The most sage teacher Confucius is the founder of Confucian culture . The "benevolence" and "ritual" cultures founded have long-term impact on future generations, but Confucius has a different appearance in everyone's heart. The Shandong Cross-Strait Economic and Cultural Development Promotion Association and the Shandong Provincial Cultural Relics Protection and Collection Association jointly hosted the "Great Confucius - Holy Images ˙Sacred Traces Exhibition" and was exhibited on the first floor of the underground floor of the Book Information Museum of our school, leading everyone to gain a glimpse of Confucius' diverse image.

Confucius' hometown is Shandong Province, so the precious exhibits in the exhibition are provided by the Shandong Museum and the Kongfu Cultural Relics Archives . A total of 53 fine works of Confucius' portraits are exhibited, and 44 are first-class products, all of which are made in high-simulations that restore the original style to the greatest extent. The exhibition works are from Confucius of different styles such as the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. Among them, according to legend, "Pictures of Confucius's Path of the Path" painted by Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty, standing solemnly and with a humble expression, is the painting that has the most cited and imitated in history; "The Picture of Confucius' View of the Instrument" written by anonymous in the Ming Dynasty, based on "Xunzi's Eat" and describes Confucius' educational disciples with the meaning of the instrument to explain the idea of the doctrine of the mean. Confucius in the painting dressed in a common clothes and bowed his hands to show his tribute, and his figure was taller than others.

Confucius has diverse appearances and many different opinions, but the most widely circulated unofficial history and folk legends is the theory of "Seven Ruins". "Seven Ruins" refers to "the nose is exposed", "white eyes are exposed", "the lips are exposed", "the head is exposed", "heavy shoulders", "the hands are over the knee" and "uneven body figure", highlighting Confucius' image characteristics that are different from ordinary people. Xu, a student from the Department of Visual Education, said that the "Secret of Confucius' Swallow House" written by an anonymous person in the Ming Dynasty, was majestic and steady in appearance. Although he showed the characteristics of "seven ugly" but did not lose his solemnity as a teacher of all ages. He was the best image of Confucius in his mind.

Confucianism can be said to represent the deepest spiritual character and cultural core of the Chinese nation. Through praise and praise from politicians, Confucius was constantly given the title and was also embodied and deified. Therefore, in the process of image drawing, everything from civilians to wearing twelve crowns and twelve , different eras and different political environments allow the creators to draw the way of Confucius in their minds. In July 2011, our school received a statue of Confucius given to Jiang Daming, then the governor of Shandong Province. It is still a prominent landmark of our school. The school also encourages students to visit the exhibition and understand the historical context from the portraits of Confucius of different appearances.
