The tallest statue of Confucius in China was completed in Nantong Xiao Zhong Cultural Park.
The tallest statue of Confucius in China was completed in Xiao Zhong Cultural Park, Dongshe Town, Nantong. The main part of the statue consists of more than 480 stones, with a total weight of about 1000 tons. The statue is about 27 meters high and 5 meters in base, totaling 32 meters. It is the tallest stone statue of Confucius in China at present.
Confucius is a great spiritual teacher of the Chinese nation, and his loyalty, filial piety and benevolence are the essence of Confucianism and even the whole traditional culture of China. Lu Fengbin, former political commissar and major general of Fujian Military Region, vice chairman of Chinese Culture Promotion Association and president of Nantong Chinese Culture Promotion Association, said that Tongzhou has always advocated morality and attached great importance to the education and inheritance of traditional culture. Especially in recent years, through the Xiao Zhong Cultural Park, the Confucian culture of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness has been vigorously promoted, and the atmosphere of learning traditional culture in the whole society has become increasingly strong. The completion of the statue of Confucius will complement the landscape of Xiao Zhong Square, Zhonghua Column and 24 Xiaozhong Stone Carving Garden in the park, which not only enriches and enhances the connotation and level of Xiao Zhong Cultural Park, but also opens a new chapter for Nantong to inherit the traditional culture of China.
Yifeng Li, the donor of Confucius statue, has been involved in the design and construction of Xiao Zhong Cultural Park since 2006. He said that the age of this statue of Confucius is between 60 and 70 years old, and its facial expression is "both rigid and flexible, powerful and not fierce, and respectful and humble", which embodies the image of a solemn, kind, harmonious, modest and wise generation as a teacher. He hopes that with the completion of the statue of Confucius, he can leave a valuable spiritual wealth for future generations.
