Shangri-La Hotel, Qufu, China - In Harmony [2]
The hotel's interior design concept expresses the three key principles of Confucian philosophy -- order, harmony and hierarchy -- and is based on Confucius' Six Arts (which include the disciplines of Rites, Music, Archery, Chariot Racing, Calligraphy and Mathematics).
Hierarchy and harmony are conveyed in the hotel's dramatic lobby, where sleek symmetry and Chinese patterns repeated in ceiling reliefs and on marble floors capture a mood of harmonious elegance. Upon arrival, guests will be greeted by the sight of two full-grown trees planted in the middle of the lobby, where natural daylight streams in from a glass roof. The trees are surrounded by a carpet of grass, marble seats and dark wood columns. The vast lobby features an 8.5-metre-high ceiling with oversized lantern-shaped light fixtures and windows overlooking lush greenery and garden pavilions. Deep red lacquer panels offset the reception desk, which is highlighted by a painting of Chinese plum blossoms reinterpreted using mixed media.

10 Life Lessons From Confucius We Should All Follow
Confucius (551–479 BC)[1] was a Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history.
The philosophy of Confucius emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the Hundred Schools of Thought era only to be suppressed in favor of the Legalists during the Qin Dynasty. Following the victory of Han over Chu after the collapse of Qin, Confucius's thoughts received official sanction and were further developed into a system known as Confucianism.
Confucius is traditionally credited with having authored or edited many of the Chinese classic texts including all of the Five Classics, but modern scholars are cautious of attributing specific assertions to Confucius himself. Aphorisms concerning his teachings were compiled in the Analects, but only many years after his death.
Confucius's principles had a basis in common Chinese tradition and belief. He championed strong family loyalty, ancestor worship, respect of elders by their children and of husbands by their wives. He also recommended family as a basis for ideal government. He espoused the well-known principle Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself, an early version of the Golden Rule.

Temple of Confucius: Episode Two
The sequel in a mini series of showing the public on construction methods of project 1845. In this episode I conduct a second hour on the temple by laying down outlines of buildings.
The Temple of Confucius at Beijing (北京孔庙/北京孔廟) is the second largest Confucian Temple in China, after the one in Confucius' hometown of Qufu.
The temple was built in 1302, and officials used it to pay their respects to Confucius until 1911. The compound was enlarged twice, during the Ming and Qing dynasties and now occupies some 20,000 square meters.

