今天，我们来到了周公庙（Zhou Gong Temple），位于今陕西省宝鸡市扶风、岐山一带，是国家4A级旅游景区，是中国同类建筑中存世规模最大，形制最完整的周公庙。周原是周文化的发祥地和灭商之前周人的聚居地，素有“青铜器之乡”的美誉。同时，周公是“礼乐制度”的创造人。当时的岐山是属于周公的封地，称周邑。 周公同时是鲁国的创始人，儿子伯禽是鲁国第一任君主。 唐武德元年（618年），唐高祖李渊为纪念曾助武王灭商立国、辅成王平叛安邦的周公旦，下诏在其制礼作乐的“卷阿”创建周公祠。后经宋、元、明、清历代修葺、扩建，形成了以周三公（周公、召公、太公）殿为主体，姜嫄、后稷殿为辅，亭、台、楼阁点缀辉映的古建筑群。是全国历史最悠久、文化内涵最丰富、占地面积最大的周公庙。 (周文化景区) 上面提到的周公庙是周文化景区的一部分，主要囊括周城（周文化展陈、游乐演义休闲）及周公庙、凤凰山 (文物古迹遗址探秘) 三大区域。 详细介绍可以点这 (http://www.qishan.gov.cn/col8398/col8481/202312/t20231201_213313.html)
