Chapter 200: The Pursuit of the New Millennium (16)
After resting in Lian (lyg) Yungang for another day, until Yu'er felt completely recovered, Fang Bin drove her to Qu (cf) Fu.
"Madam, Qu (cf) Fu was the capital of the Lu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, right? Confucius's hometown, the land of etiquette and music, can be regarded as a thousand-year-old city, right? Fang Bin asked with a grin.
"That's it!" Yu'er smiled and said: "Qu (cf) Fu is located in the southwest of the eastern province of Shanshan (SD), with Taidai in the north, Yi (F) Yi in the south, Yi (YM) Mengqun Mountains in the east, thousands of plains in the west, Si (SS) water in the north, and Yi (Y) Henan Belt, with fertile land and abundant products; It is the center of the ancient Dongyi tribe residence, the main area of Dawen (DWK) mouth culture and dragon (ls) mountain culture, and it is also the state of ritual and music in the east of the Zhou Dynasty, Confucius was born in Nishan, grew up in Que (CL), set up in Xingtan, came out of Ludu, and was buried in Si (SS), leaving many relics of activities in Qu (CF) Fu. ”
"Hmmm! I remember that Confucius set up an altar in Qu (CF) to accept apprentices and give lectures, right? He created a thousand-year-old teacher style of the Chinese nation and became the ancestor of all generations. Fang Bin smiled: "Today we will also go to worship the Holy Master!" ”
"Yes, Qu (cf) Fu was the state of ritual and music in the east of the Zhou Dynasty, which provided a rich foundation for the emergence of Confucianism. Confucius, who grew up under the guidance of this unique environment of etiquette, was diligent and thoughtful, tireless, rigorous in his studies, and strict in his body. At the beginning of the 14 years of traveling around the world, after concentrating on study, gathering disciples to give lectures, "poems", "books", "rituals", "music", "repair" "Spring and Autumn", a comprehensive collation of ancient Chinese literature, and training 3,000 disciples, 72 people who are proficient in the six arts (rites, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, and mathematics), accumulated a lifetime of skill, founded and spread Confucianism in Qu (CF) Fu. Yu'er is an associate professor studying Chinese. I am very interested in classical literature and tourism geography, and I am also very proficient, and my memory is good. A talented woman always makes people feel deep and respectful.
"Hehe, then let's take a good look here and bathe in the wisdom of the ancients." Fang Bin grinned. A few hours later. Che Jinqu (CF) Fu. Look at it from afar. The city wall is several meters high, and the small city with yellow walls and yellow tiles surrounds the green trees, and the bright yellow city is covered by green. It feels bright and beautiful, elegant and natural, which makes people shine. In ancient times, yellow was the exclusive color of the royal family, but most of the emperors of the past dynasties respected Confucius and revered Confucius as a saint, and specially allowed the use of yellow in Confucian buildings.
After entering the city, the two of them found a clean and tidy small hotel to live in. Because the curly (cf) mons is small. There are not many big hotels and hotels, but fortunately, the people here are simple, the citizens are warm and thoughtful, and the county is also very refreshing and tidy, antique.
Eaten. After taking a shower, the two of them went to wander hand in hand, and parked the car in the courtyard of the small hotel.
"Do you want a car?" Just out of the small hotel not far away, a few rickshaws drove over, with yellow roofs and open doors, which can seat two people.
"How much does it cost to go to the Confucian Mansion?" Fang Bin beckoned an older driver and said.
"Five-five dollars!" The old coachman hesitated a little, not knowing whether his price was high or low, Fang Bin didn't care, seeing this old man who was the same age as his father, he felt sorry for him, took care of him, and pulled Yu'er into the car. This is a bicycle-like means of transportation, but the passenger seat is in the front, slightly lower, the driver is in the back, slightly higher, the old man holds the "n" handrail, bends his waist, and pedals hard together, and the scenery on the streets on both sides is unobstructed.
Let's go to Confucius Mansion first.
