Broad ideological system
Speaking of Confucius, I think everyone is familiar with it. He was born in Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which is now Qufu City, Shandong Province. He was a famous thinker and educator in ancient China. Of course, he is well known because he is the founder of Confucianism and has had a far-reaching impact on China and even the world. Even after thousands of years, his thoughts are still not out of date. Therefore, Confucius is also listed as the "Top Ten Cultural Celebrities in the World".
Confucius' ideological system is very extensive, including politics, economy, education and aesthetics. Politically, he advocated "benevolence" and "courtesy", and in the general plan of governing the country, he advocated the noblest method of governing the country with morality and ethics. Economically, his thoughts are "valuing righteousness over profit", "seeing profit as a surface" and enriching the people.
In education, he advocated "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" and "teaching without distinction", so he tried to establish private schools and recruit students widely, breaking the monopoly of slave owners and nobles on school education. In aesthetics, he advocates the unity of beauty and goodness, that is, the unity of form and content.
Admire
His ideological and theoretical achievements play an indispensable role in the political, economic, social and cultural development of later generations. Even if people don't use his thoughts directly, they can see the shadow of Confucius' Confucianism in many formal norms and standards. Later, in order to learn Confucius' thoughts and express gratitude and admiration for Confucius, people built Confucius temples all over the country.
Now we are widely familiar with Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong, Confucius Temple in Nankou, Zhejiang, Confucius Temple in Beijing and Confucius Temple in Nanjing. However, with the development of society in recent years, people pay more and more attention to education and the traditional culture of ancient China. This phenomenon is not only common in China, but also set off a "Confucius fever" around the world, and more and more countries introduced Confucius Institutes.
Nishan holy land
The government of Confucius' birthplace thinks that since the whole world attaches so much importance to Confucius' thought, it must make good use of this unique resource, so it decides to build a world-class tourism and holiday center here, which integrates tourism, cultural experience and learning enlightenment. This resort is called Nishan Scenic Spot.
Nishan Holy Land, a holiday resort, not only provides a carrier for domestic people to study and inspect Confucius' former residence and thoughts on the spot, but also creates a practical and rich humanistic tourist resort for people all over the world.
Nishan Scenic Spot covers an area of about 8 square kilometers. The main attractions of the scenic spot include the University Hall, the statue of Confucius and the local supporting service area. Besides enjoying Confucian culture handed down from generation to generation, people can also enjoy delicious food, beautiful scenery and experience local customs.
The most striking thing in this scenic spot is the statue of Confucius. The entire statue of Confucius is 72 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of 30 floors. This is by far the tallest and largest statue of Confucius in the world. The material of Confucius statue is copper, because copper statue is very durable and can withstand the erosion of wind, frost, rain and snow for a long time. After completion, it can also save some related maintenance costs.
Although this statue of Confucius is very tall, it doesn't give people a sense of arrogance. This statue of Confucius is based on the famous work "Confucius as a Teacher" by Wu Daozi, a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty, and is shaped according to the image of "amiable, respectable, elder, teacher and wise man". It is so amiable that people want to stop and enjoy it.
This statue of Confucius dominates the cultural space of the entire Nishan sacred scenic spot, which can be said to be the finishing touch. There are nine steps under the statue of Confucius, also known as the Avenue of Destiny, with a total of 260 steps, which also means that Confucius' thoughts have been passed down for nearly 2,600 years.
Reproduce the design style of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period
In addition to the statue of Confucius, the design of the whole scenic spot is full of strong architectural styles in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. When tourists step into this scenic spot, it's like walking into the ancient society of China, where every grass, tree, brick and tile can bring people back to the society in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
The whole scenic spot is not only stunning in appearance, but also refreshing in interior design. Part of the sacred scene of Mount Nishan is called the Confucius Temple in the Holy Land. There is a university hall in this Confucian mansion, which also includes the welcome hall, the seventy-two immortals' gallery, the five halls of propriety, benevolence, wisdom and faith, and the hall of propriety and music. These splendid designs vividly show the charm of China's traditional art and culture, and at the same time bring shock and impact to the senses and hearts of tourists.
Nowadays, more and more young people and parents will take time to bring their children here to appreciate Confucian culture, feel the social atmosphere in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and let them be influenced by Confucianism, so as to better understand the traditional culture of China and enhance their sense of social responsibility.
Not only China people, but also many foreigners come here with curiosity and admiration for China culture. When they heard that Nishan Scenic Area was completed, they came here with the purpose of studying China culture and tourism and entertainment. While enjoying the natural scenery, they also personally felt the wonder and charm of China traditional culture and local customs and culture. It must be said that the sacred land of Nishan has become a new landmark in the hometown of saints.
Although it cost a lot of money to build Nishan Scenic Area, it is definitely worth it. Because this tourist attraction is not only a scenic spot, but also a carrier of China traditional culture. It is silently telling China and the world about the history and traditional culture of China. It has also become a new business card for China, letting more people know about China and like China.
The establishment of a new landmark in the land of saints has also attracted more people to visit and appreciate the profound culture to a certain extent, so the traditional culture of China has imperceptibly entered people's hearts and exerted an impact on people's life and production.
Therefore, in this sense, no matter how much money is spent, it is worthwhile, because this is the traditional culture of China that we are most proud of.
