readx;

In 2004, when the Seoul renovation project began, Cheongdam Private School also underwent a large-scale renovation and reconstruction, and the entire campus was completely expanded and replanned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The north-south direction of the Qingtan School campus is centered on the Zhizhi Building, the Zhishan Building, and the Sincerity Building, and the three major teaching buildings of Xiaoyi Building, Erya Building, and Mingde Building are divided into three areas, and the canteen and student apartments are together, and the South Garden and the North Garden are interspersed among them.

The whole campus has a very comprehensive and highly automated water and power supply system, there is a free hot and cold water supply at specific locations, of course, the drinking water and tap water are separated, the drinking water system and water source are sponsored by Jeju Island Ice Spring for free, and we have every reason to believe that if it were in our time, the whole school would have been covered with wifi.

In front of all the large buildings, there is a white granite stone monument more than two meters high, surrounded by moire, with the name of the school building written on it, and will explain the reason, using the Xiaoyi Building as an example.

On the top of the stele is horizontally engraved the words of the primary school, and the lower part is vertically engraved with the large Chinese character of "Xiao Yi Lou", and there is Chinese pinyin on each word, and the left is the Korean text of the small one, marked with Roman pronunciation, and the rest of the layout is the origin - "filial piety, refers to the love for the parents; 悌 refers to the friendship of brothers and sisters. ”

This name comes from a sentence in the Analects: "Zi said: When a disciple enters, he is filial, and when he goes out, he is cautious and faithful, and he loves all people, and he is kind." If you have more than enough energy, you will learn the text. ”

This sentence is translated into Confucius's saying: "When disciples are in front of their parents, they are filial to their parents; When you go out, you must obey your teacher, be cautious in your words and deeds, be honest and trustworthy, be quiet, love everyone widely, and be close to those who are kind. After practicing in this way, if you still have the energy to spare, you will learn the literature knowledge again. ”

Confucius attached great importance to filial piety and believed that filial piety was the foundation of being a man and doing learning. This shows that Confucius's education is centered on moral education, focusing on cultivating students' moral cultivation, and the study of book knowledge is placed in the second place.

This is the philosophy of Cheongdam Private High School.

It also fully expresses the respect of Qingtan Private School for Confucian culture.

For a long time, Qingtan people have a glorious tradition of "respecting Confucianism and Confucius".

Not only that, but at the entrance of Cheongdam Private School, there is also a well-known "Confucian Temple".

Confucius Temple is a typical Chinese building, the octagonal pavilion of heavy wings, there are sixteen cornices of the upper and lower sizes, the blue bricks and black tiles are solemn and solemn, the shape is simple, heavy, the eaves are flat and short, the details are simple, the lower part is covered by sixteen black columns inside and outside, the left and right sides of the pavilion and the rear are covered with bamboo curtains, leaving only the front, among them is the sculpture of Confucius who is kind and kind and smiling, sitting on the desk and lecturing, behind him is a screen, there are three volumes of old bamboo slips on the stone and simple desk, which are the three classics of "Analects", "Spring and Autumn" and "Poems" carved by bambooAlthough there were no Analects at the time of Confucius's lifetime - this is just a symbolic meaning.

This statue was designed by An Yuxi himself, and his design concept was that Confucius and his old man should not be allowed to stand all the time...... It's obviously a little more comfortable to sit.

On the left and right lintels of the Confucian Temple, there are books on "self-denial and revenge", "be the best", and the blue plaque with cloud pattern trim hanging on the head is a thick four big characters - "Ten Thousand Masters Table".

Behind the Confucian Temple is a bell pavilion, which rings at nine o'clock every morning, and rings nine times, usually by the old principal himself, which he took the initiative to apply for after knowing that the school has this facility.

The edge of the Confucian ancestral hall is dotted with verdant bamboo, and there are two big trees planted in front of the ancestral hall, a pine tree and a cypress tree.

