The Confucius Museum is located at the southern end of the central axis of Qufu City, 4 kilometers north of the Confucius Temple, and echoes the "Three Confucius Temples" world cultural heritage. The Confucius Museum has a total exhibition area of ​​17,000 square meters. The upper exhibition hall is the basic display of Confucius, which consists of an introductory hall and five parts. The introductory hall gives a comprehensive introduction to Confucius through multimedia projection. The five parts are Confucius' era, Confucius' life, Confucius' wisdom, Confucius and Chinese civilization, and Confucius and world civilization. The lower exhibition hall is the basic display of poetry and rituals handed down from generation to generation, which is divided into three units: the influence of generations, the archives of Confucius Mansion and the legacy of Quli. There is also a special exhibition hall for temporary exhibitions. The museum provides a detailed introduction to Confucius' life and his thoughts. At the entrance is a giant sculpture of Confucius, 7.2 meters high, symbolizing that Confucius had 72 disciples. The Wisdom of Confucius From studying and spreading the truth to teaching and educating people, from the philosophy of life to governing the country, from reflecting on history to understanding all things, Confucius' wisdom is profound and his thoughts are broad and profound. He took benevolence as the core, propriety as the norm, and moderation as the method to guide people to build a beautiful and harmonious world. The Confucian thought system founded by Confucius is the crystallization of Chinese history and culture and the main axis of Chinese traditional culture. One of Confucius’ more important ideas is the doctrine of the mean. "Zhong" means impartiality and moderation, "yong" and "yong" are similar. The doctrine of the mean means using the mean, which means doing things in the appropriate way. Confucius's doctrine of the mean elevated the concept of "holding the middle" in early political ethics to a Tao, which is used to guide people's behavior. He advocated "holding both ends and using the middle", that is, grasping the two ends of things and seeking the most appropriate solution among the contradictions. "Harmony but not uniformity" and "moderation in times" are Confucius' further enrichment of the doctrine of the mean. The former emphasizes seeking harmony in differences, while the latter emphasizes flexibility in response to complex situations in order to be appropriate. Confucius placed his hope for building an ideal society on people rather than on gods. What he called benevolence best reflects this idea. Benevolence encompasses sincerity, respect, and kindness between people. It represents people’s good qualities and virtues, and is the discovery and understanding of human nature. Confucius also proposed a way to seek benevolence, which is to strengthen one's own cultivation, fulfill one's responsibilities to one's relatives, and then extend this to one's responsibilities to the country and the world.
