Culture on Show for Confucius in Shanghai

 

The city's first public library "Cangshulou" - which means building for book collection - has been painted. Four new horizontal inscribed boards and an antithetical couplet - two phrases or sentences written as calligraphy on vertical red banners typically placed on either side of a door or in a large hall - has been added.

"A majority of horizontal inscribed boards and antithetical couplets are derived from the Confucian Temple in Qufu City, Shandong Province, which was the hometown of Confucius," said Wang.
