We all know that there are two holy places in the hearts of Westerners in the West, one is Jerusalem, the holy land of Christianity, and the other is Mecca, the holy land of Islam. In the eyes of Westerners, these two places are unparalleled sacred existences.

We Chinese people really don’t believe in God from the bottom of our hearts, so basically there are no holy places for gods. If we really want to line up the holy places of gods, we estimate that China can arrange dozens of holy places. .

There are too many such as Zhang Tianshi’s Longhu Mountain, Zhang Sanfeng’s Wudang Mountain, Guanshiyin’s Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea, and the Shaolin Temple in Dengfeng, Henan. In Taoism alone, there are ten big caves, ten small caves, and seventy-two blessed places. Any one of them can be regarded as a holy place.

Although we do not pay attention to the holy places of gods, we have paid attention to the holy places of saints since ancient times. The birthplace of saint culture is naturally the holy place in the hearts of us Chinese.

Today, let’s just talk about the three holy places in Shandong! The three real holy places!

A hundred years ago, a famous diplomat, Gu Weijun, said a classic famous saying in Paris - China cannot lose Shandong, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem! Eighty years later, Chen Daoming reproduced this classic saying that has been passed down for thousands of years in the movie "My 1919": China cannot lose Shandong, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem.

Although, this sentence could not save Shandong at that time, nor could it save China at that time. However, this sentence also made it clear to the world: Shandong is the holy land of China!

Why is Shandong the holy land of China? As everyone in China knows, our official Chinese saint, Confucius, was born here and spoke here.

So, the first holy place in Shandong is also the first holy place in Chinese history - Qufu! People all over the country know this.

Actually, it is said to be Qufu, but it is not just Qufu, because Qufu never exists alone. It is a comprehensive place, because there are also Zoucheng City and Sishui County.

Zoucheng City is the location of the palace and ancestral temple of the sub-sage Mencius. Mencius was also from Qufu, but in ancient times, the boundary between Qufu and Zoucheng was not strict. Meng's mother moved to Zoucheng three times, so the Meng Mansion fell in Zoucheng.

Sishui County is said to be the hometown of the ancestor Fuxi. Since it is a legend, it is not certain, so I can only say a few words.

Everyone knows about this holy place, so can you guess the other two holy places in Shandong?

Let’s not show off. To put it bluntly - the second most sacred place in Shandong - Tengzhou!

Isn’t that surprising? Why is Tengzhou said to be the second most sacred place in Shandong? Come and see——

One: The hometown of Mozi, the birthplace of Mohist culture, and the holy land of Mohism.

2: The hometown of Luban, the birthplace of engineering culture, manufacturing culture, mechanical culture, drone culture, driverless culture and other cultures, the holy land of hundreds of industries.

How is it? Is it fierce?

Moreover, this is the hometown of Xi Zhong and the holy land of car culture.

Ordinarily, if there was only one Mozi, Tengzhou might not be ranked as the second most sacred place. It is with the blessings of the two saints, Lu Ban and Xi Zhong, that Tengzhou can be ranked as the birthplace of saints. Remaining firmly in second place.

Even looking at the whole country, apart from the birthplace of the ancient great sages, Tengzhou’s sage status can also be ranked in the top three, or second only to Qufu and Luyi County, the hometown of Laozi.

Tengzhou is adjacent to Zoucheng and Qufu in the north, and the three places are only a hundred miles apart. Tengzhou is south of Wangzhou, only a hundred miles away from Peixian County, the holy land of the Han Dynasty. It leans on the Yimeng Mountains to the east and Weishan Weizi Lake to the west. It is the wonderful land of China and the thoroughfare of Kyushu.

However, due to the sluggish economy in the north and poor publicity in recent years, many people do not know that Tengzhou is still a holy place, the hometown of Mo Sheng and Gong Sheng.

I won’t say much about Mr. Mo. Even Chairman Mao praised him as very smart. He came from Confucianism and created his own Mohism. He loved not only focusing on abstinence but also using abstinence and burial. He had forward thinking and was completely According to the doctrinal model established by modern social life, the scholar at that time was Yang Jimo. His disciples were known as the giants, and he was the founder of Heishehui, famous for his studies.

Mr. Ban and Mr. Mo are fellow villagers, buddies, and rivals. I really don’t know how these two brothers handle such a complicated relationship. [呲呲]

Why is Mr. Ban said to be the founder of drones? He made a wooden bird with his own hands and let it fly in the sky for three days and three nights without coming down. [Like] Here’s something to say. DJI Drone: Come to Tengzhou to pay homage to your ancestor. [Struggle]

Mr. Ban also built an autonomous car for his mother, but he lost his mother. This is because the technology was not mature enough at the time! It needs to be strengthened by future generations.

Here’s another quote from Baidu Driverless: Come to Tengzhou to pay homage to your ancestor! Tell your ancestor: Your driverless car is better than his old man! [呲呲]

There are also carpenters, blacksmiths, masons, people who work on machine tools, and people who make machinery. Come on, come on, come to Tengzhou to pay homage to your ancestor. [呲呲]

Tell me, which ancestor could have so many disciples and disciples? When it comes to the number of descendants of the group, the class teacher said that he is second, who dares to take the first place?

Not to mention Xi Zhong, come, come, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Rolls-Royce, and of course Great Wall, Geely, BYD, all come to Tengzhou to pay homage to your ancestor! [呲呲]

Actually, let’s talk about the Central Plains, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu. It’s really amazing. If you pick any county, you can find a string of sages. This area is the contractor. For thousands of years, China has been contracted by this area for more than half of it.

Now that we have finished talking about the second one, it’s time to talk about the third holy land in Shandong. It is Guangrao Huimin County, the birthplace of military culture.

There is controversy over the hometown of Sun Tzu. Some say it is Guangrao, and some say it is Huimin County. There is no conclusion yet. Anyway, there are records of Sun Tzu in both places. In order not to cause controversy. Let’s count both of them.

Grandson, no need to introduce more, right? That was the ancestor of military strategists, second only to Jiang Ziya. And this man left behind a masterpiece: Sun Tzu's Art of War. There is no final conclusion on Jiang Taigong's art of war. Therefore, it is safe to say that Sun Tzu is the ancestor of war.

Needless to say, Master Sun’s disciples and disciples, right? Soldiers and generals, please come to Guangrao Huimin to worship your ancestor. [呲呲]

Qufu (including Zoucheng), Tengzhou, and Guangrao (including Huimin) are the three holy places in Shandong and the birthplace of three of the hundreds of cultures in our history. The strong cultural atmosphere and extensive historical accumulation in several places have shone with colorful light throughout the history of China.

Including Luyi, the holy land of Taoism, Xiping, the holy land of law, Xi'an, the thousand-year-old ancient capital, Kaifeng, Luoyang, etc. These are the holy places that support our history and our culture. Feel the prosperity, downturn, and revival of seven thousand years. , feel our past!

In this life, you should take a walk and experience for yourself the mental journey of these sages and ancestors.

Dear friends, after looking at the three holy places in Shandong above, let’s talk about the places of saints and saints in your province!
