The Confucian temples are to commemorate Confucius and Confucian sages and philosophers. The largest and oldest Confucian temple was established in Qufu, Shandong in 479 B.C. The canonization of Confucianism in the Han dynasty led to the national temples that worship Confucius. In the Tang dynasty, it was decreed that schools in all provinces and subordinate counties should have a Confucian temple so Confucian temples spread throughout China. There are already many introductions and studies written by scholars on Confucius temples in Korea and Japan. On the other hand, the number of Confucius temples in Vietnam and their earliest construction time are similar to those in Taiwan. As for studies of Confucian temples in Vietnam, the academic circles have more interest in its architecture and Confucianism than the rituals. The Vietnamese Nôm Preservation Foundation is working with the National Library of Vietnam on a digitalization project of Hán- Nôm texts. They have published the Van Mieu Tu Dien in 56 pages. The contents of the document are very similar to related ceremony and history books in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Focused on the Van Mieu Tu Dien, this paper discusses the establishment of Confucian temples in Vietnam and compares sacrifice ceremonies in China and Vietnam described in studies of Confucian temple ceremonial books by officials and scholars in the Ming and Qing dynasties
