    In the current city of Qufu in Shandong, there is the largest existing aristocratic manor in China, the Confucian Mansion. This is the residence of the direct descendants of Confucius, and it has been so for thousands of years. Adjacent to the palace is the Confucius Temple, which is the main place of worship.

    About two kilometers away from Confucius's palace is the mausoleum of Confucius and his children, Confucius Forest. Konglin covers an area of nearly 2 million square meters and is planted with nearly 100 species of trees. It is a picturesque place and a famous local holy place in Qufu.

    However, it is surprising that in this tree-lined hole, in this bird-friendly environment, visitors not only do not see crows, but also snakes and mice.

    The Confucian Temple, the Confucian Palace, and the Confucian Forest have always been the gathering places of Confucius' spiritual culture. It is also synonymous with traditional cultural treasures in China and the world. Since the birth of these three places, there has been an endless stream of tourists, and the incense in the forest of the Confucius Temple has never been interrupted for thousands of years.

    In the resting place of the saint, the raven, which symbolizes bad luck, never stops, and snakes and rats, which are considered calamities, are also difficult to find. This has also led people to call the phenomenon of crows not staying in Konglin and snakes and rats not invading "miracles". So, what is the reason for this "miracle"?

    Is the holy light of Confucius still shining on this land? Both crows and snakes fear saints, right? Or is it just a myth that there are unknown factors that control the crows and snakes in the depths of the cemetery?

    The reasons and mysteries of this cannot be explained in a few words. In general, a small group of modern people always have a delusion. Most people think that the ancients were not very smart thousands of years ago, when productivity was low and things were scarce.

    This has led many to believe that Kong Lin's views are an exaggeration to those who do not understand it. Until people see crows hiding in their holes, and see that there are no snakes and rats in the holes, these are just nonsense.

    <>But is that really the case? The fact that ancient people were able to survive and reproduce in a harsh environment thousands of years ago is enough to show that they also possessed higher intelligence than other species. Confucius is more than 2,000 years old, but we still study his thoughts in textbooks, trying to figure out his intentions.

    Confucius has existed for thousands of years, and future generations still respect Confucius. Passing through the Confucian Palace of Yanmen, we are confronted with Confucius, and everything about him is worth pondering, reviewing and exploring.

    This is mainly due to the abundance of arborvitae and oak trees around this cemetery, which give off a special fragrance to repel birds, finches and snakes and rats.

    This is because when he chose a cemetery, he chose a place with a better environment, and there are fewer animals in this place, so he was able to do such a thing.

    Because the place chosen by Confucius is a treasure of feng shui, and the environment is also very good, it is able to achieve such a state.

    I think it's probably because of the potions that are placed around to repel beasts, so they won't be infested by birds and beasts.

    Some experts believe that the "smell" is the reason why there are no crows in Konglin.

    Because the tomb of Confucius has a lot of precious trees, and the terrain is very superior.

    At that time, some special prevention and control measures were taken, and I guess they got something like a smell that they couldn't stand it.

    Because the mausoleum of Confucius was built with a large amount of cinnabar, there are no snakes. Dare to get closer.

    It may be that there are substances such as cinnabar and realgar around the mausoleum and in the tomb, so that snakes and crows dare not approach the mausoleum.

    When the descendants of Confucius built the cemetery, they used a lot of cinnabar, which had a natural repellent effect on poisonous snakes.

    It should be that the Confucius Mausoleum has some insect repellent ingredients in it.

    It may be because the feng shui of the Confucius Mausoleum is particularly good, which is very strange in the eyes of ordinary people.
