Chapter 929 928 [Father Kong’s Chicken Is Exposed on His Head]
Li Zongwu couldn't bear his curiosity, so he took Zhou Hexuan to the Confucian Temple in the afternoon. On the way, he kept asking: "Brother Zhou, are there any good things?"
Zhou Hexuan carried a camera and said with a smile: "As long as I go to Fushun Confucian Temple to take a picture, it will immediately cause a sensation in the entire Chinese academic community."
Li Zongwu pointed at Nan Huaijin and said funnyly: "Kid, come and take a photo. This is your chance to become famous."
Nan Huaijin shook his head and said, "I'm not very good at taking pictures."
When everyone arrived at the county seat, Zhou Hexuan immediately asked Sun Yongzhen and Zhu Guozhen to borrow a ladder. It took a long time before they arrived in front of the Confucian Temple.
In terms of its long history and exquisiteness, Fushun Confucian Temple should be ranked among the top five Confucian temples in the South.
This Confucian Temple was built in the fourth year of Qingli Dynasty. It is a well-preserved Song Dynasty building complex. Because the salt merchants were rich, they built it magnificently. The Zhuangyuan Bridge in most Confucian temples in China is flat, while the Fushun Confucian Temple is a Kowloon hollow stone arch bridge. The 12 towering pillars of Lingxing Gate are even taller than those of Qufu Confucius Temple. In front of Dacheng Hall is the Nine Dragon Pillar, which is carved with three layers of hollowed-out Nine Dragon stone sculptures.
Li Zongwu said with emotion: "Fushun produces talented people. There was a saying in Sichuan during the Ming Dynasty, which was called 'Fushun talented people are Neijiang officials'. Unfortunately, the literary style declined in the Qing Dynasty."
In the Ming Dynasty, the small Fushun County produced 139 Jinshis, accounting for one-third of the total number of Jinshis in Sichuan.
There is a donation box outside the palace wall of the Confucian Temple and an anti-Japanese propaganda board. Li Zongwu walked over, threw a few coins into the box, and said: "The Confucian Temple is now the Anti-Japanese War propaganda center in Fushun County. I don't know how much of the money I donated can actually be used for the Anti-Japanese War."
Zhou Hexuan also put in 100 yuan of French currency and said with a smile: "It's a little thought."
Sun Yongzhen and Zhu Guozhen carried a long ladder into the door, and soon someone inside shouted: "What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing? Move out quickly!"
Li Zongwu held his head high, strode in, and said, "Young Liu, don't call me ghosts!"
The youngest Liu was stunned when he saw Li Zongwu, and then came over to greet him with a smile: "It turns out to be Teacher Li, why did you come to the Confucian Temple?"
Li Zongwu was full of nonsense: "I am going to change the Confucian Temple into Houhei Temple. I will bring the masons here today to have a look. From now on, you will be the temple blessing of Houhei Temple."
The youngest Liu said with a grimace: "Teacher Li, please don't trick me, it's so scary."
Zhou Hexuan did not go up the ladder directly to the house to uncover the tiles, but wandered around the Confucian Temple. At this time, the Fushun Confucian Temple was very complete. Some buildings were soon to be bombed by Japanese aircraft. They were not repaired until the 21st century. The bombed places were used for other purposes.
"Click, click!"
Zhou Hexuan took pictures everywhere with his camera. If these photos were shown to Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, they would definitely arouse their great interest.
The youngest Liu was a staff member of the Fushun County Anti-Japanese War Propaganda Activity Center. He followed around in confusion and said anxiously: "Teacher Li, what are you here for? Just give me a sweet word."
Li Zongwu scolded: "You don't even know Mr. Zhou, but you still have the nerve to engage in anti-war propaganda!"
"Which Mr. Zhou?" Liu Lao asked.
Li Zongwu said: "Donghua reincarnated as Zhou Shenxian, and he donated one or two hundred airplanes."
"Zhou Zhouzhou...Zhou Shenxian?" Liu Lao Yao looked carefully and suddenly shouted excitedly, "Brothers, come out and see Mr. Zhou! The living Zhou Shenxian is not the one in the newspaper!"
