Xīncài

Xincai stands on the southern Henan plain, its name recalling the state of Cai. The county's Confucian temple and school had a history of rebuilding and relocation. Established outside the eastern gate in the early fourteenth century, the temple fell into ruin at the end of the Yuan and was rebuilt in 1378. In 1457 the school was moved across the road; another move was begun in 1517, although the work stopped when the magistrate left office.
