The China Han Painting and Stone Tablet Museum was established in 2005. The Yellow River Culture Gift Shop selected a portion of its collection of thousands of Han paintings and Han stone tablet rubbings, gathered over many years, to serve as the foundation of the museum. The initial exhibition focuses mainly on the Qufu region — Jining area, known as the hometown of Confucius and Mencius.
It centrally displays four themes: first, "Half of China’s Han Stone Tablets Are in Jining"; second, the Tomb of the King of Rencheng, an ancient Chinese character library; third, "Jining’s Han Paintings Rank First Under Heaven"; and fourth, the Six Mountains Cliff Carvings, the essence of cliff art. Han paintings and stone tablets are treasures in the treasury of Chinese culture and the crystallization of the wisdom of the laboring people during the Han Dynasty. Rubbings are traditional hand-rubbed craftworks. Due to their profound cultural significance, they were ranked as the top collectibles during the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, periods known for flourishing collecting culture. We warmly welcome friends from all walks of life to visit the hometown of Confucius and Mencius and experience this World Cultural Heritage.
