Qufu The Analects Tablet Garden

　　     The Analects is one of the classics of Confucian culture. As the Song Dynasty Prime Minister Zhao Pu once said, “Half of The Analects is enough to govern the country.” The The Analects Tablet Garden combines landscapes, gardens, pavilions, and stone inscriptions into one, offering beautiful scenery and an elegant atmosphere. It is located 300 meters directly south of the Temple of Confucius and serves as a new, high-quality cultural tourism attraction that features the content of The Analects, showcases calligraphy as its expressive form, uses stone tablets as its medium, and is set within a classical garden environment.      The The Analects Tablet Garden is situated west of Dacheng Road in southern Qufu, covering an area of over 200 acres. It presents the sayings of Confucius from The Analects in various forms carved onto walls and rocks, accompanied by pavilions, halls, corridors of landscape paintings, all with an elegant ambiance. It spans more than 70 acres in area, includes over 400 towers, terraces, and pavilions, more than 7,000 square meters of lakes, ponds, pools, and waterfalls, and over 5,000 square meters of rockeries—making it a newly built, high-end cultural attraction suitable for both refined and popular tastes.
　　The The Analects Tablet Garden features tablets inscribed with all 512 chapters of The Analects, with calligraphy contributed by 512 renowned calligraphers from around the world, encompassing all major script styles including regular script, cursive script, clerical script, and seal script.
