那是因为衢州正在建设“南孔圣地·衢州有礼”城市品牌。

什么是“南孔圣地·衢州有礼”？

南宋时期，孔子后裔为躲避战乱最终落户衢州，形成孔氏南宗。自此敦敦儒风便成为衢州的文化基因，儒风“有礼”文化早已烙印在人们生活的点滴之中。

The culture of intangible “virtue” are revealed in many tangible aspects in people’s life in Quzhou.

最“有礼”的纪念仪式——祭孔大典

儒家文化对中国文化的影响源远流长，早在2004年，衢州市就开始举办“中国·衢州国际孔子文化节暨祭孔大典”了。2011年5月，祭孔大典被列入中国第三批国家级非物质文化遗产名录，成为“国之瑰宝”。

南孔祭典具有“当代人祭孔”和“百姓祭孔”两大特点。当代祭孔仪式除了有向孔子像敬献五谷、文房四宝和花篮，燃烛晋香，鞠躬，主祭人诵《祭孔子文》等传统仪程，还贯穿着“当代人祭孔”的理念，如参礼人员着现代服装、行现代礼节；以钢琴伴奏《大同颂》，取代吹奏古乐器；将传统祭孔要进行的华丽盛大的佾舞，改为各界代表朗诵《论语》章句等等。来自全世界各地的人们在南孔家庙前，听着朗朗的诵读声，像与圣人对话，感受儒家文化的博大精深与魅力。衢州祭孔大典致力于复兴传统儒学，并推动当代儒学的创新性发展，筑牢“有礼”文化的根和魂。

The Most Virtuous Ceremony: Confucius Memorial Ceremony

Confucianism has a far-reaching influence on Chinese culture. As early as 2004, Quzhou began to hold the “International Confucius Culture Festival & Confucius Memorial Ceremony in Quzhou, China”. In May 2011, the Southern Confucius Memorial Ceremony was listed in the third batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage List and thus became a national treasure.

The Southern Confucius Memorial Ceremony has two characteristics: “contemporary memorial ceremony” and “common people’s memorial ceremony”. Today’s ceremony not only includes offering the five cereals rice, the four treasures of the study (i.e. writing brush, ink stick, ink slab, paper) and flower baskets, incense, burning candles, bowing to the statue of Confucius, and the officiant reciting the “Sacrifice to Confucius”, but also embodies the concept of “contemporary people worshipping Confucius”. The participants wear modern clothing and perform modern etiquette; play piano instead of the ancient instruments to sing “Ode to Great Unity”; change the magnificent and grand traditional dance of worshipping Confucius into representatives from all walks of life reciting chapters from the Analects. People listen to the melodious recitation in front of the Southern Confucius Temple, and in the solemnity, they silently comprehend the profoundness of Confucian culture. This ceremony is committed to reviving traditional Confucianism and promoting the innovative development of contemporary Confucianism.

最“有礼”的成长仪式——南孔学子“三礼”

为了让“礼”文化走入校园，让青少年学习礼、感悟礼，衢州创建了南孔学子“三礼”：开蒙礼（6岁）、明志礼（14岁）、成人礼（18岁）。

开蒙礼是人生第一“礼”，意味着儿童就此进入打破蒙昧、开启智慧的阶段。开蒙礼包括正衣冠、行尊师礼、点朱砂开智、齐笔描红、击鼓明志等环节。明志礼包括通过敬问老师“启志”、一笔一画“书志”、再系带击掌“明志”、诵读法条“宣志”，最后与家长共走明志门。成人礼则在高中阶段举行，在仪式中，学生感恩父母、懂得责任、放飞梦想。在父母和老师的陪伴下，青年学生走过成人门，肩负起新的权利与义务，成为最“有礼”的南孔学子。

“不学礼，无以立”。南孔学子“三礼”把文明“有礼”全面融入育人全过程，从小就在南孔学子的心灵深处种下“有礼”的种子，让他们养成“有礼”好习惯。

The Most Virtuous Ceremony in Growth Period: Three Ceremonies

In order to bring the culture of “virtue” into the campus and enable young people to learn and appreciate etiquette, Quzhou has established the “Three Ceremonies” for students: the Enlightenment Ceremony (at the age of 6), the Mingzhi Ceremony (at the age of 14), and the Grown-up Ceremony (at the age of 18).

The Enlightenment Ceremony is the first big ceremony in life, marking the breaking of ignorance and the opening of wisdom. The Enlightenment Ceremony includes procedures like tidying up the dress and hat, honoring teachers, pointing cinnabar to open up wisdom, drawing red with a pen, and drumming to express one’s aspirations.

The Mingzhi Ceremony includes initiating aspirations, writing the aspirations, expressing the aspirations by tying the belt, announcing the aspirations by reciting, and finally students walk through the Mingzhi Gate with the parents. The Grown-up Ceremony is held in high school, during which students express gratitude to their parents, understand responsibility, and set their dreams free. Accompanied by parents and teachers, young students walk through the Grown-up Gate and shoulder new rights and obligations.

Without learning etiquette, one cannot stand firm. The “Three Ceremonies” for students fully integrate the culture of virtue into the entire process of education, cultivate students’ norms from an early age, and plant the seeds of learning traditional Chinese culture in the hearts of every child.

