Kong Lin, known as San Lin, located 1.5 kilometers north of Qufu, Shandong, is the family cemetery of Confucius and his descendants. It is the longest extended family cemetery in the world. After Confucius& x27;s death, his disciples buried him on the northern part of Lucheng, Surabaya. In the period of the Qin and Han Dynasties, although the grave was built, there were still only a small number of cemetery and a few foresters. Later, with the increasing status of Confucius, the scale of the Confucian forest was becoming larger and larger.
