305. Feel the three-hole land of Confucianism

The two of them drove to the edge of the Huai River at twelve o'clock in the night, Xu Le looked at Tu Mountain not far away, and finally did not pass, just stood on the edge of the Huai River and kept swallowing the swallowing fluid, that kind of rich breath wrapped himself and Zhong Quan, Zhong Quan has now completely refined those blood gas, this time with Xu Le, he really couldn't suppress it, he felt that he was almost at the fixed point and couldn't hold back, but he was still constantly compressing all kinds of breath, Xu Le could also feel that he wanted to rush to the high level of the inner abdomen realm, and even to the Wheel Sea realm, But he didn't say yes!

For an hour, Xu Le did not delay and continued to move forward, and then passed through Suzhou, entered Xuzhou, the starry night did not stop, and came to the shore of Weishan Lake at more than six o'clock, the two immediately got off the car and exercised, Xu Le absorbed the faint water vapor of Weishan Lake, so that Zhong Quan was refreshed again, but he still let Zhong Quan take a break, drove by himself, and finally arrived at the door of the Confucius Temple in Qufu at half past eight, and a tall and strong young man stood at the ticket sale!

Xu Le threw Ruo to Zhong Quan, asked him to help him take the bag and Guan Mu and walked over!

Guangran saw a luxury car parked not far away, saw two people down, and there was no one in the entire parking lot, and there was not a single car, and it was closed today!

Xu Le knew that Guangran would find a way, and the one at Qilu University who specialized in Confucianism would have nothing to do with this? Besides, he really doesn't make himself, it's just that he is troublesome!

Guang Ran saw the man who was running towards him, dressed in a Taoist uniform and bearded, and cried out at once!

Running towards Xu Le quickly, "squad leader"!

The two of them hugged each other heavily, "squad leader"!

Xu Le patted Guangran's back, "Why are the old men still like this!"

He felt Guangran's body temperature, "It's early, I'm sorry!" smiled very apologetically, "Do you have time today, accompany me to Chengzi Cliff after reading this, and chat together in the evening, how about it?"

Xu Le left the whole day here!

"No problem, you can live here in the future"! Guang Ran laughed and said, in fact, Guang Ran has opinions about Xu Le, mainly about Zhuoma, but now he also knows Xu Le's situation, and he is also very helpless, so he didn't say anything!

Then, Zhong Quan walked up, "Ah Zhong, this is my college classmate, a dormitory; Guangran, this is Ah Zhong"! Xu Le introduced the two, and then Ah Zhong lowered his head and shook hands with Guang Ran, Guang Ran said, "Hello", Ah Zhong opened his mouth, and waved his hand!

"I'm sorry"! Guang Ran said very apologetically, and Ah Zhong smiled very naturally!

"Ah Zhong doesn't speak, it's okay, he can hear what you say, he can do it, it's great, he's driving all the way, and he protects me, let's go, today I invite our future giants of Chinese Neo-Confucianism to tell us about the Confucian family"!

Guang Ran felt that the squad leader had indeed changed a little, he had a smile and spoke, there was no way, after all, he had entered the society, and the squad leader was still the youngest cadre in the Chinese history and geography today!

Xu Le took Guan Mu, and the three of them walked in together! Walking to the entrance, Guang Ran took out his work card, and then said a few words, and the staff member finally checked if there was a fire or something and let them in!

It is an ancestral temple dedicated to Confucius, a famous thinker and educator in ancient China. It was built in 478 before the Duke of Luai), and was expanded in successive dynasties. Since the Western Han Dynasty, successive emperors have continued to give Confucius the title of Confucius, and the scale of the Confucian Temple has become larger and larger, becoming the largest Confucian Temple in the country. Most of the existing buildings are completed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, covering an area of 327 acres, and there are nine courtyards before and after. There are 464 halls, altars and pavilions and gates in the temple. It is surrounded by red walls, and the four corners are equipped with corner towers, which are built in the style of Kyoto's old courtyard. Together with the adjacent Confucian Mansion and the Confucian Forest in the north of the city, it is called the "Three Holes". Together with the Kyoto Ancient Courtyard and the Northern Hebei Summer Resort, it is listed as one of the three major ancient buildings in China; Together with the Jiankang Confucius Temple, the Kyoto Confucius Temple and the Confucian Temple of the Rime City, it is known as the four major Confucian temples in China.

