An 800-word essay on visiting Xu Shen Cultural Park

On an afternoon in early winter, the weather was fine and the sun was shining. With a feeling of pilgrimage, I came to the Xu Shen Cultural Park located in the northeast corner of the city.

Approaching Xu Shen Culture Park, the first thing that catches the eye is the broad Liushu Stone Pillar Square. Six granite stone pillars about six meters high are lined up in two rows, standing on the east and west sides of the square outside the park gate. They are engraved with pictograms, instructions, understandings, and phonetic sounds. The theories and word examples of six books such as , transfer, and borrowing. Before entering the park, I could already feel the strong cultural atmosphere of Chinese characters.

After crossing the gate of the park, I saw a stretching avenue of Chinese characters. In front of you. It leads directly to the Temple of Characters, in the shape of an unfolded scroll, 80 meters long. I heard that this symbolizes the vicissitudes of Chinese characters that have been in existence for 8,000 years. The Avenue of Chinese Characters starts from prehistoric ancient symbols, using stone carvings and copper castings. The craftsmanship shows the ten important stages of the development of Chinese characters. As I browsed along, I learned in detail the twists and turns of the development and evolution of Chinese characters.

I walked along the avenue of Chinese characters, and soon I came to the park The core building of the temple is the Zi Temple. The Zi Temple is magnificent and is a Han Dynasty style building with nine openings and nine entrances. It has a wood and stone structure and a gold brick paved floor. The name of the temple was written by Ouyang Zhongshi, a famous Chinese calligrapher, with simple and elegant fonts. Entering the main hall, the first thing you see is a tall bronze seated statue of Xu Shen covered with gold foil. He is solemn, elegant, wise, and makes people feel amiable and respectable. There is an incense burner in front of the bronze statue, and tourists burn incense and worship from time to time. Passing the bronze statue and walking north, I saw relief glyphs on the screen wall behind the bronze statue. When I looked closer, I saw that they were engraved with 540 radicals based on Chinese characters created by Xu Shen.

Go out After the main hall and passing a tall archway, I came to the bronze statue of Xu Shen located in the tomb protection area. This statue is about 3 meters high. Xu Shen is wearing a Hanfu with wide sleeves and long train. He holds a scroll of bamboo slips on the back of his right hand and his left hand. book, looking at the south with a peaceful expression. Unfortunately, due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, the bronze statue turned dark black. I took several photos in a row, but the results were not good.

The statue of Xu Shen is not far behind. The place where Xu Shen rests is the tomb of Xu Shen. The tomb is about 5 meters high and 33 meters in circumference. The entire tomb is covered with white or yellow chrysanthemums, like a huge flower basket. There are three stone tablets in front of the tomb. , the two monuments on the east side have a longer history: one was erected by Wen Deyu, the magistrate of Yancheng County in the 46th year of Kangxi, with the seven characters "Tomb of Han Xiaolian Xu Gong"; the other was erected by Wang Fengsen, the magistrate of Yancheng County in the second year of Guangxu , on it was engraved the article "The Record of Master Xu's Sacrifice at the Confucian Temple" written by him, but unfortunately some of the handwriting was blurred.

After that, I also visited the Shuowen Hall, Shu Chong Hall, and Zigang Archway. and Kuixing Pavilion and other buildings. Throughout the entire park, whether it is old monuments or new landscapes, they are integrated into one, giving people a heavy and simple feeling, all showing the long history of Chinese culture. Wandering here is like being in the world I can't help but think about the long history of Chinese character culture and Chinese civilization.

When I visited the Xu Shen Cultural Park, I was once again strongly shocked and couldn't help falling deeper in love with the place under my feet. The film has a long history
