Climbing mountains to view the sea

Kong Wang Mountain EL+123 is named after Confucius climbed this mountain to look at the East Sea. In those years, Confucius went to the state of Tancheng to spread rites and music to the Dongyi people. He led his disciples to climb Kong Wang Mountain, and saw countless fiddler crabs on the beach below waving their large claws and crawling forward, thinking that these crabs were waving to him in salute. So he said to his disciples: Even the crabs here know about courtesy, what else is there for me to talk about? Then he returned to the state of Lu. On that day, in front of the Dragon Cave Ancestral Hall of the thousand-year-old ancient temple on Kong Wang Mountain, an ancient golden-rain tree - also known as the sticky rice flower tree, over eight hundred years old, was in full bloom. The flowering period lasts only ten days a year, and at a glance, it looked like piled cotton or floating snow. It was so captivating that it made people forget to return!