Several people immediately ran out of the Anti-Japanese War Propaganda Office, looking around Zhou Hexuan. The youngest Liu even brought a pen and paper and said, "Mr. Zhou, it's rare for you to come here once, so please be sure to leave your calligraphy treasure!"
Zhou Hexuan put down the camera and asked: "What should you write about? The Confucian Temple or the Anti-Japanese War?"
Liu Lao Yao said: "The war of resistance, the war of resistance is important!"
Zhou Hexuan took up his pen and wrote the eight characters "United as one, we will win the war of resistance".
Liu Lao Yao was overjoyed. He held the rice paper carefully and said, "I will report to the county magistrate later to engrave Mr. Zhou's calligraphy in the Confucian Temple!"
Zhou Hexuan ordered: "Put up a ladder!"
The Chongsheng Temple in the Confucian Temple has two floors, and the ladder is not high enough. Zhou Hexuan could only step on the tiles and continue to climb up in a thrilling way.
Climbing to the roof, there is a tower-shaped tripod standing in the center of the roof ridge. There are several wooden carvings carved in the tripod.
The wood carving on the bottom floor is a naked boy wearing a bellyband.
The penis under the naked boy's crotch is huge and eye-catching. One finger points to the sky and the other hand points to the ground. This is unique among the Confucian temples in the country.
Chongsheng Temple is dedicated to Confucius’ father and belongs to Confucius’ family temple. What the hell is the sculpture of a naked child carved on the roof?
Zhou Hexuan took more than a dozen photos from different angles, then slowly crawled back to the ground, handed the youngest Liu a few hundred yuan in French currency and said, "I stepped on a few tiles, and this is the compensation."
Nan Huaijin asked: "Mr. Zhou, what were you filming just now?"
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "You will know when you go up and see for yourself."
Nan Huaijin climbed up to the roof with full of doubts. He was dumbfounded when he saw the statue of a naked man, and exclaimed: "It's really strange. How could there be such a thing?"
"What the hell is that!" Li Zongwu was furious.
Nan Huaijin said: "There is a sculpture of a naked boy here, which is one foot high, and the things under the crotch (Harmony) are lifelike."
Li Zongwu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hey, are you going to stand on Kong Laoer's father's head and urinate?"
Nan Huaijin added: "The naked boy pointed to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, as if he was hinting at something."
Li Zongwu said happily: "That must be the case of exposing Confucius's penis on his father's head without wearing pants, while peeing and saying, I am the only one in heaven and on earth!"
Nan Huaijin thought: "I think it comes from the Analects of Confucius: A gentleman has three fears, fear of destiny, fear of adults, and fear of the words of saints. One finger pointing to the sky implies destiny, and one hand pointing to the ground implies the words of saints. The naked boy in the middle represents a moral gentleman. "
"It's all nonsense." Li Zongwu obviously disagreed.
Nan Huaijin asked: "Then what do you mean?"
Li Zongwu said: "How do I know? Ever since there were Confucian temples in China, this kind of thing has never happened for more than a thousand years."
Liu Laoyao and other staff who had been stationed in the Confucian Temple for a long time also climbed up to the roof one by one and started discussions around the naked boy with great interest.
Zhou Hexuan asked: "Brother Li, where is the photo studio in the county? I want to develop these photos."
"I'll take you there." Li Zongwu thought as he walked, and he found a new research object.
Nan Huaijin followed Zhou Hexuan and asked, "Mr. Zhou, what does the naked boy mean?"
Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Nan Huaijin was a little disappointed: "It seems that I haven't read enough books, otherwise I would definitely be able to find out the answer."
Zhou Hexuan said: "If you want to read, I have a lot of Buddhist and Taoist classics in my home. You are welcome to borrow them at any time."
This can be regarded as compensation. Due to the butterfly effect brought about by Zhou Hexuan, Nan Huaijin has not seriously read Taoist classics.
Historically, Nan Huaijin read Taoism at Qiushui Villa in Hangzhou. The Qiushui Villa was built by Shi Liangcai specifically for his concubine. There were countless books in it. After the death of Shi Liangcai and his concubine, it became an empty house. Nan Huaijin often climbed over the wall to find books to read.
Now that Shi Liangcai is still alive and well, Nan Huaijin cannot sneak into Qiushui Villa to study...
