The Confucian Style: Changzhou in the Ming and Qing Dynasties

The Confucian Style: Changzhou in the Ming and Qing Dynasties is on display at the Changzhou History and Culture Exhibition Hall on the second floor of the Changzhou Museum at 1288 Longcheng Avenue, Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. The ancient Yue people were known for their martial arts and bravery. Changzhou, which was part of the ancient Yue region, underwent a fundamental change in its folk customs due to the establishment of the cultural tradition of Jizha, the cultural influence of Qi and Liang, and the stimulation of the imperial examination system. The prosperous industry and commerce deeply affected the way of life and values of the people of Changzhou, and laid the foundation for the high development of Changzhou culture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Changzhou in the Song Dynasty was known as "the crown of the southeast with its Confucian style". By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the emphasis on culture and education had become a prominent feature of Changzhou's regional culture.
