Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Jin and Zhou Qingmo walked side by side. After crossing the Nantian Gate, they climbed the last few steps. At first glance, they saw a stone square above the steps. The stone square was carved from white marble, six to seven meters high, and had four dragons reaching to the sky.  The pillars stand tall, and the eight stone pillars have unique unicorn shapes. In the middle of the archway are written two large red characters: Tianjie.

    Zhou Qingmo introduced Li Jin: "Brother Jin, this is the famous Tianjie." Seeing Li Jin's complete ignorance, she smiled and added: "Of course there are people who don't know.  "After saying that, I couldn't help but laugh.

    Li Jin scratched his head and chuckled: "It's okay, I know I'm stupid, just keep talking."

    Zhou Qingmo chuckled and began to introduce that Mount Tai's Tianjie is almost unique in the world. A street market was built on the top of Mount Tai, which is more than 1,500 meters above sea level. The reason is that Mount Tai has been so famous from ancient times to the present.  reputation.

    As the most famous mountain in the country, Mount Tai has always been visited by tourists and pilgrims come up to offer incense. In ancient times, the poor mountain people at the foot of the mountain carved out this street bit by bit with their hands, using rocks to build walls and thatch roofs.  On the roof, two rows of narrow and cramped houses were built, some of which are used as guest rooms for tourists to live in, and some of which make a living by selling snacks or souvenirs.

    Until the Western Han Dynasty, this kind of Tianjie serving tourists and pilgrims came into being and began to be recorded in relevant documents. As the number of tourists increased, the emperor began to support it. Gradually, Tianjie began to prosper and the streets of Tianjie began to be re-paved.  Construction began, houses began to be renovated, and the number of various shops began to increase.  Gradually it reached hundreds.  It is about a kilometer long. People come and go every day, rubbing shoulders and bumping into each other. The city and street leave a deep impression on all tourists.

    Zhou Qingmo said as he led Li Jin to wander in Tianjie. This market that seems to be hanging in the sky has mostly guest rooms for people to live in and special snacks. Most of the others are selling souvenirs, such as Tai'an cultural relics.  Shops and the like.

    Li Jin was very interested and led Zhou Qingmo in.  Looking at the products one by one, although I don¡¯t know whether these products are real or fake, the price is not fake. One is marked with the ancient jade that Lu Dongbin left in Mount Tai.  The price tag is millions. Of course, few people believe in such a legendary figure.  Another bronze mirror that Confucius left behind is said to be worth tens of millions. Li Jin doesn't know why this thing can be sold here. If it is real, how can it be sold privately? If it is fake, how can it be sold privately?  That's true, of course.  The most popular items sold in this store are ancient coins, jade and the like.

    Even some of Li Jin's seemingly ordinary pearl necklaces are priced at hundreds of thousands of yuan here. In short, there are no cheap products sold here. No wonder there are smiling clerks in other stores, but no one here paid attention to them for a long time.  .

    Seeing Li Jin's interest, Zhou Qingmo said from the side: "Brother Jin, do you like ancient cultural relics?"

    Li Jin said casually: "It's okay, just take a look."

    Zhou Qingmo said mysteriously: "Brother Jin, in fact, there are real things here, my father said so. These cultural relics museums have collected many cultural relics from the people who made holes in the past. I will tell you when I get out."

    Li Jin didn¡¯t know what was going on. He was stunned for a moment and followed Zhou Qingmo out to the resting place on the south side of Tianjie.  Leaning on the handrail of Tianjie to watch the scenery on the top of the mountain, while listening to Zhou Qingmo tell the stories of these cultural relics.

    Zhou Qingmo has been influenced by his father since he was a child.  I like archeology. From the time I started babbling, the first thing I saw were the various cultural relics my father brought home to sort out, so I naturally knew more about the Confucius Mansion in my hometown than anyone else.

    Zhou Qingmo is usually gentle and cute, but when he talks about archeology and cultural relics, his eyes light up. It can be seen that he has been familiar with it since childhood and learned practical knowledge from his father. If nothing else, she likes this aspect and will definitely do it in college.  Check into a school that specializes in archeology.

