One day in 1952, the great *** led a group of people to Qufu County, Shandong Province, to pay tribute to the world-famous Confucian Temple and Confucian Forest. This is the second time I have come here, and this time is different from the last time, because *** specially invited Confucius's descendant, Confucius Yu, as a tour guide. As the 72nd generation descendant of Confucius, Confucius is well versed in the historical inheritance and stories of the Confucius family. With a unique identity, he interprets the legends and wisdom of the past to the public and the public, and travels with everyone to share the oriental wisdom journey of this history.
** Throughout his life, he had a soft spot for the writings of Confucius, who he regarded as a great philosopher and thinker. In 1920, ** originally planned to go abroad, but in the end due to various reasons, the trip was canceled and he had to return to Shanghai. On the way back, he learned that he had passed through Qufu County and decided to visit Confucius temporarily. This was his first visit to the Confucian Temple, and he enjoyed reading Confucius's writings very much, and hoped to have a deeper understanding of Confucius's thoughts and teachings during this visit. Although he didn't expect to come here again at the time, his curiosity and admiration for Confucius did not diminish in the slightest. Many years later, in 1952, ** came to Qufu County again, this time as a national leader to inspect, and when the matter reached the ears of the leaders of Shandong Province, they immediately decided to hand over the task of tour guide to Confucius, in order to show the chairman their respect for the chairman and the importance of this important journey.
During the tour, when *** came to the area of the Confucian Temple, he suddenly decided to ask everyone a question: "Do you know what Confucius's surname is?"For a while, everyone replied: "The surname is Kong." However, **'s answer made everyone laugh and cry - "Wrong, wrong, Confucius is not surnamed Kong, but Zi." * surprised Confucius and the crowd because they had always thought that Confucius' surname was Kong. Explain that Confucius's surname is actually Zi, and Kong is just his name. There was a distinction between surnames and surnames in ancient times, with surnames often used to distinguish male surnames, while clans were used to distinguish female family clans. During matrilineal societies, people used their mother's surname to confirm their identity and family affiliation. After the patrilineal society replaced the matrilineal society, the clan gradually became integrated into the surname, and people began to use the surname to confirm their identity. Thus, Confucius's ancestors originally used the clan, and later over time, Confucius's ancestors changed their own clan to Zi as part of their surname and Kong as their surname. To sum up, the answer of ** not only reveals the true surname of Confucius, but also profoundly explains the evolution and role of surnames and surnames in ancient society.
Through the joint explanation of *** and Confucius, everyone has a clearer understanding of Confucius's surname. We can see that ** has studied Confucius very thoroughly, and he is not only interested in Confucius's writings, but also has an in-depth understanding of Confucius's family and history. This journey not only allowed *** and the others to better understand Confucius, but also deepened their understanding of Confucius's thought and wisdom.
Although there were some small accidents during the tour, such as the sudden sound of gunshots, this did not affect the safety and happiness of *** and everyone. Ignoring these small circumstances, he continued to share his stories and thoughts about Confucius with the public. He took a guided tour of the various attractions of the Temple of Confucius and saw the statues and tombstones of Confucius. ** Deeply respect the wisdom and contributions of Confucius, who believed that his ideas had a profound impact on the development of ancient Chinese culture and society, and was a great philosopher and educator.
This visit is not only of great significance to the individual, but also plays a positive role in promoting the inheritance and development of Chinese civilization. **Through visiting the Temple of Confucius and communicating with the descendants of Confucius, I further deepened my understanding of traditional Chinese culture and integrated it into my own thoughts and practices.
In the long years that followed, he always took the wisdom and thought of Confucius as his guide, and constantly enriched and developed his own theoretical system. He put forward the slogan of "fighting for private criticism and repair", opposing authoritarianism and dogmatism, and advocating the idea of letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, which made Chinese society undergo profound changes and development.
**'s admiration and visit to Confucius not only shows his importance and love for traditional Chinese culture, but also reflects his high opinion of Confucius and Confucius thought. He regarded Confucius as a prophet and teacher, and his wisdom and teachings were important inspiration and guidance for both the Chinese people and the world. It is precisely because of such a leader that Chinese society has been able to achieve unprecedented brilliant achievements in the integration of traditional culture and modern thought.
