Kong Xiangkai's life

In view of Kong Xiangkai's contribution to Confucius' South Sect "Zhongxing", and because his life and experience are behind a temple, a city, a period of history and a context, Quzhou City decided to invite his former classmates, colleagues and friends to talk about this "old man" from different angles, give him a "biography" and make a good publicity. Unexpectedly, people from all over the world who had contacts with this "old man" at home and abroad, from ministers, famous directors, painters, writers and musicians to miners and ordinary cadres, quickly handed over articles full of sincere feelings.

1996 10, Kong Xiangkai returned to the mine to attend the 30th anniversary celebration. At the commemorative meeting, when the mine manager read his name, two cheers and applause sounded. All the staff stood up to pay tribute. The miners said: They will never forget what the old mine manager said in his mouth and hung in his heart-"There are four stone heads with a piece of meat in the underground, and the safety responsibility is more important than Mount Tai. If you don't do a good job in the lives of employees, you will die unsatisfied! " It shows his feelings with the employees in the mine.

Studying, working in mines, going into politics, and worshiping temples ... "Old people feel secure, friends believe, and few people are pregnant". Kong Xiangkai's life experience is full of wonderful things.

Incredibly and enviably, Kong Xiangkai's major in civil architecture belongs to "solidified music", but he can write novels and essays, and is good at composition, calligraphy, painting and even sculpture.

At the first ceremony of offering sacrifices to Confucius in Quzhou in 2004, he was not only the writer and director of the drama Du Nan in Bulk, but also the composer and conductor of the chorus in Southeast Queli. It is magnificent, melodious, mellow and magnificent, which makes Chen, vice minister of culture, and Xie Jin, a famous director, think that he must have studied vocal music systematically. The former deputy head of the Beijing Military Region Comrades Song and Dance Troupe, a famous bass singer and major general said: "I arranged the composition, orchestration, rehearsal and command all by myself. Teacher Kong is really courageous. Don't just try to be brave, but also study! This person who has never studied music is really amazing! "

Kong Xiangkai has more gods. He copied Fan Ceng's painting Dharma, and the autumn scenery was wonderful. Professor Kong Zhongqi of China Academy of Fine Arts was amazed and wrote an inscription: "Vivid. Fan Ge will certainly recognize Xiang Kai's occasional behavior. "

Kong Xiangkai is an all-rounder, a geek and a wizard! This "zhongxing ancestor" of Kongshi Nanzong must have benefited from the genetic genes of his ancestors, which is really wonderful! No regrets in life! However, life is beautiful, but how can we really have no regrets!

Confucius' most precious ancestral treasure, once placed in the Confucius Temple in Nanzong, was carved by Zi Gong during his six-year tomb guard after his teacher died. In those days, Kong Duanyou, the Duke of Feast, took the icons of two ancestors and led his family to the south. Since then, the wooden statue of Kai has experienced numerous disasters in Nanzong Confucius Temple, and has been treasured in Quzhou Confucius Temple for more than 860 years after 27 generations.

1959 National Day 10 anniversary, this treasure was borrowed by Qufu Cultural Management Association and has not been returned yet. This is a great regret of Nanzong Confucius Temple!

Can there be no regrets?

There is no doubt that Kong Xiangkai is extremely talented. But seeing that the achievements of his life are not academic, but achievements, doesn't he know that some people call him "scheming" and "arty"? When Kong Xiangkai was a teenager, it was the time when new schools were constantly emerging. Kongjia private school was changed into a primary school, using new textbooks. Although he still had a strict tutor at home when he was a child, he studied Chinese and calligraphy and laid a solid cultural foundation. The sage's The Analects of Confucius was transferred to Shenyang Gold College, and he only began to read and study it carefully once in a while. Only in the later years of my life can I use my talents and interests to develop my talents. His genes, talent and diligence, especially his artistic talent, should and could have been more outstanding.

Can there be no regrets?

Considering the future head of Nanzongjia Temple, some people hope that Kong Xiangkai's son who is doing business in Ningbo can return to Quzhou. Some people even suggested that his descendants should be immortal as officials. In fact, for him, just as his holy father didn't expect to bring out a family with a long history behind him, he never thought that the position of director of Kong Management Committee would be hereditary. He said: whoever has the ability to do it doesn't have to have Kong's surname. As for who will take over in the end, he has repeatedly said that it is up to the organization to decide.

Kong Xiangkai's persistence made him not give up, and his flexibility made him find an ideal space and a suitable living environment. This is the luck of the "old man". Moreover, it can catch up with a great era. For more than ten years, successive municipal party committees and municipal governments in Quzhou have shown great respect and esteem for this old gentleman. As a descendant of Confucius, we can keep watch in the "Southeast Queli" and practice the inheritance of ancestral spirits by a descendant. What's more, at the invitation of Quzhou College, he offered the course of "Cultural Random Talk" for many years, teaching engineering students novella writing, prose writing, drama and director, chorus and conductor, music appreciation and composition, traditional thought and Confucianism, art and the improvement of thinking ability. Its wide knowledge and deep knowledge are highly praised by teachers and students. It is Kong Xiangkai's greatest luck to be able to return to the spiritual source of the Holy Father, pursue the Holy Father, set up a school in Xingtan, educate and educate people, and tirelessly teach others during his last evening trip to "worship the official"!

"My son said in Sichuan: The deceased is like a husband." In the face of lost time, I wish Mr. Kong continued to have hopes and dreams, so as to light up the long future and take the road ahead. (The picture in this article is provided by Nankongjia Temple)
