Passing through the towering palace walls, entering the Confucius Temple with its red walls and yellow tiles, feeling the breeze that passes through the halls. Ascending the steps, one feels refreshed and clear-headed, and can further explore the cultural connotations of the cultural relics and historical sites. The Kong Family Mansion, where the descendants of Confucius lived, is grand with carved beams and painted rafters. The Confucius Forest is lush with trees, and the Confucius Temple is grand and splendid with a distinct Eastern character, with red walls and glazed tiles nestled among the lush trees. Not only can one appreciate the beauty of grand and solemn classical architecture, but also experience the spirit that has been revered for thousands of years. The scenic area's morning bell opening ceremony and Confucius worship performance are grand, harmonious with music and rites, spanning the long river of history, and reenacting the magnificence of China's 'rite' culture. 🟠Nishan Sacred Land How can you miss the frequently mentioned Nishan Sacred Land! Here, you can converse with sages between the Ren Mountain and Zhi Water, talk with time and space in the shadowy light, and feel the ancient, bright, and profound echoes on the Observing Water Platform. In front of the University Hall, meditate on the solemn dignity of understanding rites and upholding virtue. Visiting Nishan, paying respects to Confucius, one must also experience the unique life of respecting rites. Tour the Museum University Hall and comprehend Confucian culture in the perfect integration of artistic beauty, cultural beauty, and architectural beauty. Follow the rites officer, dress properly, respect the former teachers, ascend the steps to pray for blessings. Follow each step, enter the gate of Confucius, sit quietly, read the Analects, and understand the sage's philosophy in every stroke... 🟠Meng Mansion and Meng Temple Zoucheng, historically known as the 'holy land of Zou and Lu', is known as the 'homeland of Confucius and Mencius and the birthplace of culture'. After six thousand years of cultural baptism, it is a place of abundant natural resources and outstanding people, with many historical sites. Visiting Meng Temple and Meng Mansion to follow the footsteps of the 'Sub-Sage' Mencius and understand his wisdom of 'not feeling ashamed before heaven and not feeling inferior before earth' is an unmissable cultural holy land! 'Dressing properly, using cinnabar to stimulate intelligence, beating drums to express determination, and starting enlightenment with writing...' Under the century-old weeping willow tree in Meng Mansion, experience a ceremony-filled pen initiation ceremony. See the ancient cypresses, red walls, green tiles, watch egrets, weeping willows, and fragrant plants, admire the demeanor of the sages, comprehend the wisdom of the sages, and wander among the temples with towering ancient trees, listening carefully to the stories of Mencius, taking you through a thousand years to experience the long-standing Confucian culture!