    After hearing what Zhou Qingmo said, Li Jin understood why there were cultural relics for sale here. It turned out that in the 1960s, it was during the Cultural Revolution, because the leader accidentally said to foreign guests: "One of the important tasks of the proletarian Cultural Revolution is to eliminate Confucius."  Impact in all aspects.¡±

    From that day on, the Kong family, which had not been damaged at the beginning of the destruction of the Four Olds, began to suffer huge disasters on this day.  Breaking the Four Olds, that is, the editorial published by the daily, put forward the slogan of "breaking down the old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits that have been caused by all the exploiting classes for thousands of years and poisoned the people."  one of the important goals.

    In fact, at the beginning, the leader once said: The tradition of Confucius cannot be lost. Of course, he pointed out the shortcomings of Confucius's lack of emphasis on productive labor in education, and suggested that we should find ways to make up for this.  The leader treated Confucius with a scientific attitude of dialectical historical materialism, "throwing away the dross and taking the essence."

    However, the Red Guards who fell into madness found themselves in those residents.Under the leadership of an unpredictable person, he misunderstood the leader's consciousness and immediately began a mighty struggle against Confucius.

    The Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, and Confucius Forest in Qufu, Shandong, are collectively known as the Three Confucius. They are symbols of Confucianism that people admire in commemoration of Confucius.

    Among them, the Confucius Temple is the largest place to worship Confucius in my country; the Confucius Forest is the cemetery of Confucius and his family, and is currently the longest-running and largest family cemetery in the world; the Confucius Mansion is where the hereditary "Yanshenggong" lives. It is the second-largest palace in my country after the imperial palaces of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It contains a large number of historical archives, cultural relics handed down from generation to generation, clothing and utensils from past dynasties, etc., which are extremely precious.

    At that time, the "Three Holes" was already a national key cultural relic protection unit expressly stipulated by the state, but it still could not avoid bad luck.

    With the telegram sent from the capital by the leader of the Cultural Revolution Group at the time, he instructed that "the Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, and Confucius Forest should not be burned," but "Confucius' grave can be dug up."

    Tan Houlan, a Red Guard who was in Shandong at the time, was a "cadre transfer student" at Beijing Normal University.  In the name of the Cultural Revolution Group, Tan Houlan led more than 200 people to create a "Confucius Family Store" rebellion in Qufu, Shandong.  Together with the local rebels, they held a meeting of ten thousand people to destroy the Confucius Temple.

    During the 29 days in Qufu, the Red Guards, "with deep hatred and hatred", smashed the stone monument of the "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit" established by the country in 1961.  A letter of protest was sent to the state.  A total of more than 6,000 cultural relics were destroyed.  More than 2,700 ancient books, more than 900 scrolls of various calligraphy and paintings, and more than 1,000 stone tablets from past dynasties were burned, including more than 70 national treasures that are national first-level protected cultural relics, and more than 1,700 rare books.  More than a thousand stone steles from past dynasties, including the tombstone of Confucius, were smashed, the Confucius Temple was destroyed, the Confucius Mansion, Confucius Forest, and the former site of Shuguo were destroyed, and Confucius' tomb was leveled.

    The gate of Confucius' Mansion was forced open, and workers, cadres, students, and country ladies who came from dozens of miles away in donkey carts swarmed in.

    They held a ¡°pledge meeting to completely destroy the Confucius¡¯ store¡± in front of the gate of Confucius¡¯ Mansion, where the State Council stood in 1962.  The stone tablet with the words "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit" written on it was smashed.

    After the meeting, the Red Guards broke into Confucius Temple, Confucius Temple, and Zhougong Temple separately, smashing steles, pulling up plaques, and destroying statues.  People took out the thread-bound "Book of Changes", "Book of Songs", "The Book of Songs", "Spring and Autumn", "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "The Analects" from the statues of Confucius and other disciples of Confucius who were known as the "Four Matches" and "Twelve Philosophers"  "Mencius" and others were burned, torn up, thrown to the ground and trampled on.

    Confucius¡¯ tall tombstone is covered with slogans.  The Red Guards tied a thick rope around the top of the tombstone. The personnel were divided into two teams. One team grabbed the rope on one side, and the loudspeaker sounded: "The ceremony of removing the tomb and breaking the ground begins now!" The huge and thick "Dacheng Supreme Saint Wenxuan King"  "The monument was pulled down and fell on the stone table in front of the monument, breaking into two pieces.  In order to dig out the tomb faster, detonators and guns were also used. Confucius's tomb was blown open and loess flew everywhere.

