Temple of Literature’s front gate

The gate opens onto three pathways which continues through the complex. The centre path was reserved for the monarch and above the center path there is a big bronze bell, The path to the left is for the administrative Mandarins and the path to the right is for military Mandarins. The interior of the site is divided into five courtyards. The first two courtyards are quiet areas with ancient trees and trimmed lawns, where scholars would relax away from the bustle of the outside world.
There are two small ponds on each side of the garden and three walking paths with meaning used in the past as follows: the middle one was for the king, the royal family and the great mandarins; two small paths on each side were for students and normal people.