Guang Ran introduced to Xu Le, "The history here can be traced back to 478 BC, that is, the second year of Confucius's death, because it is the identity of "cloth clothes", so it should be at most three temples, so the current Confucian temple is contrary to common etiquette."

Subsequently, Guang Ran introduced the two of them to the sealing and continuous expansion of Mr. Kong Er in all dynasties since the Western Han Dynasty, Xu Le nodded frequently, this seems to be not a temporary recitation, at first glance, Guang Ran has indeed worked hard, these things have to be remembered, you can't wait until you use it to check it, this is professional!

"In the Ming Dynasty, the final pattern was basically formed, and in the Qing Dynasty, the Confucian Temple was built fourteen times. In the end, for thousands of years, the Confucian Temple has undergone a total of 15 major repairs, 31 medium repairs, and hundreds of minor repairs, and finally reached the grand scale of the Jiujin Courtyard today."

Xu Le clapped his hands, "Good, good"! He was very pleased with Guangran's skills, patted Guangran on the shoulder, and Guangran smiled a little embarrassed!

"Let's take a look at this floor plan first"! Guangran pointed to the layout diagram and said, the Confucian temple is arranged along a north-south axis, the left and right are symmetrical, the layout is rigorous, there are nine courtyards in total, there are Lingxing Gate, Shengshi Gate, Hongdao Gate, Dazhong Gate, Tongwen Gate, Kuiwen Pavilion, Thirteen Imperial Tablet Pavilions, from the Great Holy Gate, the building is divided into three roads: the middle road is Dacheng Gate, Apricot Altar, Dacheng Palace, Sleeping Palace, Holy Miracle Hall and two houses, which are the places of worship Confucius and Confucianism and sages respectively; The east road is the Chongsheng Gate, the Poetry Hall, the Ancient Well, the Lubi, the Chongsheng Ci, the Family Temple, etc., which are mostly the places where the ancestors of the five generations of Confucius are worshipped; The west road is the Qisheng Gate, the Golden Silk Hall, the Qisheng King Palace, the Sleeping Hall and other buildings, which is the place to worship Confucius's parents.

The whole temple has five halls, one ancestral hall, one pavilion, one altar, two halls, seventeen tablet pavilions, fifty-three gates, a total of 466 halls, respectively built in the Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods. The most famous buildings in the Confucian Temple are: Lingxing Gate, Second Gate, Kuiwen Pavilion, Apricot Altar, Dacheng Hall, Sleeping Hall, Holy Miracle Hall, Poetry Hall, etc.

Then the three of them came to Dacheng Hall first!

This is the main building of the Confucian Temple, nine rooms wide, five rooms deep, 32 meters high, 54 meters long, 34 meters deep, nine ridges of heavy eaves, yellow tile flying color, bucket arches staggered, carved beams and painted buildings, circumferential corridors, majestic and magnificent. The eighteen pillars of the two mountains and the back eaves are shallowly carved with cloud dragon patterns, and each pillar has seventy-two dragons. The ten pillars of the front eaves are deeply embossed with cloud dragon pattern, each pillar has two dragons to soar, coiled and rising, seems to be out of the wall and wants to come out, exquisite and exquisite. In the hall, hang high the "Ten Thousand Masters Table" and other ten huge plaques, three pairs of couplets, all of which are written by Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. In the middle of the hall is the statue of Confucius, and the statues of 72 disciples and the sages of the Confucian school are divided around the left and right. The terrace in front of the hall is spacious, and the "Eight Hundred Dance" of the old worship hole is also held here.

Then he walked into the Lingxing Gate, which is the gate of the Confucian Temple. Ancient legends say that the Lingxing is the literary star in the sky, and the name of this means that the country has a large number of talents, so the ancient emperors first sacrificed the Lingxing when they sacrificed to the sky, and the specifications of Confucius were also like sacrificing to the sky. Lingxing Gate six wings and four pillars, iron beam stone pillar, the top of the pillar stands four stone statues of heavenly generals, majestic and majestic, indispensable. The stone drum under the column holds the clamp, so that the architectural style is stable and dignified.

