【新唐人2011年4月26日訊】今年1月剛剛樹立在天安門廣場東側的孔子塑像，前幾天突然消失，在海內外多家中文媒體的詢問下，原來孔子像被移到國家博物館雕塑園內。大陸當局為甚麼要立孔子像，又為甚麼要搬走孔子像？請看詳細報導。
位於天安門廣場東側、國家博物館北門前的孔子塑像今年1月剛剛落成，但是這座9.5米高的塑像在4月21號突然被搬走，原來的位置被藍色擋板遮了起來。
據國家博物館負責人介紹，孔子塑像被遷移到國家博物館雕塑園內。雕塑園在國家博物館內西側北庭院，遊人們很少到達。從國家博物館北門口，搬入雕塑園，孔子塑像恰好在天安門廣場豎立了一百天。
從孔子像一落成，就曾引發很大爭議。香港《東方日報》報導，因毛主席紀念堂就在天安門廣場，天安門城樓還有毛澤東巨幅畫像，而毛澤東一生反對孔孟之道，到晚年還發動一場「批林批孔」運動。因此有網友笑言：「兩個死對頭同處一個廣場，天下奇觀。」
報導說，當時也有學者質疑，官方想藉著孔子重建社會道德，作為傳統文化的標識，但立像做法徒具表面。
著名記者、作家鐵流分析認為，雖然在歷史上，中共在每個重要時期都是以打倒孔子，來實現他們的政治和文化的目地，但今年1月搬出孔子來，說明，現在的中共當局想借孔子的理論，來幫助他們實現“和諧社會”。
鐵流（中國作家）：“從五四運動到打倒孔家店，一直到毛澤東的文化大革命，都打倒孔子，造反時講打倒孔子，革命講打倒孔子。中國變成了不講仁義、不講道德、不講忠孝。共產主義行不通了，咱們把孔子搬出來吧，咱們要講仁義、講道德、講誠實。”
在孔子像落成後，因為地處要道，經常有民眾拍照，更有老師和學生集體對孔子像獻花、鞠躬等。無論男女老幼、社會階層，很多中國人表示孔子像令他們感到五千年的中華傳統文化在內心裡復甦。
鐵流：“結果一抬出來以後又遭到’遵毛派’的反對，天安門一邊是毛澤東一邊是孔子，這兩個根本是冰炭，一個是冰一個是炭，一個是火一個是水，根本不行的，打架的，最後打的是毛派勝利了，把孔子請回去了。”
中國問題專家胡星斗也向《東方日報》表示，事件反映了中國當局目前價值觀混亂。目前，在大陸正在推廣重慶唱紅歌的經驗，鐵流認為，這是社會發展的倒退。他說，中國只有走民主、法制的道路，才是解決社會問題的根本方法。

Confucius Statue Removed from Tian Anmen
A Confucius statue erected on Tian Anmen Square
in January disappeared a few days ago.
Various media made inquiries, and discovered
the status was moved in the National Museum.
Why did the Chinese authority erect the statue?
Why was it removed?
The Confucius statue was finished in January,
placed on the east side of Tian Anmen Square,
to the north of the National Museum.
On April 21, the 9.5-meter high statue
was removed, its site blocked by blue boards.
Staff from National Museum confirmed that
the statue was moved to the sculpture room
in the northwest part of the museum.
Few people visit this part of the museum.
From outside the museum to the inside,
the statue stayed on the Square for 100 days.
The statue drew attention from the beginning.
Hong Kong based Oriental Daily said
Mao’s memorial and photo have been
on Tian Anmen Square.
Mao was against Confucius,
and mobilized a criticism against him.
Netizen call it “two enemies on the same square.”
According to Oriental Daily, some scholars
Suspect the authority wants to use Confucius
to re-establish society’s morality.
But setting a statue is only superficial.
According to Tie Liu, a well-known writer,
the communist party criticized Confucius before
to achieve its political and cultural goals.
Now the party digs up Confucius, wanting
to use him to achieve its “harmonious society.”
Tie Liu: “From May 4th to criticism
against Confucius and Cultural Revolution –
all movements knocked down Confucius
in the name of rebellion or revolution.
The Chinese [regime] doesn’t care for
benevolence, morality, loyalty or filial piety.
Communism did not work, now they dig out
Confucius, [using him to] preach morality.
After the Confucius statue was erected,
many people took photos of it, and
teachers and students presented flowers to it.
People old or young from different walks of life
said Confucius statue arouses their desire
to revive the Chinese cultural tradition.
Tie Liu: “But opposition came from Mao followers.
Mao on one side, Confucius on the other side
of the Square, like ice and fire, water and fire.
It does not work, and Mao won.
Confucius was moved inside.”
China expert Hu Xingdou said to Oriental Daily,
this shows Chinese authority’s chaotic values.
Chongqing city is promoting revolutionary songs,
which is going backward, said Tie Liu.
Tie said only democracy and law can help
resolve social problems in China.
