When catching up with the exam season, parents will take their children to visit Confucius at Confucius Temple and pray for their children to be smooth and wise on the road to study; For students, this is also their respect for knowledge and study.
在當今的中國，孔子存在的意義更是深刻。孔子雕像的意義不僅是中國人民對于傳統(tǒng)文化的潛在的歸屬感和認同感，也是中國人民對于傳統(tǒng)文化的尊重和繼承，有利于在日益激烈的文化 競爭中保持著本國樸實敦厚的文化特色。
In today's China, the significance of Confucius' existence is even more profound. The significance of Confucius statue is not only the Chinese people's potential sense of belonging and identity to traditional culture, but also the Chinese people's respect and inheritance of traditional culture, which is conducive to maintaining the country's simple and honest cultural characteristics in the increasingly fierce cultural competition.
