Confucius Six Arts City (also called Confucius’s Six Classical Arts Hall), located at No.15, Chunqiu Road, Nanxin District, Qufu City, is a theme park displaying the thought, teaching and life of Confucius (551-479BC) (an ideologist and educator in ancient China, and the great founder of Confucianism) and the folk culture of ancient Lu State. It is so named, because the six arts (ritual, music, archery, driving, calligraphy and mathematics) were advocated and taught by the sage.
The scenic spot encompasses an area of 13ha with a distinctive and magnificent architectural complex. Inside the gate is a large group of bronze sculptures. Behind it, there is an impressive building – the sphere-shaped Mathematics Hall, where visitors can use all kinds of electronic game machines to solve different mathematics puzzles. The halls of the other five arts surround the Mathematics Hall. Music Hall and Archery Hall are on its left side; Driving Hall and Calligraphy Hall on its right side; the Ritual Hall is at its front. The six arts are shown vividly by employing modern techniques of sound, light and electricity. Following a visit here, tourists will more fully understand the six arts and ancient culture of the Pre-Qin Period.
Garden of Confucius Hometown is located in the northeast corner of the Six Arts City. With characteristic architecture of the Orient, it illustrates the residence and culture of Lu State. With so much historic beauty, it draws a glorious picture of Confucian heritage. There are dozens of folk-custom activities for tourists to enjoy, such as walking on stilts, listening to traditional operas and playing dragon dances.
Every day the Grand Theatre of Confucius Six Arts plays ancient dance and music at 10:00 and 15:00. It is really a feast to the eyes and ears.
