露两颗门牙的孔子雕像

孔子在各大校园比较常见，不知大家发现没有，不论是孔子的画像还是孔子雕像，几乎都将他塑造成了“大龅牙”的形象。笑而不露被认为是端庄得体，那么孔子作为圣人，为何会露着两颗大门牙呢?

Confucius is quite common on major campuses. I don't know if you have found it. Almost all the portraits and statues of Confucius have shaped him into the image of "big buckteeth". Smiling without revealing is considered dignified and decent. Then why did Confucius, as a saint, show his two front teeth?

实际上，这并非贻笑大方，而恰恰是孔子作为“圣人”所必要的东西。这种牙齿叫做“骈齿”，其实就是排列较为整齐的龅牙。

In fact, this is not a joke, but precisely what Confucius needs as a "Saint". This kind of teeth is called "parallel teeth", which is actually buckteeth arranged neatly.

自古以来，骈齿就被认为是圣人之像，往往只有帝王才能具备的特征，而孔子之骈则表示，其仪容就体现出了他的圣人本质。

Since ancient times, parallel teeth have been regarded as the image of saints, which can only be possessed by emperors. Confucius' parallel teeth show that their appearance reflects the essence of his saints.

中国文化源远流长，博大精深，随处皆是学问，一座孔子雕塑就蕴藏万千。不得不说，第一个塑造孔子像的人是高手，因为只有懂得孔子的这个姿势，才能真正认识孔子，懂得他为世界所奉献的一切。

Chinese culture has a long history, broad and profound, and knowledge is everywhere. A statue of Confucius contains thousands of things. It has to be said that the first person who created the image of Confucius was an expert, because only by understanding Confucius' gesture, can we truly understand Confucius and all he has contributed to the world.
