This temple is getting more and more elaborate by the year. It's pretty hilarious. There are many claims that from Confucius the Chinese learned to do unto others as they would have done unto themselves. There's a whole display featuring a merchant's shop, complete with merchant mannequin, who is carefully and honestly measuring out something or other with a scale. The sign says that all merchants are honest and would never, ever rip you off. Lovely in principle, but I wish I'd seen a practical application of this philosophy.
