Fu Xue, Yangzhou, across the Wenhe River, is a large-scale building complex. In the 13th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1585), Cai, the inspector of Huaiyan Salt, built Wenchang Pavilion in Xue Temple, which means to prosper Confucianism.
Jinwen Bridge is buried underground, while Wenchang Pavilion stands on the ground. Due to the war and historical vicissitudes, the huge buildings of the old Yangzhou Confucian Temple have been destroyed one after another, leaving only Yu Wenchang Pavilion in the world. Therefore, Wenchang Pavilion is listed as a municipal cultural relics protection unit in Yangzhou.

Yangzhou Wenchang Pavilion, located at the intersection of Wenhe Road and Wenchang Road, is a landmark building in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province. Wenchang Pavilion, built in the 13th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1585), belongs to the Fu Xue building complex in Yangzhou. On the old pavilion, there is a plaque of "Hanshu Shangshu". The Fuxue Building in Yangzhou was destroyed one after another, and only Wenchang Pavilion is left.
The existing Wenchang Pavilion is a three-story brick-wood structure with a pyramid roof, which is somewhat similar to the Hall of Prayer in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. The upper part is a global dome structure, which is rare in pavilions-style Confucius Temple buildings.
The three-layer double eaves shrink upward step by step to form an umbrella shape. After being sharpened, the top is closed with an Aquarius, and the top is an ellipsoid. Wenchang Pavilion is octagonal on the ground floor, surrounded by arches, which communicate with the street.
