Abstract: Confucian temples are a unique spiritual and cultural symbol of the Chinese nation, as well as an important medium and
carrier for spreading Confucianism. The promotion of Confucianism as the core of cultural and educational settings is a political
practice of feudal dynasties to maintain the legitimacy and stable governance of political power, and also a spiritual bond that maintains the millennium old Chinese humanistic tradition between Hua （Chinese） and the Yi （outcomers）. "Hua and Yi" is essentially a cultural identity. In the border areas of Yunnan, the Chinese tradition has been able to continue and form a diverse cultural pattern, playing an important role in the Confucian cultural tradition centered around Confucian temples. As a memory field of excellent traditional Chinese culture, the Confucian temples serve as an important spatial foundation for cultural distance and mutual viewing. It is also a symbolic system that always carries Confucian ethics, which is the foundation of contemporary Confucian research. The cultural connotations and practical research value of Yunnan Confucian temples are of great significance for understanding the inheritance and development of Confucianism in Yunnan region, studying the interactive relationship between feudal dynasties and border ethnic areas in historical development, and how to build a sense of community for the Chinese nation.

Key words: relationship between outcomers and Chinese, the field of memory, Confucian temple, the sense of community for the
