Front eaves10The root is a deep relief, with two dragons flying on each pillar, coiled and rising, orbs engraved in the middle, and cloud flames surrounding each other.10The dragon pillars face each other, each with its own variation. Nothing is the same, the shape is beautiful and vivid, the carving is exquisite and clear, the knife is strong and powerful, and the dragon posture is lifelike. This is Qufu's unique stone carving art treasure. It is said that when the Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty came to Qufu to worship Confucius, the stone pillars were wrapped in red cymbals, and they were afraid to be seen by the emperor. I am afraid the emperor would blame him for exceeding the palace. The architectural art of Dacheng Hall shows the talent and wisdom of the working people in our country.
