A culture city to revive Confucianism

BEIJING: China plans to spend billions of dollars to build a culture symbolic project in the eastern province of Shandong, home to ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius, to revive traditional values, including Confucianism.

Jiang Daming, governor of Shandong, announced at a news conference on Saturday in Beijing that the “Chinese Cultural Symbolic City” will be built in the Ji’ning City, spanning over 300 sq.km.

The city will incorporate the county-level city of Qufu, ancestral home of Confucius, and Zoucheng, home of Mencius, and the Jiulong Mountain range between the two cities.

Construction is expected to start before 2010. — Xinhua
