imperial schools and academic palaces, and is a place for reading, giving lectures, spreading knowledge and researching. It is a cultural and educational brand that has been passed down for thousands of years. It used to be a place where social elites with certain social status gave lectures and preached, and it also assumed the function of spreading culture and academic research. The word "bright future" comes from Mencius, "School, Xu and Zhou Yueyao; Learning is three generations of * * *, so it is clear that human relations are also clear, people are clear above, and the king is close below. " It means the name of the village-run local school, which was called "School" in Xia Dynasty, "Xu" in Shang Dynasty and "East" in Zhou Dynasty. As for state-run schools, that is, universities, they were all called "learning" in the three dynasties. Whether it is rural studies or Chinese studies, the purpose of * * * is to clarify and teach people to understand the ethical standards between people. This kind of ethical standard is understood by all social strata above the governors and doctors, and the ordinary people below will closely unite.

At least since the Song Dynasty, Confucian temples, academies, imperial academy and Gong Xue have all named lecture halls after Minglun Hall. In ancient China, where temples and learning were integrated, Confucius temples around the country were not only places for offering sacrifices to Confucius, the great sage, but also local official schools. Most local students will study in it. As the lecture hall of Ren Ming Lun, Mingluntang was a solemn and sacred lecture hall for the social elites who took part in the imperial examination at that time to acquire knowledge and wisdom. After ten years of cold window, scholars hope that they can reach the imperial court through the imperial examination and realize the social ideal of governing the country and leveling the world.
