During the Qingming Dynasty, peach red and willow green are not only a good time for people to travel out of Qingqing, but also a festival for people to go to the grave to sweep the grave and burn paper, send mourning, and remember the merits of the ancestors. As a teacher, he naturally had great respect for his grandfather Confucius, and he had long admired the former residence of this most holy ancestor, and his heart also had a strong interest in this concave-top tall old man who worked tirelessly everywhere. Confucianism has flourished in China's ideological culture for thousands of years, and the Kong family has become an extremely rare evergreen tree in Chinese politics. Qufu, the birthplace of Confucius, naturally satisfies our appetite and becomes the first choice for our excursions.
As soon as you enter the county seat of Qufu, you will find the government's precise positioning of the development of this ancient city. The entire county town is expanded according to the ancient city plan, and the streets are lined with antique antique buildings. Most of the buildings are two-storey layouts, with many signboards and business doors.
Walking to the south gate of the ancient city of Qufu Ming, you will see the towering towers, flying cornices and arches, the city walls are all green bricks, pheasants scales, and the buildings are winged. If the wide bridge on the moat is replaced by a suspension bridge, you will feel as if you are in an ancient battlefield, you seem to see the Sensen arrow inside the battlements of the female wall, and it is as if you see a great general outside the city gate prancing horse and knife, shouting.
Entering the city gate, we arrived at the Urn City, which is the outer city of Qufu Ancient City. Walking on The South Street of Gulou, you can feel the strong commercial atmosphere. Signs such as "Pot Potatoes" and "Business Hotel" dilute the ancient atmosphere of the ancient city.
Walk to the gate of Confucius House, you can see a large number of tourists. It was the Qingming Dynasty, and many people of the Kong clan came to pay homage to the worshippers, and the crowd was surging for a while. The gate of Confucius is magnificent, the stone lions on both sides are majestic, and one of the couplets is particularly eye-catching, the upper link is: with the national xian Xiu An Fu Honorable GongfuDi, of which the word "rich" has no point, meaning "rich and noble without head"; the lower link is: the same day and the old article Moral Saint's Home, of which the "chapter" word is vertical to the top, meaning "article through the heavens". There is a large plaque "Holy House" hanging high, showing a noble atmosphere.
Walking to the second gate (that is, the Yi Gate), I saw that there were two stone drums lined up on both sides, I heard people say that it was called "Door Dang", there were four wood carvings on the door, people called them "household pair", at this point, I suddenly understood the true meaning of "door to door". Confucius himself was constantly crowned by successive emperors, and the head of the Confucius family was also named "Yan Sheng Gong" and was respected by successive emperors. The Qianlong Emperor once married the princess to Kong Xianpei, the first head of the family in the world. The continuation of the Thousand Year Sect, the Yansi Yanqing, and the Yan Sheng Gong is a major event. Confucius's seventy-sixth grandson Kong Lingyi once married four wives and concubines before he had children.
Stepping into the door of the inner mansion of kongfu, on the wall of the narrow yongdao side, there is a stone trough, and there is a pipe through the wall to enter the inner house. After working as a water picker in the Confucius Mansion all his life, it is possible that he will not be able to see the female relatives of the Inner House of the Confucius House, but there is a step into the Inner House, that is, to be beaten to death with sticks, which shows the strict rules of the Confucius House.
In the inner house of The Confucius House, there is a covetous wall, painted with a greedy beast: shaped like a unicorn, greedy; raw and hungry, fond of swallowing, which is the admonition of the Yan Sheng Gong to wake up the family, no wonder the Kong family prospered in ancient and modern times, and the good family style also caused it.
Walking in the inner house, along the way carved beams and paintings, curved cloister, beautiful. I can't help but sigh in my heart, in the past, the prince Sen Yan's house, today's ordinary people travel, the last Yan Sheng Gong Kong Decheng died and did not want to bury the homeland, I don't know how he felt before he died?
Passing through the inner house, you enter the back garden and feel the depths of spring. Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, purple and red, and the fragrance is fragrant. Through the introduction, we saw the famous "Five Cypress Holding Locust", which is not the same species but has the same root, showing the symbol of the Kong family's fraternal and inclusive life.