最“有礼”的行礼方式——作揖礼

在衢州的不同场合，都能看到人们使用作揖礼进行互相问候。正式的作揖礼大致如下：双掌相合，男子左手覆右手，女子则是右手覆左手，大拇指平抵，两手臂抱圆，身微倾而不僵，双腿挺立，双脚中间留约一个拳头的距离。这不仅有利于人们保持健康的社交距离，也有助于传统“有礼”文化回归于民，回归日常生活，形成活态文化，让传统文化在当代社会中焕发出生命活力。

The Most Virtuous Greeting: Zuo Yi

In different occasions in Quzhou, people can be seen using Zuo Yi to greet each other. In performing Zuo Yi, people bow to others, which presents Chinese people being humble and respectful. In Quzhou, Zhejiang, Zuo Yi has gradually been promoted. The Zuo Yi in formal occasions is roughly as follows: people’s palms join together (men cover their right hand with their left hand, and women cover their left hand with their right hand). People press thumbs down. The two arms are like embracing a drum. People keep their bodies upright and stand with their legs straight, leaving about a fist’s distance between their feet—The facial expression should be solemn. It not only helps people maintain a healthy social distance, but also helps the traditional culture to return to people’s daily life and form a living culture to radiate its vitality in the modern society.

最“有礼”的艺术表达——音乐剧《南孔》

在衢州，有一部特别的音乐剧——《南孔》，它将音乐和舞蹈融入故事之中，以更年轻活力的方式让更多人了解南孔，认识衢州。

音乐剧《南孔》的主角是孔子第五十三世孙孔洙，讲述了孔洙为了坚守自己心中的“礼”，艰难地进行人生抉择的故事。“礼”是该剧的精神内核，孔氏族人在衢州兴建家庙，在艰难的生活中依然坚持衍圣弘道，传承儒学文化，这实际上是一次守“礼”传“礼”的过程。

这是一次文化与艺术的有机融合，让人们在现代能以更直观的方式重温这段历史文化，感受“润泽江南”的儒风文化和“礼”的底蕴！

The Most Virtuous Art: the Musical “Southern Confucius”

In Quzhou, there is a special musical called “Southern Confucius”, which uses stories, music and dance to introduce more people to Southern Confucius and Quzhou in an energetic way.

The musical “Southern Confucius” takes Kong Zhu as the protagonist and tells the story of Kong Zhu's life in achieving “virtue” in his heart. “Virtue” underpins the musical. The Southern Confucian family established their home in Quzhou, and have persisted in spreading Confucianism even in their toughest time. This is actually a process of guarding and inheriting “virtue”.

This is a graceful incorporation of culture and art, allowing people to relive the long history and culture of Quzhou, feel the profound “virtue” and experience the magnificent Confucius culture in the south of the Yangtze River.

最“有礼”的城市景观——南孔彩绘

在衢州的街头，一幅幅独具特色的画卷舒展开来，秉承“让南孔文化看得见”的原则，将其以贴近生活的方式向路人娓娓道来。在城市、在校园、在郊区，到处可见白色的墙上写着论语中的经典词句，有些还涂画着和南孔历史相关的小故事，人们可以在任何时候驻足学习一些论语小知识，了解一些儒学小故事。这些布满大街小巷墙体的南孔彩绘，是展现南孔文化的窗口，无声地传播着南孔文化，引导衢州人把“有礼”文化转化为自觉行动。

In different places in this city, classic words and phrases from the Analects as well as stories related to Southern Confucius are written or painted on white walls. People can stop at any time to learn some knowledge of the Analects or Confucian stories. These paintings are the windows to show the Nankong culture, guiding the people to transform the “virtue” culture into action.

最“有礼”的城市书屋——南孔书屋

在衢州市的街头巷尾，有一些独特的书屋，叫做“南孔爷爷的书房”，也称作“南孔书屋”。不同的书屋具有不同的主题，如书画主题、棋子主题、摄影主题等等，各具特色的同时又都有机地融入了儒家文化。如今，南孔书屋已经遍布衢州的大街小巷，街道覆盖率已高达95%，成为衢州市民家门口的智慧图书馆。正是这些南孔书屋让衢州人在书香中“读”出“有礼”新生活。

The Most Virtuous Urban Library: Nankong Book House

On the streets of Quzhou City, there are some unique book houses called “Nankong Book House”. These book houses have functions such as reading books, leisure, holding lectures, and borrowing and returning books.

最“有礼”的城市吉祥物——南孔爷爷

“南孔爷爷”是衢州市的城市卡通形象和吉祥物。“南孔爷爷”就像一个穿越时空的Q版孔子，他可爱慈祥，给人感觉就像一个活在我们身边的老师和好朋友。他以卷轴为发髻，代表他热爱读书，学识渊博。他的眉毛粗浓到已经遮住眼睛，代表着他善于反思；长长的心形状胡子代表他以爱教学，热爱每一位学生。他正在向世界行“作揖礼”，向世界展示衢州“有礼”文化。

The Most Virtuous Mascots: “Grandpa Nankong”

“Grandpa Nankong” is the mascot of Quzhou City. The image of Grandpa Nankong seems like the image of Confucius in an amiable way. The mascot looks quite lovely and kind, like a teacher or friend living in our life. His hair bun is a scroll of calligraphy and painting, representing his erudition. His thick eyebrows covering the eyes represent the reflective and thoughtful spirit; the heart-shaped beard represents that his education is fulfilled with love. He is greeting the world with Zuo Yi and show the world the “virtue” culture in Quzhou.