Continue to the Holy Time Gate inside, the same as the city gate, there are three door holes, there are two dragons playing with pearls in relief of the Ming generation on the stone majesty royal road before and after, the dragon in the picture turns over the river and the sea, sprays clouds and spits fog, the momentum is extraordinary. The Holy Time Gate was built in the Ming Dynasty, the eaves and arches, the top is the green glazed tile, the white marble square in front of the door, the name Tai and the Yuanqi Fang, the name of the square praises Confucius as the heaven and the earth, all-encompassing. There is a wooden workshop on the east and west sides of the door respectively, the shape of the two squares is the same, there is an archway on the upper side, three rooms and four columns, the bucket arch is dense, the eaves wing is warped, the pillar is carved with stone lions, Tianlu statues, the shape is simple.

Kuiwen Pavilion is located in the middle of the Confucian Temple, which is a pavilion for storing books. In ancient China, Kuixing was one of the twenty-eight sutras, the main article. Kuiwen Pavilion triple cornices, four layers of bucket arches, seven rooms wide, five rooms deep. There are two layers of pavilion in the interior of the pavilion, and there is a dark layer in the middle, the structure is unique, and the craftsmanship is ingenious. The upper layer is the place where the scriptures and inkblots of the emperors of the past dynasties are collected, the Ming and Qing dynasties have set up a member of the Kuiwen Pavilion Seven Classics to manage, the dark layer is dedicated to the collection of scripture plates, and the lower layer is dedicated to the collection of incense silk that the emperors of the past dynasties need when sacrificing holes.

Xu Le followed Guangran to the apricot altar, which is said to be the place where Confucius taught, in the middle of the courtyard in front of the Dacheng Palace. Apricots are planted around the altar and named the apricot altar to commemorate the historical story of Confucius's lecture at the apricot altar. Xu Le touched the apricot trees, and a wave of Haoran Qi rushed into his body as if it was the sound of reading aloud, it was really rich, the choked Xu Le coughed twice, and the green dragon was like being drunk, fainted, exuding the smell of wine, and the breath continued to moisten Xu Le's body, and suddenly Guangran and Zhong Quan felt that the poetic atmosphere exuded by Xu Le's body became stronger, just like an old master!

Especially the way he was holding Guan Mu, he was more like an old pedant, and for Guang Ran, it was like seeing that kind of sages and ancient saints!

Then we visited the inscriptions of the past dynasties, more than 1,000 pieces! The content includes records of feudal emperors posthumously, sealing, sacrificing Confucius and building Confucian temples. Up to the two Han Dynasty, down to the Republic of China, the real grass is under the seal, and each calligraphy has. The giant is more than a foot, and the small one is not a foot. In addition to Chinese characters, there are also Manchu, Mongolian and Basipa scripts, which is one of the large stele forests in China.

Xu Le looked at these buildings and text introductions and the famous inscriptions one by one, and nodded again and again, whether it is from the positive and negative Santai, education, cultural inheritance, ethnic integration, spiritual heritage, and historical value.

Xu Le thought that Mr. Kong Er, who had been 2,500 years old, was like a lost dog, wandering around this land, repeatedly hitting a wall, but still not changing his original intention, what was he pursuing? Later, why did you "depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism"? Why did the Tang Dynasty Gaozu set up a temple of Zhou Gong and a Confucius temple to "sacrifice at four o'clock"; During the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, "all schools in the world set up Zhou Gong and Confucius Temple", and then "stopped worshiping Zhou Gong and worshipped Confucius in school"?

Xu Le knew that Confucius's martial arts were not low, six subjects: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. But what exactly was he doing, what was his original intention, and has the future generations completely changed his original intention?

He hurriedly sent himself a text message and sent what he had in mind!

"Thank you, thank you, that's a very good point"! Xu Le smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Longshan ruins to have a look!"

Xu Le and the others walked out, chatting as they walked, and suddenly Xu Le asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Guang Ran was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment and a sense of guilt, "I have it"!

When Xu Le heard this, he didn't think too much, he was still very happy for Guangran, "If it's convenient in the evening, let's have a meal together, I don't know when to come over next time!"

"Squad leader, can you let her go to Chengzi Cliff too"? Guang Ran said with some embarrassment.

"Huh"? Xu Le didn't understand!

"She is a teacher in the Department of Archaeology of our Qilu University"!

Xu Le smiled, gave the phone to Guangran, and asked him to make a call and say, about half past one!

Then everyone went straight to the ruins of Longshan Cultural City in Quancheng!