At the exit of the back garden, there is a shadow wall, the name of the mural is called "Cotai Strip", on which is painted a road, strangely, wherever you go, this road seems to be facing you, the meaning is probably that the road is always at your feet. I guess it here, and I listen to it, believe it or not.

Before entering the Confucius Temple, you can see the surrounding walls, and the ancient green bricks have been eroded by the years, which makes it more and more obvious that the confucius has a long history. Opposite the south gate of the Confucius Temple, there is the south gate of the Qufu City Wall, on which there are four big characters "Wanling Palace Wall", although the height of the wall is not Wanling, but the scholarly articles of Confucius old master make the world look up to the mountains.
Walking into the Confucius Temple, the first stone square comes into view. There is a "Golden Sound and Jade Zhen" written by The Right Deputy Governor of the Imperial Household during the Ming Jiajing Dynasty, Yushi HuZong, to symbolize Confucius's holy virtue and the great achievement of the ancient sages.
Later, there was the Qianlong handwritten "Lingxing Gate", the celebration of the Lord of the Lingxing, and the sacrifice hole was like the honor of the heavens. It can be seen that confucius's position in ancient times was noble. After passing through the stone square of the "Holy Temple", you will arrive at the "Holy Time Gate". In the square in front of the door, the ancient cypress towering in the sky, the lush. Some are as thick as a few circumferences, and the bark is peeling off; Some pine knots are prominent, or shaped like children's heads, or like earlobes, I can't help but touch and touch, and I feel very strange in my heart.
Walk on the "Bishui Bridge", but see a bend of blue water meandering, there are several stone bridges lying on the waves, carved fence jade, Bishui to take the water of the Tianzi Xuegong, winding like Bibi, educating the people, flowing endlessly.
There are several stone stele in the Confucius Temple, and the characters on them have different fonts such as 楷, 立, 篆 and so on. The stone tablets stand there, the handwriting is mottled, they silently watch the vicissitudes of the world, each is a thick history.
In front of the Dacheng Hall, someone was worshipping. There are students studying, there are descendants of kong who worship the ancestors of the Qingming Dynasty, and there are also tourists who come from abroad. Inside the hall, there are stone carvings of the beast. Touching the head of the ao can symbolize that people "dominate the head". "Touch the tail of the ao, and the money comes like flowing water; Touch the neck of the ao and marry a wife as soon as possible; Touch the back of the ao, rich and expensive. I also took the opportunity to touch the smooth body. Sven is here, and my culture is also a little bit of this Sven atmosphere, want to be lucky!
A local old man told us that during the cultural catastrophe, the young intruders used several trucks to pull the cultural relics in the palace to the outside of Qufu City, which was a few days shorter. I don't know if these words are true, but I feel a lot of emotion in my heart! Piaf is guilty, what is the master's guilt?! Nowadays, the temple is also full of dazzling, but it is all modern calligraphy and paintings and some handicrafts, and the strong commercial atmosphere dilutes the thickness of some of the history of the Confucius Temple.

In the afternoon, we went to Konglin. At that time, many descendants of the Kong clan came to worship. Since Pyrotechnics is strictly forbidden in Konglin, some people burn paper money in the stone square of "Everlasting Changchun". I entered the "Sacred Forest" stone square and the Erlin Gate, but saw a river surrounding the cemetery, and this River of Sushui became the jade belt of Kong Lin, adding feng shui aura to the cemetery.
After crossing the Sooshui Bridge, there is a hall with a stone plaque on it, and the four characters of "WanshiShi Watch" are impressive. Walking through the main hall, there is a pavilion with a tree stump in the pavilion, and there is a stone stele in front of the pavilion, which reads "Zigong Hand Zhikai", which is also a good story of respecting the teacher.
After passing through the long tomb passage, I saw the tomb of Confucius's son Hou Kong Carp in Surabaya, and to the west was the "Tomb of King Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan". The tomb of Confucius has a pattern of "holding children and carrying grandchildren". Confucius's purpose, the tomb mound is tall, the ribbons are fluttering, and there are people prostrating in prayer. For this ancient saint, people are full of respect!
There are many tombs in the whole Kong Forest, and the descendants of the Kong clan can be buried in this treasure land of feng shui, or they should be grateful for the benefits of their old ancestors. With the merit of one person, he can even bless his descendants and grandchildren for thousands of years, and Confucius is really worthy of the first saint of eternity!
