Ancient architecture attracts us with its unique charm, and each dynasty shows a different charm. The wisdom of the ancients is fully reflected in these ingenious wooden buildings, and we can't help but marvel at their outstanding intelligence.
The setting of the garden is even more unique, which perfectly shows the artistic conception of the unity of nature and man, which is amazing.
In Qufu, Shandong, Kong Lin as"Three holes"One of them, its architectural setting is very ingenious, after more than 1,000 years of wind and frost, it can still protect the tomb of Confucius. There are no crows or other birds, and no snakes or other creatures have been found in the Konglin, which is very rare in large-scale garden buildings.
Why did Kong Lin survive the wind and frost, but it was able to remain intact? After digging deeper, you will once again marvel at the wisdom of the ancient sages. In order to achieve such an effect, it is necessary to start from the habits of birds and beasts.
This garden form will undoubtedly attract a large number of birds and reptiles, especially snakes that hide deep in the forest, so it can be difficult to prevent.
In order to maximize the protection of the tomb and avoid disturbing its resting place, careful consideration should be given to the arrangement of garden trees. Although birds and beasts love gardens, the smell of some trees is unpleasant to crows, and their colony does not come near these places.
Kong Lin, called"The Holy of Holies", which is surrounded by arborvitae and cayco, two trees whose smell makes crows uncomfortable, do not like to stay on this tree, so even if they fly closer, they take a detour.
In order to preserve the sanctity and integrity of the cemetery of Confucius, cinnabar and sulfur were used around the cemetery to repel snakes. This natural way of defense not only reflects the wisdom of the ancestors, but also makes Kong Lin's architectural design more unique.
As the resting place of the "sage" Confucius, Kong Lin is also particularly cautious and attentive in the choice of geographical location.
Although he did not achieve much in politics, Confucius, as the founder of Confucianism, had a profound influence, especially in the field of education.
It is his existence that makes it possible to cross the class gap that originally existed. He has a wide range of disciples, and with his unique educational philosophy, his students have achieved great success in all walks of life.
Therefore, the efforts of Confucius and his students brought Confucianism to its present heights. Since then, many dynasties have revered Confucianism, making it the mainstream ideology of feudal society, and the status of Confucianism has also risen.
After the death of Confucius, his students compiled his words of wisdom and created the Analects, a work that is regarded as a classic by the majority of young people. The students have a lot of respect for their teachers, and they attach great importance to the position of their teachers, which is today's Kong Lin.
Konglin is located in Qufu, Shandong, if you come to Qufu, you must visit the Confucian Mansion, Confucius Temple, and Confucius Forest, which is the consensus of all tourists.
The reverence of the literati in traditional Chinese culture, especially the exalted status of Confucius, makes tourists feel reverence when visiting. The hometown of Confucius contains a unique cultural charm, which is Confucius's edification and gift to this land.
After his death, his students carefully chose this sacred land as his resting place, as solemn as the ancient emperor's ritual of choosing his tomb.
Zigong believed that the influence of the teacher was not equal to that of the emperor. The glory of emperors is limited to the era in which they ruled, and dynastic change is an unchangeable fact. However, the teacher's teachings and ideas will forever nourish future generations on the land of China.
The students of the Confucius Institute unanimously agreed with him and decided to change the location of the tomb. In the end, they chose the location of the current Kong Lin.
Kong Lin's open layout shows the ingenuity of the designer. "Evergreen", implying that Confucius's thoughts will be passed on forever; "The Holy of Holies", is the supreme praise of Confucius.
Beneath this treasure of feng shui, the bones of Confucius are laid to rest, and the lush greenery around it, symbolizing the power of life, never ceases to accompany the sage.
The cycle of the four seasons may also symbolize the perseverance of Confucius's thought, and it will continue to be passed on.
Kong Lin is not only the resting place of Confucius, but also the collective cemetery of the descendants of Confucius, in which more than 100,000 people are buried, covering most of the members of Confucius's descendants. Kong Lin is unique in that it is the largest and most complete family cemetery in existence, showing the long history and profound heritage of the Kong family.
In the Temple of Confucius, you can see the stele detailing the relationship between the names and surnames of the descendants of Confucius, like a genealogy of the Confucian family, recording the existence of the descendants of Confucius.
Confucius's hometown - Kong Lin, far away from the hustle and bustle, quiet and peaceful, is the perfect combination of nature and human wisdom. There are no crows flying here in the Temple of Confucius, only the unique tranquility, which makes people feel deep admiration.
The outstanding achievements of the ancient people of our country in architecture, whether it is the mortise and tenon structure without a nail, or the ingenious integration of nature and humanity, have fully demonstrated the profound cultural heritage of our country.
As an important part of this cultural heritage, the existence of Confucius has made all later generations of students admire.
Choosing the location of the tomb requires a number of factors, including feng shui, and Kong Lin's location is unique. In terms of design, it perfectly blends humanity and nature.
Such a tranquil resting place provided Confucius and his descendants with eternal shelter from the interference of birds and beasts. Konglin is now a key protection unit, but as a tourist attraction, its very existence is a symbol of cultural and ideological inheritance.
The moment you step into this land, you can deeply feel its unique cultural heritage.
The endless stream of tourists, with pilgrimage-like piety, demonstrates the irreplaceable position of Confucius in the hearts of the Chinese. It is the profound accumulation of ancient culture and the inheritance of Confucius's teachings that have imprinted countless eternal memories and left a rich cultural heritage that continues to influence future generations.
