The layout of the Confucius Institute

The main hall on the second and third floors currently holds a commemorative exhibition of Confucius, which vividly introduces Confucius’ life, Confucius’ thoughts, the development of Confucius and the influence of Confucius’ thoughts at home and abroad through pictures, utensils, sculptures, paintings, etc. A careful visit is like browsing a brief history of Confucius' thought.

There are two exhibition halls behind the main hall on the second floor. The "Millennium Cigarette" in the west hall mainly displays cultural relics dedicated to Confucius in past dynasties, while the east hall displays calligraphy and painting works by famous contemporary calligraphers and painters and overseas political figures. The evaluation inscription on Confucius shows the admiration for Confucius at home and abroad in ancient and modern times.

Take the elevator straight to the fourth floor. The circular display cabinet displays the gold version of the "Four Books" - the Chinese "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and the English "The Analects of Confucius" , the copper plate of the book is gilded and beautiful. It is probably the first metal version of the "Four Books" in the world. Climbing up to the third floor outer platform, you can see the ancient beauty of the Confucius Temple to the north, the new look of the new city to the south, the landscape and inscriptions of the Analects of Confucius Monument Garden to the east, and the majestic appearance of the university to the west. While walking around the building, you can read the "Datong Chapter" of "Li Si", which is engraved in eight languages: Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish, German, Japanese and Korean. "The journey of the great road means that the world is for the common good." Confucius' ideal of great harmony must be realized through the joint efforts of people from all over the world.

Take the elevator to the first floor and go south along the corridor. There is a garden, a clear water, and a spring. It shows Zhu Xi's artistic conception of "reading and feeling": "Half an acre of square pond is opened by a mirror." , The sky is full of light and clouds and shadows are lingering. I ask the canal how clear it is, because there is a source of living water." The south of the pool is the reading room, and the setting of this scene is very relevant. Holding a book and studying hard, suddenly gaining something, this little scene is so satisfying. The library is currently under construction, and 400,000 books are being added to the collection. Although the facilities are not yet complete, the Confucius Institute is building and conducting research at the same time. It lacks talents and has hired famous scholars to serve as academic consultants and well-known scholars as part-time researchers. The 20-volume, 10-million-word "Confucian Studies Series in the Twentieth Century" is currently being compiled, 11 of which will be officially released on Confucius' birthday in September this year. The 8-million-word, 30-volume Confucian Ethics Series is also being compiled.

The World Confucius Temple Exhibition is held on the first floor, which displays photos of Confucius temples in China, Japan, North Korea, Vietnam, the United States, Germany, Singapore and other countries, and introduces the historical status and system of Confucius temples in various countries. In addition, there is also an exhibition of copper-plate "Pictures of Holy Relics". The 120 pictures of holy relics are illustrated with pictures and texts, vividly showing the life deeds of Confucius. Finally, we went to visit the Bell Pavilion. The east and west pavilions are opposite each other. There is a bell hanging in each pavilion. The inside and outside of the bell are full of characters, which are divided into the upper and lower parts of "The Analects of Confucius". The ancients said: "Half of the Analects can govern the world." You might as well read it for one hour to increase your ability to govern the country and cultivate your moral character. Another bell might as well be read by hitting it. The sound of the bell is grand, the echo is long, and it is deafening and deafening, so that one can feel it without realizing it.
