M52***87The Henan Museum's exhibition on Confucius's travels around the states: This classic portrait is probably in every school...we've seen it since we were little. Although we don't know what Confucius actually looked like, the Sage Master was indeed a strong man over nine feet tall... Confucius looked like Yang Hu, and one of his disciples looked very much like him. It seems many portraits of ancient figures depict two large front teeth...like Confucius, the Yellow Emperor, Shennong...perhaps this was an auspicious omen for sages (or immortals) in the eyes of the ancients. The earliest known portrait of Confucius was unearthed from the Haihunhou Tomb (along with the Qi Analects, the Book of Songs, 125 kilograms of gold, and a mountain of copper coins...). The Confucius Family Mansion's collection, "Illustrations of Sacred Sites," depicts the main events in Confucius's life from childhood. In the childhood portrait, who is wearing a hat? A headscarf? Is that child Confucius...? There's also a rubbing of a brick depicting Confucius asking Laozi about rites, and a short animation of it, which is quite interesting. (I wonder if the Confucius Mansion will publish a comic book version of "Illustrations of Sacred Sites"?) The "Illustrations of the Book of Songs" is very interesting, but unfortunately, only a small section can be seen. Confucius's hometown was in the State of Song. Confucius traveled to many countries. He visited the State of Qi. "In Qi, upon hearing the Shao music, I forgot the taste of meat for three months." Qi was known for its beautiful women, the most famous probably being the one in the poem "Shuoren" (The Great Woman). "The Great Woman of Wei" "The Great Woman is tall and slender, dressed in brocade and a simple robe. She is the daughter of the Marquis of Qi, the wife of the Marquis of Wei, the younger sister of the Crown Prince, the aunt of the Marquis of Xing, and the concubine of the Duke of Tan. Her hands are like tender shoots, her skin like congealed fat, her neck like a cicada's, her teeth like melon seeds, her forehead broad and her eyebrows arched, her smile enchanting, her eyes bright and beautiful." Xuan Jiang, from the poem "Two Sons in a Boat," was also a beauty from Qi (and married into Wei...it seems the rulers of Wei were either licentious and tyrannical, or utterly foolish...how could such a small state survive until the end of the Warring States period...) *The Book of Songs: Two Sons in a Boat* Two sons in a boat, drifting aimlessly. I long for my sons, my heart aches with longing! Two sons in a boat, drifting aimlessly away. I long for my sons, without fear of harm! The brotherly love between Ji Zi and Gongzi Shou is truly touching! Especially considering the many fratricide during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods... I once visited Wei. Confucius said, "I have never seen anyone who loves virtue as much as he loves beauty." Confucius met Nanzi. "Heaven despises him! Heaven despises him!" There was a movie called *Confucius* starring Chow Yun-fat and Zhou Xun, with Faye Wong singing the theme song. Although Nanzi's headdress was a bit bizarre, the movie was alright... I once got lost at the east gate of Zheng... "Confucius went to Zheng, and lost his disciples. Confucius alone..." A man from Zheng said to Zigong, “There is a man at the east gate of Zheng. His face resembles Yao, his neck resembles Gao Yao, and his shoulders resemble Zichan. However, from the waist down, he is three inches shorter than Yu, and he looks like a homeless dog.” Zigong told Confucius the truth. Confucius laughed and said, “Appearance is secondary. But to say he looks like a homeless dog, is that true? Is that true?” This east gate of Zheng should be the same east gate from the poem “Going out of the east gate, there are women like clouds.” (From the *Zheng Feng* section of the *Book of Songs*, "Going out of the East Gate") Going out of the east gate, there are women like clouds. Though they are like clouds, they are not what I desire. In white robes and black kerchiefs, they bring me joy. Going out of the gate, there are women like withered leaves. Though they are like withered leaves, they are not what I desire. In white robes and withered leaves, they bring me some amusement. It is hard to imagine that, surrounded by joyful young men and women, Confucius wandered aimlessly, looking like a homeless dog. The city gate currently under construction in Zhenwei River City is probably the East Gate. Perhaps NPCs could play the role of disciples, searching for Confucius amidst a sea of beautiful women... (But this would require a tall, refined, and robust man...) The *Records of the Grand Historian* states, "In the past, King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned in Youli, where he developed the *Book of Changes*; Confucius was trapped in Chen and Cai, where he wrote the *Spring and Autumn Annals*; Qu Yuan was exiled, where he composed the *Li Sao*." He was once trapped between Chen and Cai. He did not eat for seven days, yet his music and singing never ceased. Today, there is still a "Musical Stage" in Huaiyang, Zhoukou, to commemorate him. The State of Chen also had many beautiful women. Lady Xi, also known as Lady Peach Blossom, was the daughter of the ruler of Chen. She married the Marquis of Xi, but was later forcibly taken by the King of Chu. There was a short animation about Lady Xi in *Six Hundred Years of Cai* (the Xinyang Museum also has a statue of Lady Xi, as well as Lord Chunshen). Wang Wei wrote a poem: Lady Xi Do not let present favor make you forget past kindness. Tears well up at the sight of flowers, I cannot speak with the King of Chu. There is a beautiful poem in the *Chen Feng* section of the *Book of Songs*, which is the very same poem from Su Shi's *Ode to the Red Cliff*: "Reciting the poem of the bright moon, singing the graceful verses." *Chen Feng* - The Moon Rises The moon rises bright. Beautiful is the fair maiden. Graceful and charming. My heart is troubled. The moon rises white. Beautiful is the radiant maiden. Sorrowful and nurtured. My heart is troubled. The moon rises shining. Beautiful is the dazzling maiden. Graceful and charming. My heart is filled with sorrow. Combining this with other poems from the *Book of Songs* evokes a unique feeling.

