There is no Zhong Ni in the world.

# Cross-strait cultural treasure hunt # When our party was led into this 3,000-acre Kong Lin, and it was less than a mile away, I realized why Kong Lin was not called Kong Ling. This is the largest family cemetery in China. Because of Confucius, the famous "Great Sage", the names of Confucius who died in Qufu and even Confucius in China are proud to be buried here. This is essentially a cemetery. The trees in the cemetery are gloomy and dense, even the blue of the sky is covered, and there are many graves. China people have always been born again to avoid death, so the atmosphere is a bit gloomy and heavy, with few tourists and a vast territory and few people, which is even more shocking. And there are so many kinds of trees that I can't even name them. Fortunately, there is a local tour guide in Qufu who constantly introduces us to the general situation of the cemetery. "The tomb is a thousand years old, and Lin Qiu is cold." In this autumn afternoon, it should be warm and harmonious, but I even feel a chill here. There are more than 654.38 million trees in Kong Lin. According to legend, after the death of Confucius, "disciples planted strange trees all around, so there were many different trees, and the Lu people were incompetent for generations." Today, some trees in Kong Lin are still unknown. Among them, cypress, juniper, oak, elm, locust, kai, park, maple, poplar, willow, sandalwood, privet, five flavors, cherry blossoms and other trees are intertwined and flourishing; Hundreds of plants, such as wild chrysanthemum, Pinellia ternata, Bupleurum, Pseudostellaria heterophylla, Ganoderma lucidum, etc. It is also based on the glory of the times and green diligence. Since the Han Dynasty, the feudal rulers of the past dynasties have rebuilt and added 13 times to Kong Lin, and even formed the present scale, with a total area of about 2 square kilometers, a surrounding forest wall of 5.6 kilometers, a wall height of more than 3 meters and a thickness of 1 meter. In addition, of course, it is inevitable to plant trees in a large area and prohibit logging, so Kong Lin has formed its present grand scale. Guo Moruo, a famous contemporary cultural expert, once said: "This is a very good natural museum and a chronicle of the Kong family." Kong Lin is not only a cemetery, but also a natural botanical garden. From this perspective, the name "Kong Lin" is also appropriate.

"There is no way to see the broken monument in the deep tree." I like calligraphy. To my surprise, in the forest of Confucius with thousands of trees and towering green trees, there are many road monuments and inscriptions scattered in the forest. The tour guide said that in addition to many famous Han steles, there are tombstones inscribed by famous calligraphers in Ming and Qing Dynasties such as Li Dongyang, Yan Song, Weng Fanggang, He and Kang Youwei. Seal script, official script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script, regular script. The name "Kong Lin" may be a mixture of the two.

Finally came to the tomb of Confucius, which is the core of Confucius Forest. Without this, there would be no forest of Confucius.

Whether the mausoleum is luxurious or not is far from speculation. The tombs of Confucius and his son are on both sides, and the tomb of Confucius is in the middle. The tour guide said it was called hugging children and grandchildren, and it was a very strange funeral in modern times. Looking closely at the tomb of Confucius, although it is larger than the general tomb of the king, it is more distinctive. This tomb is shaped like a raised horse back, commonly known as a horse. The mausoleum is surrounded by a red wall with a perimeter of Xu Li. In front of the tomb, there is a huge stone carving "The Tomb of the King of Dacheng Zhisheng Wenxuan", which was written by Huang Suo, a calligrapher in the eighth year of Ming Dynasty (1443), using the method of seal script. Because there can't be two kings in the world, there is a stone instrument in front of the tomb, which just covers the word "king". The green grass on the tomb, the lush cypress, the birds and flowers, add a trace of vitality and vitality to this originally unknown cemetery. "Phoenix sometimes gathers precious trees, but every bird is afraid to nest in the depths of the forest." I have regarded many birds as phoenixes in my mind, because they inhabit the cypress trees in front of Confucius' tomb.

What surprised me most was that a short height stood in front of Confucius' tomb as a way to bow down to Confucius' tomb.

As a king, Confucius once visited the Ming Tombs, prospered Zhu Yuanzhang, who drove Yuan back to China in the Ming Dynasty, opened Sun Yat-sen's Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum for the world, and Betty Wong Mausoleum, a national hero loyal to the country. As for other tombs, I'm not sure. There are emperors, famous Confucian scholars, martyrs, good ministers and rich people, and China is as big as it is. The graves of many romantic figures written by historians have long since disappeared in the misty rain of history, leaving no trace on earth. Where will they want to go for people to pay their respects? Large and small tombs in the forest of Confucius are sheltered by Confucius' tombs, and the existing tombs are even more unlucky.

"Without Zhong Ni, it would exist forever." This is the book "The Trace of an Unknown Rusong in an Equally Unknown Inn", but it is enough to be passed down to this day. Confucius' lofty position in the history of China's thoughts is beyond the reach of any thinker in ancient China. The respect for Confucius is beyond the reach of emperors in previous dynasties. Confucius' body has been decaying for a long time, and his thoughts are exerting an increasing influence not only on the China world, but also on the whole mankind. In East Asia, it is also called "Confucian cultural circle". Isn't The Analects, known as the Bible of China people, the current code of conduct of China people? The famous sinologist Schwartz said, "What is China? Geographically, Chinese culture! " Confucius played an important role in China's contribution to China! My generation was born in Sri Lanka and bathed in the wind. From a cultural point of view, they are all beneficiaries and heirs of Confucius. If we choose the only symbol of Chinese civilization, I think "Confucius" is enough, without any doubt or objection.

A handful of loess buried the founder of China culture. Confucius was lonely before his death; Behind Confucius, there is glory. In the end, a person's historical value is judged by the mouths of many ordinary people. Did the feudal emperors who built tombs for themselves with the power of dumping their country ever think about this? Many imperial tombs in the world may have collapsed this autumn evening, unattended, crows crowing and weeds rustling. Shepherd boy logging, farmer farming, from the loess to the end of the loess, is really busy, and the emperor who dreamed for a thousand years can't compare with Confucius, a model for a thousand years. Thought of here, in the twilight, I want to make a long bow to Sheng Wenxuan's tomb of Wang Dacheng. Looking at the short figure, the cortex has already worn out, and I don't know how many China people have already knelt down and kowtowed on it. There are many people worshipping at this time, and I don't know when it will be sorted out. I can only bow deeply to it in the afterglow of autumn. I know I will come here again and worship it for a long time! For, I come from China! China people bathed in the Confucian culture founded by Confucius! I think I hope more and more people from China will come here to worship for a long time. The ethics of monarchs, monarchs, ministers and ministers have gone far away, and the teachings of self-cultivation and self-discipline are still in my ears, thanks to Confucius!

When our group went home, I suddenly felt that the gloomy Kong Lin was full of sunshine and warmth.
