The mausoleum of Confucius is comparable to that of the emperor. Why is there a strange phenomenon of "there is no crow on the top and no snake on the bottom"?

The cemetery that Confucius chose for himself is now called Kong Lin. The reason why it is called "Lin" is that after the death of Confucius, the original small scale gradually became a garden museum with the prosperity of Confucius' descendants. In order to remember Confucius, Confucius' later generations moved all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs from all over the world, including cypress, juniper, regular script and poplar. At present, there are100000 trees in Kong Lin, including many ancient and famous trees, some of which have a history of thousands of years.

In this regard, there is a related story. According to legend, one day, Confucius was giving a lecture to his disciples, but he was surrounded by a group of traitors and killed. At that time, Confucius said with emotion: "Zhong Ni has been serving the people and the country all his life, and his ambition is hard to be rewarded, but he was killed by traitors and villains. Heaven is unfair! "

It is said that later, these crows became Mr. Kong's loyal guards until Mr. Kong died and was buried in the Confucius Temple. They have been living in the Confucius Temple, keeping a wake for Mr. Kong. Even in the nearby Confucius Forest, they don't go in, and they keep going around the Confucius Temple.

The Kongs are a big family, and their ancestors are still very rich. They put a lot of cinnabar, black sand and sulfur in the cemetery for protection. Snakes are very jealous of these things and will avoid this place after smelling them. So there is a saying that crows don't go to the Kong Lin, and there is no snake below.

Kong Lin covers a vast area with many kinds of trees. After Mr. Kong's death, his students will come here in batches to plant trees in memory of their teachers, including many precious trees. According to relevant research, some trees naturally rejected by crows are also found in Kong Lin, so it is not surprising that Kong Lin avoids flying.
