學校擺放孔子雕像的寓意
在校園中，我們常可見到的校園雕塑有很多，有學者，有精神榜樣，有科學家，還有象征力耕不息、用于開拓創新、自強不息的開荒牛雕塑等動物。其中最常見的是孔子雕像。很多學校的圖書館門前都有一座孔子的雕像，可以說是很久以前就開始被做出來放在大家可以看到的地方用來提醒大家，要學習孔子的思想精神。
On campus, we can often see many campus sculptures, such as scholars, spiritual role models, scientists, and animals such as cattle sculptures that symbolize endless cultivation, innovation and self-improvement. The most common one is Confucius statue. There is a statue of Confucius in front of the library of many schools. It can be said that it was made a long time ago and placed in a place where everyone can see it to remind everyone to learn Confucius' thought and spirit.
孔子是我國人民耳熟能詳的人物，是我國歷史上偉大的教育家、思想家，也是儒家思想的開創者。孔子的偉大在于他對我國傳統文化乃至整個東亞的文化所產生的巨大影響。
Confucius is a familiar figure to our people, a great educator and thinker in our history, and a pioneer of Confucianism. Confucius' greatness lies in his great influence on Chinese traditional culture and even the whole East Asian culture.
對于中國人來說，孔子雕像的意義在于這是一種信仰與尊重。對于大部分的讀書人來說，潛移默化地都會有一種對于孔子油然而生的尊敬感，趕上考試時節， 家長都會帶著孩子到孔廟參拜孔子，祈求孩子能夠在求學的道路上順順利利，智慧通達；而對于學生來說，這也是他們對于知識和學習的尊重。
For Chinese people, the significance of Confucius statue is that it is a kind of faith and respect. For most scholars, there will be a sense of respect for Confucius in a subtle way. 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文化的潛在的歸屬感和認同感，也是中國人民對于傳統文化的尊重和繼承，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.
對于我國新時代的青少年來說，至圣先師孔子像可以激發青少年們學習建設國家發展的積極性，有助于弘揚我國儒家思想文化，讓未來的祖國接班人更好地去了解和接觸文化。至圣先師孔子像的教育作用是巨大的，作為一種文化符號被深深地印刻在人們心中，是一種非常好的發揚文化的方式。
For the young people in the new era of our country, Confucius statue, the most holy teacher, can stimulate the young people's enthusiasm for learning and building the country's development, help to carry forward our Confucian ideology and culture, and let future successors of our motherland better understand and contact with culture. Confucius' image, as a cultural symbol, is deeply imprinted in people's minds and is a very good way to carry forward culture.
