Shandong City is a province with major tourism resources in my country and has many attractions. Shandong is one of the birthplaces of ancient Chinese culture. This great land not only has famous mountains, rivers and vast expanse of blue waves, but also has given birth to a very splendid civilization during the long historical development of civilization. Below is an introduction to several tourist attractions in Shandong Province. I hope you will like it.

Qufu Ming Ancient City was built in the Ming Dynasty to protect the Confucius Temple. The ancient city of the Ming Dynasty is dotted with cultural relics and historic sites such as the Confucius Temple, the Confucian Mansion, the Yan Temple, the Confucius Houses of the past dynasties, and the ancient Panchi and Qianlong Palaces, which embodies the ancient urban style and profound cultural charm of Qufu, the ancient capital of the Lu State. In the late 1970s, most of the walls of Qufu Ming Ancient City were demolished.

Confucius Mansion, whose real name is Yanshenggong Mansion, is located to the east of the Confucius Temple in Qufu City. It is the residence of Confucius' direct descendants. Yanshenggong was a title given by Song Renzong to Confucius' 46th generation grandson Kong Zongyuan in the second year of Zhihe in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 1055). This title was inherited by descendants for 32 generations, lasting 880 years.

Yanshenggong was a privileged nobleman in China's feudal society. In the Song Dynasty, he was equivalent to an eighth-grade official. In the Yuan Dynasty, he was promoted to a third-grade official. In the early Ming Dynasty, he was a first-grade civil official, and later became "the first civil official in the class." The Qing Dynasty also allowed people to ride horses in the Forbidden City and walk on the royal roads.

The Confucius Mansion covers an area of ??240 acres and has 463 halls, halls, buildings and rooms. There are nine entrances to the courtyard, with a three-way layout: the east road is Dongxue, where Yiguantang, Mu'en Hall, Kong's family temple and workshops are built; the west road is Xixue, where there are Hongcaixuan, Zhongshu Hall, Anhuai Hall, and Flower Hall; Kong The main part of the mansion is on the middle road, with the government office in the front, three halls and six halls, the inner house in the back, including the front upper room, front and rear halls, annex buildings, six rooms in the back, etc., and finally the garden.

Konglin, originally called the Holy Forest, is the cemetery of Confucius and his family. After Confucius died, his disciples buried him on the Surabaya River in the north of Lucheng. At that time, it was still "a tomb without a grave" (no high soil bulge). In the Qin and Han Dynasties, although the tombs were built high, there were still only a small number of cemeteries and a few forest guards. Later, as Confucius' status increased, the scale of Confucius Forest became larger and larger. In the third year of Emperor Yongshou of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 157), Lu Xiang Han ordered the construction of Confucius's tomb. He built a divine door in front of the tomb and a room for sleeping quarters in the southeast. Wu Chu and other households were used to sweep the tomb of Confucius. One hectare". Only 600 trees were planted during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. During the Xuanhe period of the Song Dynasty, stone rituals were built in front of Confucius's tomb. In the second year of Emperor Zhishun of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1331), Kong Sikai majored in the forest wall and built the forest gate. In the 10th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1684), Konglin was expanded to 3,000 acres. In the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign (AD 1730), Confucius Forest was overhauled. 25,300 taels of money were spent on various gates, and specialized officers were assigned to guard them. According to statistics, since the Han Dynasty, Confucius Forest has been renovated and expanded 13 times in the past dynasties, trees were planted 5 times, and the forest land was expanded 3 times. The walls surrounding the entire Konglin are 7.25 kilometers long. The walls are more than 3 meters high and about 5 meters thick. The total area is 2 square kilometers, which is much larger than Qufu City. As a clan cemetery, Konglin has been buried for more than 2,000 years. Uninterrupted. Here you can not only examine the tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the tombs of the Qin and Han Dynasties, but also study the political, economic and cultural development of our country in the past dynasties and the evolution of funeral customs. In 1961, the State Council announced it as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. "The tomb has been around for thousands of years, but the forest is deep and cold in May." There are now more than 100,000 trees in Konglin. It is said that after Confucius died, "each of his disciples planted strange trees from all directions, so there were many strange trees, and the people of Lu could not name them for generations." To this day, people still cannot name some trees in Confucius Forest. Among them, various large trees such as cypress, juniper, oak, elm, locust, Kai, Pu, maple, poplar, willow, Tanluoli, privet, Wuwei, cherry blossoms, etc., have intricate roots and luxuriant branches; wild chrysanthemum, pinellia, woodland, etc. Hundreds of kinds of plants, such as Hu, Pseudostellariae, Ganoderma lucidum, etc., also compete for glory in due course. Konglin is indeed a natural botanical garden. "The broken monument is deep in the trees, and there is no way to see it." In the Confucius Forest, shaded by thousands of trees, there are forests of steles and stone rituals. In addition to a group of famous Han steles that were moved into the Confucius Temple, there are also tombstones inscribed by famous calligraphers of the Ming and Qing dynasties such as Li Dongyang, Yan Song, Weng Fanggang, He Shaoji, and Kang Youwei. Therefore, Konglin can also be called a veritable forest of steles.

The Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion and Confucius Forest Park in Qufu City, Shandong Province are the only largest building complex in China that combines the residences for the direct descendants of Confucius and the cemeteries of Confucius and his descendants. Confucius (551 BC ~ 419 BC) was the founder of Chinese Confucianism. In the second year after his death, his residence was converted into a Confucius Temple, where sacrifices were held every year. After the Han Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties advocated respecting Confucius and reading scriptures. They also continued to posthumous titles and titles to Confucius. At the same time, he expanded his ancestral temple, and the scale of the Confucius temple became larger and larger.
