I rarely use the word "shocking" to describe a place, until I went here.

[Sakura] A Confucian barrier that travels through time and space for thousands of years | A complete guide to exploring the secret realm of Qufu [Clover] [Flower] Midnight Festival: Touch the thousand-year echo of the bronze chimes [Clover] Sneaking into the Confucius Temple at four in the morning, the towering palace walls shrouded in morning mist glowed with a faint light. Legend has it that if you knock on the dragon pillars of the Dacheng Hall at midnight, you can hear the lingering sound of the bronze chimes played when Emperor Wu of Han offered sacrifices to Confucius. During the Spring and Autumn Festivals, scholars from home and abroad wear Hanfu and hold bamboo slips to recreate the solemn ritual of the "Eight-Legged Dance" in the light and shadow show "Great Confucius". The moonlight and lasers interweave, as if heaven and man are offering sacrifices together. [Sun]Confucius Mansion Secret Files: The Unsolved Contract of the Marquis's Mansion[Wither] Push open the red lacquer door of the Yanshenggong Mansion, and you will find secrets hidden in the more than 6,000 rooms. The relief of the Pixiu on the "Greed Wall" in the front hall will devour greed, and the knots of the "Five Cypresses Embracing the Sophora japonica" in the back garden are engraved with the secret code of the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty. You must try the "Poetry and Etiquette Ginkgo", this Confucius Mansion Banquet dish contains the code of "The Analects of Confucius". The moment the dessert enters your mouth, your tongue can actually feel the loyal and heroic spirit of "refusing to eat Zhou's grain". [ShoppingBag] Ghost Stele Forest: Wrinkles of Time and Space Under the Ancient Cypresses [PumpkinLamp] Stepping into Confucius Cemetery, you will see hundreds of thousands of tombstones lined up like stars. It is said that if you touch the "Carrying Sons and Grandsons" monument in front of Confucius' tomb, the shadow of the bamboo slips of the "Spring and Autumn Annals" will appear in your palm. Walking alone to Zhushui Bridge at midnight, I occasionally saw an "inscriptionless monument" with no name engraved on it in the mist. The forest ranger privately said that this was a "shadow tomb" set up by successive Yansheng dukes to avoid disasters. [Tree] Nishan Holy Land: Quantum Dialogue between AI and Ancient Philosophers [Schoolbag] Climbing up to the Nishan University Hall, you can see the 72-meter-tall statue of Confucius, holding a bamboo slip in his hand and overlooking the world. Enter your confusion in front of the "Confucius Answers Questions" interactive screen, and the AI ​​will answer you with famous quotes from The Analects of Confucius, using a voice that simulates the ancient sounds of the Spring and Autumn Period. In the late-night drone light show, thousands of aircraft transformed into the "Guanju" in the "Book of Songs", writing the cosmic code of "the benevolent love others" in the starry sky. [ShoppingBag] Taste Secret: Decoding the Bronze Spell of Confucius Mansion Banquet [Kimono] When you sneak into Quli Guesthouse, you must order the "Bed of Lubi Collection". The eight-treasure rice wrapped in puff pastry is a metaphor for the legend of Confucius's house hiding scriptures between the walls when Qin Shihuang burned books. Served with a glass of Kongfu wine, the medicinal herbs floating in the amber liquid turned out to be the secret recipe for longevity of Duke Yansheng of the Ming Dynasty. Let me tell you a secret: if you eat three pieces of “Analects Pancakes” in a row, the cracks on the thin and crispy edges will spell out the oracle bone script “A friend comes from afar”. 🌌 Secret Realm Law [Leaf] [Glasses] Must-see photos: 5:30 a.m. "Golden Voice and Jade Resonance" ceremony in the morning mist at Confucius Temple, 21:00 p.m. Phoenix Nirvana Light and Shadow Show at Nishan Holy Land [SunGlasses] Code: Collect all 9 AR check-in points in the Three-Sky Scenic Area to exchange for the "Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slips" luminous bracelet (limited edition) [Leaf] Taboo: Do ​​not step on the threshold of the Confucius Temple [Bed] Legend has it that it will disturb the sleeping "Soul of the Palace Examination Champion" [Tulip]Every brick and tile here is an undeciphered scripture. Do you dare to decipher the quantum code of Confucian civilization? 🏯 [Leaf] Copywriting inspiration: Time and space folding in the Confucius Memorial Ceremony [Tulip] The legend of the secret files of Confucius Mansion [FallenLeaf] Dialogue with AI Sages/Bronze Taste Contract [Leaf]
