What is the story behind this dynamic symbol?

Cangjie, the ancestor of Chinese writing, is considered to be the founder of the invention of ancient Chinese characters, and is respected by later generations as "Cangjie Ancestor". With the memory and admiration of the ancestors, I came to the cemetery of "Cangjie Ancestor".

Coming here, the first thing that catches your eye is the white marble archway engraved with "the four seas look up together", and the momentum is extraordinary from afar, exquisite and magnificent!Behind the archway is the Cangjie Temple, in front of the temple there is a pair of white marble tables surrounded by coiled dragons, squatting on both sides of a pair of stone lions more than six feet high, sitting upright, the form is majestic!Entering the temple, there is a plaque inscribed by Zhu Xi in the Ming Dynasty "Chaotian Gate". There are two large monuments in Chaotianmen, tall and straight, all are standing stones during the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, the east side of the monument is engraved "the ancestor of the three religions", and the west side is engraved "the sect of all saints".

Behind the stele is "Yangsheng Gate", also weigh the door, a total of three buildings, rebuilt during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Through the heavy door, that is, the main hall, it is Cangjie that is enshrined inside, because there is "one person in ten thousand years" under the eaves in front of the palace, also known as one person in ten thousand ancient times, hanging plaque on the "Chinese ancestor".

The main hall is connected with the front and back of the worship hall and the main hall, the worship hall rolls the roof type, three rooms, the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen built in August of the fourth year. The two square stone pillars of the front eaves of the worship hall are supported, and the stone pillar carving is very exquisite. I saw that in the middle of the hall, the golden statue of Cangjie sat in it, surrounded by incense, Cangjie's four eyes were bright, the side was long, and the crown was drooping, just like the ancient emperor.

Next to the Cangjie Temple is the Cangjie Mausoleum, which faces the east and west of the Cangjie Temple. Cangjie Mausoleum is conical, surrounded by brick walls, and the perimeter of the mausoleum wall is 365 meters, symbolizing that there are 365 days in a year. The wall is bounded by brick stacks and is divided into 12 sections, meaning 12 months of the year. The length of the section is 3 meters, 31 meter or 28 meters, which means that the number of days in each month varies. It is true that everything in heaven and earth has a law to follow, and I have to praise the wisdom of the ancients!

It is rumored that there is a local Xi that when people visit the Cangling Tomb, they must climb the tomb and circumnavigate it for three weeks, saying that they can protect themselves from all diseases and their health is healthy.

There is a high platform cast behind the Cangjie Mausoleum, about 10 meters high, it is said to be the site of Cangjie word-making, there is a stone pier carved with "book-making platform" in front of the platform. There is an ancient pavilion on the platform, also known as the "Six Book Pavilion", which means the six Chinese characters of Cangjie to make characters. There is a "Spirit Turtle Negative Book Tablet" in the pavilion, and the tablet is engraved with the 28 Chinese characters and their interpretations originally made by Cangjie.

Today, writing has become an indispensable part of our lives, and although the historical authenticity of Cangjie is disputed, he has played an important role in the history of Chinese culture and writing. The Chinese characters he created laid the foundation for the later writing and cultural development of Chinese characters, and had a profound impact on Chinese culture and even world cultureWriting, it is no longer a simple symbol, but a civilization, an art, a thought, and a contribution and development to the progress of human civilization
