Museums promote cultural confidence

During his visit to the museum, Xi learned about the life experiences, literary achievements, moral precepts and family traditions of the three masters. He said that China has a civilized history of more than 5,000 years, and that the nation's people should respect Chinese traditions and strengthen their cultural confidence.

The temple was built during the Song Dynasty. During a reconstruction project in 2019, more than 500 repairable cultural relics were excavated, and it was determined that the excavation site consisted of objects from the same era as the Three Sus.

The literary masters left behind a large collection of writings and poems about moral precepts. Their own guiding principles led them to eventually leave their hometown to serve their countrymen. Su Shi refused to fret over possible misfortune and insisted on benefiting the people as an official, and he served them well.

Museum visitors view the paintings and statues depicting how Su Xun's wife taught their two sons the importance of clean living and of serving the people, said museum curator Chen Zhongwen.

Xi holds such a precept in high regard.

He has asked leading officials at all levels to take the lead in promoting the precept and Chinese families to carry it forward.
