Temple and Cemetery of Confucius and the Kong Family Mansion in Qufu
Located in Qufu, Shandong province, the hometown of the great educator and philosopher Confucius is a complex of monuments. These have been rebuilt many times in history, but have retained their outstanding artistic and historical character due to the devotion of successive ancient Chinese rulers over more than 2,000 years. It is widely revered as a place that carries the continuous lineage of Chinese civilization.
During Xi's visit to the site in 2013, he noted that the strength of a nation is always supported by cultural prosperity, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation needs a booming development of culture.
