Friendly Shandong shot extraordinary! Why is the tallest and largest statue of Confucius in the world 72 meters?

Friendly Shandong, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius.

So where is Shandong, the "hometown of Confucius and Mencius"?

Confucius' hometown is in Qufu and Mencius' hometown is in Zoucheng, both of which belong to Jining. Nowadays, under the influence of these two historical celebrities, Jining has also become a must-see place for cultural tourism.

Jining, with profound historical and cultural background, is a famous historical and cultural city in China and a waterfront eco-tourism city. Besides Confucius and Mencius, Fu Hui and historian Zuo Qiuming were also born here, and Jining is an outstanding place.

Among them, with Confucius as the main representative, Nishan Holy Land has become a punching resort in Jining area.

Mount Nishan is more than 340 meters above sea level, with five peaks standing side by side and five rivers converging. This is the birthplace of Confucius, and it is also a holy place for Confucian scholars in past dynasties. According to historical records, Confucius' parents "prayed for Confucius in the mud mound", so Nishan is famous far and near.

As a result, it has created a holy land, promoted Confucius culture and Confucianism, and become a provincial-level cultural tourist attraction in Nishan, with a lot of tourists.

Entering here is like entering "Confucius' world", and its general idea is "Confucius' world, Confucius in the world". The 72-meter-high bronze statue of Confucius stands in front of us. It is the tallest bronze statue of Confucius in the world, which highly implies that Confucius has 72 disciples of saints.

Under aerial photography, I saw a bronze statue of Confucius standing on the mountain on the west side of the Confucius Temple in Nishan Holy Land, with his back to the mountain and the lake facing south. The pedestal height is 18m, the statue height is 72m, and the elevation is 273.8m It is the largest and highest statue of Confucius in the world, and it is also a landmark attraction of Nishan Holy Land.

It is understood that this statue of Confucius was shaped according to the image orientation of "amiable, respectable", "teacher, elder and wise man" with reference to Wu Daozi's Picture of Confucius as a Teacher in Tang Dynasty.

Entering the scenic spot, no matter which direction you look, you can see this amiable and respectable wise man.

Wise people enjoy water, benevolent people enjoy Leshan, and mountains and rivers set each other off into interest, perfectly presenting the humanistic landscape of "one mountain, one water and one saint".

The university hall next to it embodies the essence and achievements of this wise man, teacher and elder, but his wisdom and thoughts still need everyone to understand, feel and accept.

The university hall is built on the mountain, and the wisdom of Confucianism and modern architectural art are all in it.

Ordered and ritualized cultural spaces such as Jixian Hall, Daxue Road, Seventy-two Xianlang, Rentang Hall, Yitang Hall, Auditorium, Wisdom Hall, Xintang Hall, Auditorium, etc., let everyone feel different cultural themes through different spaces, and the design of each space is a fusion of Confucianism and the aesthetics of traditional China ancient buildings.

Here, you can not only feel the thoughts of Confucius, but also appreciate the classic works of China traditional art, such as Dongyang woodcarving, Shanxi clay sculpture, Suzhou embroidery, Fuzhou lacquer painting and Jingdezhen ceramic painting.

The university auditorium suddenly changed from a cultural auditorium to an art auditorium.

Inside, there are performances with different themes every day, the most shocking of which is the performance of "Golden Sound and Jade Zhen" by Ritual Hall.

Jin Shengyu Zhen runs through people's life, deducing the process of "from ordinary to sacred", guiding the audience to enter the picture of "ode to elegance" and feel the ritualized lifestyle.

The whole performance is divided into three chapters and nine sections, and the duration is about 1 hour.

China's classical art forms, such as poetry, music and dance, are combined with modern scientific and technological means, such as stage installation, large-scale machinery and holographic images, and the important ceremonies involved in the four seasons and nine stages of life are taken as the main axis to show the growth process of ordinary people under the guidance of sage thought.

Whether it is the people in the performance or the audience, in this music, in this elegant world, everyone echoes the gentleman's wind.

Mountains and rivers have their own merits, and benevolence is our pursuit. Even if we can't reach them, we must yearn for them.

So, why is this performance in Nishan Holy Land named after these four words?

Friends who have been to the Confucius Temple in Qufu must be familiar with the word "Jin Sheng Yu Zhen". The starting point of visiting Confucius Temple is Jin Shengyu Zhen Fang.

There is a saying in "Mencius Zhang Wan", "Jin Sheng Yu Zhen is a master." . Jinyin is also the beginning; Yu Zhen also, eventually coherent ... "This sentence.

It symbolizes Confucius' great contribution to culture, just like playing music, using golden bells and jade bells to gather rhyme, which is a great achievement of many voices.
