Jining, China, Dec. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/

A report from GLOBAL TIMES ONLINE:

Shangdong province's Jining has progressed further along the path of

integrating culture and tourism after being included in the second batch of

international wetland cities.

Jining has carried out significant projects to safeguard cultural artifacts. By

creating the Confucius Research Institute, Confucius Museum, and Nishan

Sacredland on the foundation of the already-existing Kong Family Mansion, the

Temple of Confucius, and the Cemetery of Confucius, Qufu, a county in Jinan,

has supported Confucian culture. Nearly 3 million people have visited Nishan

Sacredland from home and abroad since it opened in September 2018.

Furthermore, Jining has plowed into the seal making industry. While ensuring

the inheritance of the seal making technique by gathering experienced masters

in the industry to share their knowledge, Jining set up Kong Fu Seal Pavilion

to sell seal-related products and promote Confucian culture.

According to Liu Peng, the general-manager of the Kong Fu Seal Pavilion, the

pavilion continues to receive orders for seals and around 25 thousand are made

every day thanks to livestreaming.

Jining's glazed tile industry is also benefitting from heavy demand. Dazhuang

glazed tiles debuted in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and were used to expand

the Temple of Confucius. Currently, the tiles can be found in various ancient

buildings and are sold to countries including France and Germany.