3. The Yellow River Scenic Area of Zhengzhou

No. 13 of Family-friendly Attractions in Henan

M52***13Zhengzhou's cultural park is well worth a visit, fully showcasing Henan's long history. The statues of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor are truly awe-inspiring, and the geological museum inside is incredibly educational.

5. Yijiangnan Resort

山在穷游Where can we go for the upcoming National Day? In fact, there are many places for camping around Zhengzhou. For example, the camping site located in the Missing Golf Course and Remembering Jiangnan has now become the back garden for Zhengzhou people to vacation. From its name, you can imagine that there is a certain Jiangnan scenery here, with small bridges and flowing water, but there are no houses. A small river Wanyuan passes through it, but don't underestimate this small river. In this small river, there are familiar wild ducks, and water kayaking projects that children and adults can play. You can set up your own tent by the river, or you can rent a tent in the scenic area on the green lawn next to the river. Of course, you don't have to worry about the children having nothing to play when camping here. In addition to kayaking, you can also play grass sliding and feeding animals and other projects that children like. So every holiday, there will be a lot of people here, because it is free and beautiful. Of course, it is only free to set up tents, and if you want to play some projects, you still need to pay.

M75***22I just don't understand why the music is so loud that it almost breaks my eardrums. As soon as the child goes in, he starts clamoring to get out. I coaxed him to watch a few shows, but he covered his ears the whole time.

8. Zhengzhou Museum

M52***87The Zhengzhou Museum's current special exhibition of celadon porcelain vases and the Gongyi Grottoes photography exhibition are both worth a visit! There's also a lot of pink muhly grass growing on the hill in front of the museum! It's a dreamy pink! Perfect for photo ops! The museum has VR, and you can even customize your refrigerator magnets with AI! (Metal magnets, 30 yuan, come with a photo—super worth it!) There are both real-life and cartoon versions, and you can choose to use artifacts as backgrounds. But when I went, I don't know if it was a camera issue, but every photo I took turned out to be a cartoon effect... The museum's treasure, the celadon porcelain vases, are enormous! It's incredible they're from the early Shang Dynasty... It has intricate patterns on it, and it looks like it was molded. There's also information on pottery and porcelain, including models of clay and kaolin, a pottery kiln, and a bellows that works! There are also two realistic models (but one is lighter and the other heavier, for some reason... maybe the heavier one is realistic in weight, and the lighter one is so children can't lift it?). The exhibition hall offers guided tours, which I think are held at 3 p.m. on weekends. You should be able to learn a lot if you attend! The Gongyi Grottoes photography exhibition is truly stunning! The photographer's shots are truly beautiful! The details are crystal clear, and the lighting and shadows are beautiful! If you didn't see it clearly in person, you'll see it even more clearly and breathtakingly here! Come and see it before it's over! (Of course, if you have the chance, you should definitely visit the Grottoes Temple in person; after all, they're from the Northern Wei Dynasty! And access to the grottoes is becoming increasingly rare these days...) Du Fu's hometown is also fantastic!

9. Aopalala Water Park

他朗王之涣It's OK. I played with friends. It was pretty good. The atmosphere and projects were good, but it's not very friendly to fat people. And the staff's...,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the service attitude is also super good

彤彤公主的大保镖It's really good, one of the better ones in the province. It's like a zoo and amusement park complex. There weren't many people on the weekdays, so there was no need to queue. However, there aren't many animals at the moment, and the rides seem a bit noisy. I wonder if they'll disturb the animals?