"The Confucian Mansion is known as the first in the world, and it is the largest and most luxurious feudal aristocratic mansion in China; Founded in the Song Dynasty, it has undergone continuous expansion through various generations to form the current scale; It is not only the place where the eldest son and eldest grandson of Confucius lived in the past dynasties, but also a typical feudal aristocratic manor where the government and the government are integrated. Since the Han Dynasty, the imperial courts of all dynasties have respected Confucius very much, so they have also favored his descendants and have many gifts. Yu'er took the man's hand, bought the ticket, stepped into the door of the mansion, and explained while walking: "The Confucian Mansion covers an area of more than 200 acres, with hundreds of halls, halls, buildings, pavilions and other buildings, which are divided into three road layouts: middle, east and west. The Jiujin courtyard is the largest mansion after the palace of the Ming and Qing emperors. The east road is the East School, which is the Confucian family temple or the reception of the imperial court's ministers, etc.; The west road is the place for Western learning, which is the place where the descendants of Confucius Yan Sheng Gongxue study poetry and rituals; The middle road is the main building complex of the Confucian Mansion, imitating the system of the six departments of the imperial court, the former is the official office, with three halls and six halls: that is, the lobby, the second hall, the third hall, the Guan Gou Hall, the Hundred Households Hall, the Zhiyin Hall, the Palm Book Hall, the Classics Hall, the Si Le Hall, etc. In the back of the inner house, there is a front upper room, a front hall building, a back hall building, etc., and finally the garden of the Confucian Mansion. ”
At the gate of the Confucian Mansion, read the couplet in front of the gate: "With the country Xianxiu, Anfu, and the honorable mansion, the same day and the old article moral saint's family." Yu'er said with a smile: "If you look carefully, is the word 'rich' a little less, and the word 'chapter' is not 'early' but 'ten' wearing 'day'?" ”
"What's going on?" Fang Bin raised his head and looked at it carefully, it was really the case.
"'Rich' can't come out, and the word rich comes out and the poor are cut off; the word 'ten' under the 'chapter' wears the word 'day' to say that the Confucian family's articles are good and soaring to the sky. Legend has a story that is very evocative, it not only admonishes the descendants of Confucius, but also warns the world that when you are rich, you must think of the poor people in the world, and you should do a sky-high article when you write an essay to mean that you must do things perfectly. Yu'er held the man's hand and said with a smile that she was very satisfied with explaining to her beloved man, both enjoying it very much and having a sense of accomplishment, and she never got tired of it.
"Hehe, such a prominent family also has concerns? In my opinion, the Confucian Mansion is like a small court! Fang Bin grinned, while watching and walking, many visitors in front of a closed door with the door god to take pictures, the tour guide said that the light door, only the emperor came to open, and also said that when the beloved general (zl) Li came, the door opened, but the general (zl) Li did not pass from it, but bypassed from the side, which shows that the total (zl) is careful and careful, careful and cautious; In the nineties, when another general (zsj) book (sj) came, this door opened, and he passed through it; In history, only Emperor Yongzheng walked through this gate. Nowadays, ordinary residents can only take pictures in front of the door, Yu'er gave Fang Bin in the center of the lobby a painting of flowing clouds, eight treasures warm pavilion, in the middle of the Taishi chair, draped with a spotted tiger skin, in front of the chair narrow and tall red lacquer public case, placed in the study of the four treasures, printing boxes, signs and other tools, took a lot of pictures.
"Perhaps, we can get a little bit of mercenary light. Let Confucius bless our son and become a literary star. Fang Bin grinned, Yu'er pursed her lips and smiled.
Then follow the guide to the side of a long corridor, there are long red lacquered wooden benches and chairs on both sides of the corridor, some tired tourists just want to sit down and rest, the tour guide immediately said: "Don't sit, this is a cold bench." Sit, and the luck of your life will be ruined! It is rumored that when Yan Song, a powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty, was about to be impeached, he went to the Confucian Mansion to ask his grandson-in-law Yan Shenggong to intercede with the emperor. The master of the Confucian Mansion did not allow it. This stool was the thing that Yan Ge was waiting for. Therefore. It is also known as a 'cold bench'. It is best not to try to sit on this stool when you go to the second hall of Confucius. Frightened all the tourists who walked with sore feet and weak legs did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, but a few ignorant children, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, sat on it with a smile.
Come to the last entry. It's the back garden. There are rockeries, fish ponds, flower docks, bamboo forests, bonsai and so on in the park.
"See? That tree, commonly known as the five cypress locusts, refers to five cypress trees growing together, but in the middle is an ancient locust tree. In the green bushes of the woods, Yu'er put her arm around Fang Bin and pointed to the bushes not far away.
"Really?" Fang Bin took Yu'er's hand and walked away, as he said. While walking, I looked at the collection in the Confucian Mansion. and then transferred to Kong Lin.
