Qufu

Attraction keywords: National Historical and Cultural City, National Excellent Tourism City

The "Oriental Holy City" Qufu is a famous thinker and educator in the pre-Qin era. It is the birthplace, lectures, tombs and sacrifices of descendants of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism. It is also the birthplace of Mencius, another great thinker and educator in China who was a student of Confucius. Therefore, it is listed as one of the first batch of historical and cultural cities in my country. Qufu is the source of Confucianism, the root of Confucianism, and the place where Confucianism was founded.

Qufu is located in the southwest of Shandong Province, with Taidai to the north, Fuyi to the south, Yimeng Mountains to the east, plains to the west, Sishui River to the north, and Yihe River to the south. The land is fertile and the products are rich.

Qufu is the ancient settlement center of the Dongyi tribe, the main area of ??Dawenkou Culture and Longshan Culture. It is also a state of rites and music in the East during the Zhou Dynasty. Confucius was born in Nishan, grew up in Queli, and taught in Xingtan served as an official in Ludu and was buried in Sishang, leaving many relics of his activities in Qufu.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the culture of the State of Lu was developed and talented people emerged in large numbers. The capital of the State was Qufu. Qufu was a state of rites and music in the East during the Zhou Dynasty, which provided a rich foundation for the emergence of Confucianism here. Confucius, who grew up in this unique environment of rituals and music, was studious, thoughtful, tireless, rigorous in his studies, and strict in his practice. He first traveled around the country for 14 years, then devoted himself to his studies, gathered disciples to give lectures, compiled "Poetry" and "Books", compiled "Li" and "Music", revised "Spring and Autumn", comprehensively sorted out ancient Chinese literature, and trained 3,000 disciples. , seventy-two people who were proficient in the six arts (ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics). They accumulated a lifetime of skills and founded and spread Confucianism in Qufu.

The core of Confucius’ thought is “benevolence”, which means “loving others”. He regarded "benevolence" as the norm and purpose of benevolence, making "benevolence" and "propriety" mutually useful. It advocated that the rulers should "treat the people with virtue and harmonize them with propriety" to recreate the prosperous age of the Western Zhou Dynasty when "rituals and music were conquered from the emperor." The main words and deeds of Confucius throughout his life were compiled into the book "The Analects of Confucius" by his disciples and subsequent disciples, which became a classic of the Confucian school in later generations.

As the hometown of Confucius, Qufu is renowned throughout the world for its long history, developed culture, rich cultural relics, and majestic ancient buildings. There are more than 300 cultural relics protection units in the city and 112 key cultural relics protection units. Among them, the "Three Confucius" (Confucius Mansion, Confucius Temple, and Confucius Forest) are the most famous and were listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 1994.

Even if you are hiking in the sweltering summer, you will still feel cool and comfortable under the shade of green pines and cypresses. When you reach the top of the mountain, you still need to bring cold clothes. Although summer is the rainy season for Mount Tai, if you can catch up with the summer rain and the weather clears up, you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of the red clouds on the mountain and the blue waves of the sea of ??clouds at your feet. Spring and autumn are relatively mild, with an average temperature of 10°C, but spring is more windy and sandy. In autumn, there are less wind and rain, more sunny days, crisp air and cloudless weather. It is the golden season for mountain climbing to watch the sunrise. Although the weather is cold in winter, there are more opportunities to see the sunrise. April to November is the best time to visit Mount Tai, and autumn is the best time to watch the sunrise. The sunset at Daiding is more attractive than the sunrise. It is said that when the weather is good, you can see the Yellow River. The scenery is amazing only when it snows in winter. Don’t give up climbing easily on rainy days. At this time, you will often encounter the wonders of the sea of ??clouds on the mountain. You will be even luckier if you catch the sunrise and the sea of ??clouds. During the "Undoubtedly" and "National Day" periods, there were too many people in Taishan. From the 18th Pan to the top, they were all legs, which was quite scary. However, the management of the cable cars and winding roads on Mount Tai is indeed very good.