    "Yanshenggong" is the title given to the eldest son and grandson of Confucius.  The title has been hereditary since the Song Dynasty.  In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Duke Yansheng Kong Xiangke and his wife, Kong Lingyi and his wives and concubines were also dug out of their graves.  Because they were well protected, the bodies had not yet decomposed, and they were both male and female, naked.

    The Red Guards tied ropes to the trees and then hung the corpses up. They "quickly deflated like a deflated rubber ball" and quickly oxidized and turned black. There was an endless stream of onlookers every day.  The villagers went crazy to snatch the funerary objects from the tomb.  There is a saying that "a tractor can be dug out in one night".  The villagers only saw gold and silver, and anyone who tried to stop them would be severely beaten.

    At that time, countless gold, silver, pearls and jade were dug out from the tombs of the descendants of the Confucius family. The bank came to collect the gold and silver, which was 96 yuan per tael.  More than 300,000 yuan was collected before and after.  The jade was dug out together because it was not purchased.  So it was immediately regarded as waste by the villagers, and was taken away by the children, tied with a rope, and played around on the road.

    According to the Qufu County Cultural Relics Management Committee¡¯s subsequent report on the destruction of cultural relics and the recollections of the parties concerned, all the underground funerary objects in the Kong family cemetery, which covers an area of ??more than 3,000 acres and has lasted for more than 2,000 years, were looted.

    The last Duke of Yansheng, Kong Decheng, was the son of Kong Lingyi and served as the dean of the Taiwan Examination Yuan. He passed away in October 2008 at the age of 88. Although he was repeatedly invited to return to the mainland, he never accepted it.  The digging of ancestral graves is the greatest insult in Chinese tradition!

    During the Puppet Manchukuo period, there were 78 Confucius temples in Northeast China.  A Confucian temple was built in Dehui, my hometown, as early as the Xuantong period in the late Qing Dynasty, and a ceremony to commemorate Confucius was held every year. Unfortunately, it was completely destroyed after liberation, and even the remaining bricks and tiles are hard to find.

    Later, the country renovated the tomb of Confucius, and the Qufu Cultural Management Association asked people to help find Confucius' tombstone, as well as scattered stone blocks. Hundreds of them were found in the homes of nearby commune members. The stone block in front of Confucius's tomb is now pieced together with these stones.

    And the countless cultural relics excavated from Confucius's tomb were scattered among the people. Later, they were sold to tourists from time to time. The Qufu Cultural Relics Administration Bureau could not restrict it, so Zhou Qingmo said that the cultural relics bought here are likely to be genuine.

    With the Confucius Temple, Confucius?. Konglin has been listed as a world cultural heritage. More and more domestic and foreign tourists come here to buy cultural relics, and the price of cultural relics has also increased.

    Listening to Zhou Qingmo's low voice speaking about this period of history, Li Jin also fell silent. He was still young and had not studied that period of history. He did not know whether Confucius was good or bad, but he was deeply moved. Cultural relics that have been passed down for thousands of years are just like this.  It was destroyed, and it was destroyed by his own people. No wonder it made Zhou Qingmo so sad.

    Seeing that his mood was a bit low at the end of this week, Li Jin comforted himself with some blame: "Okay, the matter is over and it won't help us to worry here."

    Zhou Qingmo nodded and said firmly: "I will be an archaeologist like my father in the future, and strive to preserve all the good things left by my ancestors, so as not to be like the Confucius Mansion."

    Li Jin looked at the girl with long hair in front of him and felt in a trance. Yes, she has her own beliefs, what about him?  With countless abilities, am I just going to hang out like this?  His heart was wandering like this, dancing with the mountain wind on the top of Mount Tai.

    Regarding the Confucius Mansion, Lan Wu was lucky enough to visit it. Looking at the ruins everywhere, my heart was particularly sad. This place is not as damaged by the war as the Summer Palace. Here we can only regret it. Looking at the huge stone monument reconnected with cement, every day  Everyone is sincerely sad, so I write this text here to commemorate and express condolences.  To be continued.  .
