Confucius was the first private teacher in China who believed that education makes the man; that adhering to one’s ethics is more important than position, wealth and even life. It was Confucius’ Golden Rule that first insisted, “Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you.” It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop. / Confucius Painting in mixed media Music – Searching For Confucius 24th October 2008

A good picture is like a poem to the mind… a good poem is like a picture to the soul.

The Confucius Temple in Nanjing was originally constructed in the year of 1034 in the Song Dynasty. It was a place to worship and consecrate Confucius, the great philosopher and educator of ancient China. It is also known as Fuzimiao in Chinese. This temple suffered repeated damage and has been rebuilt on several occasions since that time. 1937 was the most destruction when it was burnt to ruin by Japanese aggressors. In 1984 the temple was rebuilt under the support of the local government. During the long process, the original building expanded to be a complex building in the architectural style of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, including the Confucius Temple itself, the Jiangnan Gongyuan (the place of imperial examinations) and the Xue Gong (the Imperial Academy). The complex is still called the Confucius Temple out of habit by locals and visitors. Each of the diciples helped Confucius according to their skills, that varied from one to the other. They stand on either side of the walk through the temple area leading to the elevated temple building.

Confucius Temple at Ashikaga, the oldest school in Japan (which is now a tourist destination). The school is has a very huge compound divided into various areas, including temples, study halls, visitor rooms etc. Walking into Ashikaga really steps into another period of time. This is a shot of the Confucius Temple in the school, from the school room, rather than a direct shot from the front of the temple. Taken on my exchange trip to Japan in ‘07

The Confucius Temple in Beijing, first built in 1302. It is the 2nd largest Confucius temple and was used to worship Confucius until 1911. This gate is called DaCheng Gate, Highest Accomplishment Gate, and leads to the main worship hall, DaCheng Hall. Also on the grounds are stone tablets with the names of all 51,624 Jinshi or advanced scholars from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. China was the first country to have a system of national examinations where people of all backgrounds could pass national exams to be able to take jobs in the government. This is one of my favorite places to visit in Beijing.

Cover page for China Signs Calendar Signs in China – where we were for some time – the second from the right bottom row Chinese script means safety or security. I love this, because the ‘roof’ on top indicated the home, and the portion on bottom means woman or mother. Hence, safety/security is mother at home. These photos were taken in the Confucius Temple in Nanjing. The stone carving is of one of his disciples, seven others were here as well. These may be published at some later date.

Throughout China, signs are used to inform, guide and regulate. As an English speaker, some of these tickled my sense of humour, however I could never rise to the challenge of writing signs in Chinese. I wanted to share some of these with you. / I photographed signs in Xian, Fengdu, Nanjing, Huan Shan, Nanjing, Chengdu and Shanghai, and have placed them in context with scenes from the same areas. / Public signs help us understand the writers and what they seek to achieve. In this way we can gain further empathy with the Chinese people. I trust you enjoy this calendar – through buying one for yourself, and viewing it each day, in full living color, throughout the year. / Each individual image (with specific comments about it) is also available for purchase on RedBubble. Just follow the links below, for each of the months. / Keith Richardson.
