Tracing the history of our country in 770 BC is the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period in China, until 221 BC is the end of China's Warring States Period, in this history, intellectuals formed different families such as Mojia, Confucianism, Taoism and other different schools. Until the Han Dynasty, the emperor admired confucianism among them, and from then on, Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius began to spread. Among them, Confucius's thought is famous in the world and has influenced many countries, Confucius is the house where Confucius's concubines live, with the prosperity of Confucius's status, so that the status of Confucius is increasing day by day, today, Confucius is known as "the first in the world", ushering in many tourists at home and abroad to visit.
Speaking of Confucius, we subconsciously think of Confucius's residence, but Confucius was first confucius temple, in the second year after Confucius's death, Lu Guo identified Confucius's residence as confucius temple, and Confucius's concubines lived here for worship, and gradually became a residence, with the improvement of Confucius thought and the official position of Confucius's descendants, the residence was expanded.
Later, with the development of history, the dynasties respected confucius thought, and the residence gradually expanded, with more and more rooms, and then formed the Confucius Palace. In the course of its historical development, Confucius Has also undergone many constructions and reconstructions due to wars, fires and other reasons. Finally, in the Ming Dynasty, the Confucius Palace was determined to be located in qufu City, and during the Republic of China period, the Confucius Palace underwent the last comprehensive renovation. Finally, it's before our eyes.
The Confucius Mansion we see today covers an area of about 74,000 square meters, with multiple courtyards built. It is basically divided into three parts, the first part is used for daily guests, errands, etc., the second part is used for people's daily living, and the third part is the garden, which is used for daily leisure and relaxation. Perhaps because today's Confucius House is rebuilt after experiencing serious damage due to wars, fires and other reasons, because the architectural style is basically based on the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when you enter the Confucius House, you can feel the sense of fame and prestige.
Entering the Confucius Palace, the first thing you can see is the Confucius Gate, the gate plaque is said to have been written by the Ming Dynasty Prime Minister, and its couplet is said to have been written by the Qing Dynasty calligrapher. After walking through the gate of the Confucius Palace, we came to the front yard, and there were two boxes in the front yard, of which the west wing was the residence of the official Liupin, and the east wing was a gatehouse, which was used to transmit official documents.
After the front yard is the second gate, and the front yard of the second gate has two side doors, indicating that it is solemnly located here. The lobby foyer of the second gate is a separate wooden door with four empty faces, with a plaque personally awarded by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This wooden door was also only used for matters related to the emperor, such as greeting, listening, receiving, etc. On both sides of the vestibule are six courtyards and four boxes for government affairs. Further back are the second and third churches, which were also built to deal with state affairs.
After walking through the three halls, you will come to the living and living part of the Confucius people, and its gate design style is the architectural style of the three five-bay hanging mountain, walking through the gate can understand the life and living of the people at that time, where you can see the daily utensils and other daily necessities used by confucius and understand the daily life of the servants. After walking through the living part, you will come to the back garden of Confucius, where you can see the scenery of flowing water, flower docks, curved bridges, etc., and you can feel the comfort of people in the back garden at that time.
