Organized around the threads of Confucius' life, his ideological system and his historical influence, the exhibition presents a panoramic account of his life and the far-reaching impact of Confucianism on Chinese civilization and beyond.
The exhibition showcases the historical backdrop of the Confucius era and traces the ritual and musical system of the Western Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-771 BC). It recounts his travels among various states and explains the core of his philosophy.
Beyond the assembled artifacts and documents, the exhibition features several multimedia programs and interactive experiences that help audiences vividly understand his core teachings and life stories.
Audiences can interact with a large screen to learn about the Six Arts and play themed games. The Six Arts refer to the core skills of the Western Zhou Dynasty's aristocratic education system: rituals, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.