The meaning of "the year is cold and then knows that the pine and cypress are withered", the middle of the bluestone paving is a big bronze tripod, and there are three thumb-thick sacrificial incense sticks in the middle.

The green smoke curls up, conveying all the respect to the heavens.

Such a Confucian shrine was set up at the school gate to facilitate the worship of Confucius.

Every day, from the moment they enter the school gate, the atmosphere begins to become solemn, and the teachers and students who pass by in front of the Confucian Temple will also subconsciously slow down, lower the volume or close their mouths, and dare not laugh and play.

Even when going to school every day, every student who passes by the Confucian Temple will consciously bow forward to express their respect for Confucius.

Not only students, but also teachers are no exception, and in this way, from teachers to students, the concept of respecting teachers is imperceptible and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Before that, the first thing Xiao Jing did when she took An Yuxi into the school was to take her to the statue of Confucius and bow deeply, her little face full of piety - this has become a daily habit of Qingtan people.

In their hearts, it is normal to bow and salute, but it is not normal not to bow.

Here, today, people's hearts are shaken greatly.

After all, after so long in the snobbish dye vat of society, many people have lost their initial belief and the most basic awe, and have long ceased to believe in these ethereal things.

This is a cultural inheritance, a spiritual belief!

Cheongdam Private School holds a ceremony to worship the hole every year.

Sacrificing Confucius is a sacrificial ceremony to commemorate the birth of Confucius (the twenty-seventh day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar).

On that day, all the teachers and students of Cheongdam School wore Hanfu, and they paid attention - not Hanbok, but Hanfu, and performed a sacrificial ceremony for about an hour and a half under the auspices of the old principal.

The ceremony of sacrificing Confucius is very grand, mainly including music, song, dance, and ceremony, music, song, and dance are all carried out closely around the etiquette, and all the etiquette requirements are "must be abundant, must be clean, must be sincere, and must be respectful". The ceremony uses music and dance to express Confucian ideology and culture, vividly explains the meaning of "rites" in Confucius's doctrine, and expresses the ideas of "benevolence loves people" and "establishing people with courtesy", which has a strong ideological affinity, spiritual cohesion and artistic appeal, and plays an irreplaceable role in promoting excellent traditional culture.

The most important agenda of the sacrifice of Confucius is the three offerings, the chief priest must first dress and wash his hands before going to the Confucius incense table to bow on the incense, when bowing the man should be left hand in front, right hand in the back, female right hand in front, left hand in back. The so-called three offerings are divided into initial offerings, sub-offerings and final offerings.

The first offering of the silk jue, the silk is yellow silk, the jue refers to the antique wine cup, by the official will be enshrined to the incense case, the chief priest reads and offers the sacrificial text, and then all the participants bow to the statue of Confucius, and recite a certain work of Confucius. Both the sub-offering and the final offering are incense offerings and wine, and the sub-dedication officials and the final offering officials respectively offer incense and wine on the incense table, and the procedure is equivalent to the initial offering.

In addition, because there are Confucius disciples and other Confucian people who are worthy of sharing when sacrificing Confucius, these deserving people are also sacrificed when sacrificing Confucius. The ritual of sacrificing Confucius is called the right offering, and the ritual of sacrificing the person who is worthy of the enjoyment is called the sharing gift.

At the first festival in 2004, senior government officials and people from all walks of life such as President Roh Moo-hyun and Legislator Han Hee-myung were invited to watch the ceremony, and nearly 5,000 spectators came to watch the ceremony.

Nearly 3,000 teachers and students who participated in the festival were all dressed in one-color Hanfu and stood neatly, which was very spectacular, especially when more than 3,000 people recited Confucius's articles at the same time, which was shocking...... It was a large-scale, grand ceremony, and after the ceremony was broadcast live on KBS TV, it became famous throughout South Korea, and even had a huge impact on the cultural circles of Chinese mainland, Japan and Taiwan.

This is another sensational event since the news of the "World Heritage Application" of the Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea broke out.
