Confucianism Culture Park in Quzhou named national-level demonstration park
The Confucianism Culture Park in Quzhou, Zhejiang province, has been named one of the 15 national-level cultural industry demonstration parks by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, in acknowledgment of Quzhou's efforts to promote the Southern Confucianism culture.
Over the years, the park has been actively developing its cultural industry, with a focus on cultural tourism, study tours, digital culture, and arts and crafts. The park has become an exemplar of promoting traditional culture through industrial development.
To promote the Southern Confucianism culture, the park has created open spaces like demonstration centers and bookstores, held seminars to explore modern development of the culture, and hosted events such as Confucius memorial services and Analects competitions to incorporate the culture into urban development. Quzhou is the home of Confucius' descendants and considered an origin of Confucianism.
To promote the Southern Confucianism culture to a wider global audience, Quzhou has produced a 10-episode video series to showcase its efforts to promote international cultural exchange and explain the Confucianism culture in modern society.