Konglin is the exclusive cemetery of the Confucius family, and it is also the world's longest-running, largest and most intact family tomb group. Entering the cemetery, a large sea of lilac flowers greeted you, and you can see the boundlessness from afar; Various types of trees such as cypress, cypress, oak, elm, acacia and Kai of different shapes are intertwined, competing for strangeness. It is said that there are more than 20,000 ancient trees, and they are competing in this ten thousand trees. In the Confucian forest covered by a hundred flowers, the stele stone stands in a forest, the stone instrument is in a group, there are still more than 40 buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties such as the palace, the door, the fang, the pavilion, etc., there are more than 3,600 tombstones inscribed by the famous calligraphers such as Weng Fanggang in the Ming Dynasty and Yan Song and Weng Fanggang in the Qing Dynasty, He Shaoji, Kang (K) Youwei, so it can be said that the Confucian Forest is also a veritable stele forest.
"Here is the cemetery of Confucius and his successors, let's go and see the tomb of Confucius first." Yu'er took the man's hand and came to the tomb of Confucius. The tomb is surrounded by red walls, and the tomb resembles a raised horse's back, which is a special and noble form of tomb building. In front of the tomb, there is an incense burner and an offering table and two steles made of Mount Tai sealed Zen stone. The small stele is the Song stele, it is the earliest stele in front of the tomb of Confucius, it was erected in 1244, the stele is written in the seal book "Xuansheng Stele" three words, and the other huge stele is on the seal book "Dacheng to the Holy Wenxuan King Tomb", it is the Ming orthodoxy eight years (1443) to stand up, the famous calligrapher Huang Yangzheng book.
"Come, let's pay a visit to the old master!" Fang Bin took Yu'er, knelt down in front of the tomb of Confucius, kowtowed three times respectfully, and recited words in his mouth. After the silent prayer, pass through the tomb of Kong Li, which "carries children and grandchildren", and then focus on visiting the Confucian Temple.
The Confucian temple is the temple of worshiping Confucius, it is a group of ancient buildings with typical oriental colors, covers an area of more than 300 acres, the courtyard of the nine systems before and after, runs through the north and south central axis, there are nearly 500 halls and pavilions, more than 50 doors, among them, there are five halls, two temples, one pavilion, one altar, three ancestral halls, two halls, two fasts. The main building Dacheng Hall and the North (BJ) Beijing Forbidden City Taihe Palace, Dai Temple and Tianzhen Hall are called the three major halls of China. Both sides of the Shinto are very neat ancient trees, passing through the "Ten Thousand Palace Wall", you can see the archway of "Jin Shengyu Zhen", followed by the "Lingxing Gate". In the temple, all kinds of ancient trees are very attractive, most of them are very tall and thick, they have a history of more than two hundred years, some or thousands of years, there is a "ancestor hand planting cypress", divided into two halves, it seems that one side is the dragon's head and the other is the dragon's tail, many tourists go up to touch the dragon tree, the trunk has been touched bright and smooth.
"Hehe, this family temple is too luxurious and magnificent, it's really royal!" Walking into the inner courtyard of the Confucian Temple, you can see the ancient pines and cypresses in the courtyard, the temple is carved and the beams are painted, and the golden wall is brilliant. There is also a small bridge flowing water, and the birds are spinning low, like an ancient picture, Fang Bin said with a sigh.
"Of course!" Yu'er grinned: "Didn't you see Confucius in front of the tomb just now, calling him King Wenxuan?" The Confucian Mansion and the royal family are one, one is lost, and one is prosperous! However, this is also mutually beneficial, the royal family gave Confucius the honor of surpassing the imperial relatives, and at the same time, because of Confucianism, it attracted the scholars of all dynasties in the world, concentrating on the old papers, emphasizing obedience, ignoring individuality, suppressing the creativity of the people, foolish loyalty and filial piety, putting forward the three outlines and five constants, solidifying the ethical relationship, strengthening the hierarchy, restricting the way of thinking and lifestyle of the whole nation, thereby delaying or even restricting the development of natural science and science and technology, which directly led to the humiliating history of the Chinese nation in the past hundred years in modern times, this crime is really unrelentable! ”
"Hmm!" Speaking of the century-old humiliation of the modern nation, Fang Bin was also uneasy, "The past is over!" However, Confucius advocated teaching students according to their aptitude, teaching without class, paying attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality, pursuing truth and goodness, emphasizing the rule of etiquette, which still has its positive role in integrating national consciousness, forming a unified Chinese culture, being loyal to the monarch and patriotism, sympathetic to the people, resisting foreign aggression, and so on. ”
"Hee-hee-" Yu'er hung the man's arm, tilted her head and smiled charmingly: "You? As long as it is related to you, whether it is a friend, a related company industry, or an ancestral history, you will maintain it! ”
"Of course!" Fang Bin grinned: "If a country and a nation devalue their history to nothing, it is not conducive to the centripetal force of the nation!" ”
"Hee-hee-" Yu'er sneered, "Let's not worry about the ancients, right?" Go feed our bellies first! ”
