Rebirth as an official

After getting on the bus, Xu Li contacted the person in charge of Songjiang Confucian Temple by telephone, hoping that they would cooperate with the foreign guests. As soon as the person in charge of the Confucian temple heard that the leading comrades of the municipal Party committee's office wanted to bring foreign guests to the Confucian temple, they certainly did not dare to refuse and promised that they would arrange reception and cooperate with the work of the municipal Party committee.

The Songjiang Confucian temple is located on the Bank of the Songjiang River. The car has only driven for more than ten minutes, and it has already arrived at the Songjiang Confucian temple. Carl didn't expect to arrive so soon. Until he got off the bus and saw the Songjiang Confucian temple complex composed of 21 single buildings in front of him, he finally believed that Xu Li didn't cheat him. However, he could not help sighing: "China's history is too long, and its cultural heritage is too rich! Even this kind of ancient architecture can be seen everywhere. It's really amazing that it's hidden in this downtown area! "

Xu Liyi smiles that the 5000 year history of China is certainly beyond their comprehension. Let's talk about the Confucian temple. Every building and facility here has profound cultural connotation. Even if it is explained to these Germans, they can't understand it.

Xu Li takes Karl and others to xiyuanmen, ready to enter the Confucian temple. But a German suddenly asked Xu Li, "Mr. Xu, I remember most of your Chinese buildings are facing south, and the gate is to open South. But as a place for worshiping the greatest people in China, why do you go to the west gate?"

Xu Li couldn't help frowning. He brought these people here just to let them spend some time. He didn't expect to be their commentator again.

However, looking at the questioner's expectation, Xu Li could not refuse. At the same time, Carl explained: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, this is our architecture expert Danio. Whenever he goes, his biggest interest is to study the local architecture. Whether it's ancient architecture or modern architecture, it will make him infatuated. I hope Mr. Xu Li doesn't mind his irrationality!"

"Never mind! Mr. Danio, in fact, our Confucian temple also faces south. His gate is also in the South... "

Before Xu Li finished speaking, Carl's secretary Schmidt, who was standing on one side, said: "Mr. Xu, we are your guests. Why do you want us to go through the small gate here? Is that how you treat your guests? "

When other German guests listen to Schmidt's words, their faces are not good-looking. Xu Li glared at Schmidt and explained: "don't get me wrong! It is true that the South Gate of the Confucian temple is the main gate. But since the day he built it. The front door has never been opened

"Why? Is the main entrance just a decoration? Why not let everyone go? " As an architecture expert, Danio certainly has to ask the truth. He doesn't want his works in China to be unable to go because they don't conform to the habits of Chinese people.

"I think you should know something about our country when you come to China." Seeing that all the German guests nodded their heads one after another, Xu Li Cai took them to the front of the gate of the Confucian temple and said, "this is a common wall used in ancient Chinese buildings."

Danio said: "I know that the screen wall is used to block." Looking at other colleagues looking at him, Danio said with more pride: "in ancient China, the courtyard built by a large family must have a screen wall to prevent other people from peeping at the home. Mr. Xu. Am I right? "

Xu Li nodded his head and said, "Mr. Danio is really an expert in architecture. He also studies Chinese architecture."

Danio said with a smile: "of course, if we don't study the ancient Chinese architecture, how can we design a five-star hotel with Chinese characteristics in line with China's national conditions?"

Xu Li was stunned and asked, "Mr. Danio wants to build a five-star hotel in China? I don't know where it is? "

Danio just wanted to talk, but was interrupted by Carl on the other side“ Mr. Xu, let's continue to introduce this Confucian temple to us! "

Since Carl didn't want Danio to go on talking, Xu Li would no longer ask in front of everyone, so he went on to introduce: "according to our Chinese customs. The main gate in front of the Zhaobi of the Confucian temple could not be turned into a gate without the local champion. Because after the completion of the Songjiang Confucian temple, the imperial examination system has been abolished. Of course, it is impossible to have the number one scholar. Therefore, this door has never been opened and will not be opened in the future. So when we go to the Confucian temple, we can only go through the Xiyuan gate. "

With Xu Li's words, these German talents suddenly realized. No more questions. Instead, they scattered around, looking for what they were interested in and appreciating it carefully.

Xu Li saw that everyone had dispersed. He doesn't know how to separate himself. Of course, he can't explain it to everyone. Look, Carl has turned the screen wall, stepped over the Zhuangyuan bridge and went to Dacheng hall.

Dacheng hall is the main hall for offering sacrifices to Confucius. It is surrounded by white jade carvings. It is 3 meters long from east to west, 25 meters wide from north to south, and 19.46 meters high. It has 9 rooms in width and 5 rooms in depth. It is a typical palace building with nine Phoenix on the ridge. In particular, there are countless ink treasures in the hall“ "Wanshishibiao" was written by Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty. It was originally in the Imperial Palace and was given by the palace after the completion of the Confucian temple“ "People's livelihood has not been" was inscribed by Yongzheng, which means that since ancient times, there has never been such a superior person as Confucius“ It means that Confucius' virtue is equal to heaven and earth“ "Shengjidacheng" was written by jiaqingyu, which means Confucius collected sages and sages“ "Sheng Xie Zhong Zhong" is inscribed by Daoguang, which means that it is appropriate for Confucius to stand up and act.

These ink treasures have infinite attraction for Karl, who thinks he is a China expert. However, these are far less attractive to Danio, an architecture expert, than to dachengdian itself. So when everyone went into the Dacheng hall to see the scenery, Danio turned around the Dacheng hall a few times and nodded from time to time.

Seeing that no one else was nearby, Xu Li leaned up, pointed to Jiulong Jiufeng on the ridge of the hall, and said, "the word" Nine "has the meaning of immeasurable in the traditional Chinese sense, and it is also a high place in the Chinese hierarchy; Dragon and Phoenix are auspicious symbols. In particular, the color painting of Dacheng hall is a kind of big dot gold spiral painting, which can only be used in the imperial palace. "
