The Lincoln Memorial is a pure white ancient Greek temple-style building built in memory of Abraham Lincoln and is regarded as an eternal statue of the United States and a symbol of Washington. It is also a well-known place for the pursuit of peace, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. 1. The Memorial Hall of Architectural Art is an ancient Greek temple-style memorial hall made of white granite and marble. There are 36 tall stone pillars around the outer corridor of the memorial hall, symbolizing the 36 states of the United States when Lincoln was alive. There are 48 flower decorations on the top parapet, representing the 48 states of the United States when the memorial hall was completed, and the names of the 48 states are also engraved on the lintel of the column. The memorial hall does not have a door, which means that it is always open to the world. 2. The seated statue of Lincoln climbs the high stone steps and enters the memorial hall, facing the seated statue of Lincoln carved with pure white marble in the center. His eyes are deep, his expression is stern, resolute and firm, and there is an inscription behind the seated statue of Lincoln, which means "In this temple, in the hearts of the people, always remember the memory of Lincoln, who saved the Union for the people." In Lincoln There is a stone carving of the Gettysburg Address on the left side of the seated statue, while on the right wall of the seated statue is inscribed another inaugural address by Lincoln. 3. The three-point and one-line sitting statues face the square with their backs to their backs. You can see that the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the United States Capitol form the central axis of the National Mall. The meaning here is infinite and shocking. In front of the Memorial Hall, there is a 610-meter-long rectangular reflection pool, and you can vaguely see the beautiful reflection of the Washington Monument in the pool water.
