Tracing the origins of Confucian inspiration
Visitors examine ritual bronze ware artifacts at When the Great Way Prevails: Special Exhibition of Confucian Culture held at the Palace Museum in Beijing. In the Meridian Gate Galleries, above the southern entry of the former Chinese imperial palace also known as the Forbidden City, When the Great Way Prevails: Special Exhibition of Confucian Culture launches a time travel spectacle resonating with ancient ritual and wisdom. "The agricultural civilization of China shaped the nation's cultural genes: order, stability, humility and peace as the core values," says Da Weijia, deputy director of department of objects and decorative arts of the Palace Museum, who is in charge of organizing the exhibition. "From these, Confucianism developed, and continually influenced people's values, ways of thinking and behavioral norms, producing a distinctive Confucian culture," she says.