Day 3 - Audi Q3 Trans China Tour 2011
Never-ending frenzy, restless activity and constant noise appear to dominate the China of the present. Yet contemplative calm, meditative relaxation and absolute concentration form the very foundation of traditional Chinese culture -- or so we think in the West. This is an apparent contradiction with which most people in China appear to have no problem whatsoever. Today's program for the participants in the Trans China Tour includes a meeting with Confucius -- albeit of a tourist nature. And the evening brings beer with German roots.
The face in the crowd -- the distinctive daytime running lights guarantee the Audi Q3 an individual presence in every crush.
Haste in Jinan's morning rush hour traffic is a pointless exercise. The only sensible way to approach this is with patience and a relaxed attitude. It easily takes an hour for all the vehicles on the Audi Q3 Trans China Tour 2011 to leave the city at the start of the second stage. However, the open road that follows compensates for all the stress -- serpentines wind their way up to an altitude of 900 meters, the scenery is forested and sparsely populated. In one of the villages along the route there is virtually no way through for the cars -- today is the weekly market and it occupies the entire road. Hand carts with fruit, cages of poultry, stalls laden with textiles all use the carriageway as their retail space. The horn helps to prevent the Q3 from becoming simply another part of the furniture -- but it's hard work.
However, there is power in calm. An understanding, even a wisdom, that can only come from the traditional culture of this land -- the culture of the temple and the monks, the silent arts and the sacred sanctuaries. A great deal is sacred in this land, despite all the dramatic turbulence of the last century. Mountains, for example, are sacred -- a lot of mountains. Nobody knows the exact number. However, Tai Shan (1532 meters), north of the city of Taian and situated directly next to the route of the Trans China Tour, is definitely one of them. It is one of the five sacred mountains of Taoism and has been worshipped since the 11th century and possibly even longer. The list of its conquerors is long and impressive -- Confucius and Mao Zedong were here, as were six Chinese emperors. More than 6000 stone steps lead the way to its summit. For tourists, however, there is also a cable car -- a tribute to these constantly hurried, modern times.
The participants in the Trans China Tour are able to experience another, far more meaningful memorial to Chinese history -- Qufu is where Confucius once lived and allegedly also died. According to popular myth in the area, almost every fourth inhabitant of this World Heritage Site is descended from the great Chinese philosopher and visionary. The old town is surrounded by a city wall, while the Confucius Temple with its nine courtyards, gardens and many buildings is an impressive sight.
Confucius -- in the West, quoted frequently and usually incorrectly. He was born under the name of Kong Qiu and supposedly lived from 551 B.C. until 479 B.C. The human condition was the central theme of his philosophical work. Respecting one's fellow man and honoring one's elders elevate the individual to a noble person.
For Confucius, whose life's work was dedicated to education, it was important to strive for harmony and the middle way, equanimity and balance. Even though tourism is rather the dominating feature here, this visit nevertheless leaves behind a small sense of this land's mighty history.
Today's destination is the port city of Qingdao. Although it might seem hard to believe on the long approach through the sprawling miles of new buildings, this city actually has a significant colonial heritage -- of a German nature. The port was captured under Kaiser Wilhelm II and a lease contract signed for the next 99 years. Although the German occupation lasted only until 1914, they still managed to build a brewery, the train station, a lighthouse, the protestant church, several missionary posts, a variety of German educational institutions... Although, like everywhere else in booming China, many of these colonial buildings have had to give way to palaces of glass and steel, there are still enough architectural monuments left to give this teaming city a very special flair.
Among the first tasks undertaken by the German colonialists in 1903 was the construction of a proper brewery. Under the name Tsingtau Germania Bauerei, it began by brewing pilsner and Munich brown ale. Japanese occupation, the period under the leadership of Kuomintang and finally communist China -- Tsingtao has survived it all and is now enjoyed across the globe. There are virtually no Chinese restaurants in which this beverage is not included on the menu. The Chinese state today holds a 45-percent share of the company, with Japanese brewery Asahi being the second-largest shareholder with 31 percent.

SUMMARY
=======
Mao Zedong (December 26, 1893 – September 9, 1976), also known as Chairman Mao, was a Chinese communist revolutionary who became the founding father of the People's Republic of China, which he ruled as the Chairman of the Communist Party of China from its establishment in 1949 until his death in 1976. His theories, military strategies, and political policies are collectively known as Maoism.
Mao was the son of a wealthy farmer in Shaoshan, Hunan. He had a Chinese nationalist and anti-imperialist outlook early in his life, and was particularly influenced by the events of the Xinhai Revolution of 1911 and May Fourth Movement of 1919. He later adopted Marxism–Leninism while working at Peking University, and became a founding member of the Communist Party of China (CPC), leading the Autumn Harvest Uprising in 1927. During the Chinese Civil War between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the CPC, Mao helped to found the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, led the Jiangxi Soviet's radical land policies, and ultimately became head of the CPC during the Long March. Although the CPC temporarily allied with the KMT under the United Front during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945), China's civil war resumed after Japan's surrender and in 1949 Mao's forces defeated the Nationalist government, which withdrew to Taiwan.
On October 1, 1949, Mao proclaimed the foundation of the People's Republic of China (PRC), a single-party state controlled by the CPC. In the following years he solidified his control through land reforms and through a psychological victory in the Korean War, as well as through campaigns against landlords, people he termed counter-revolutionaries, and other perceived enemies of the state. In 1957 he launched a campaign known as the Great Leap Forward that aimed to rapidly transform China's economy from agrarian to industrial. This campaign led to the deadliest famine in history and the deaths of an estimated minimum of 45 million people between 1958 and 1962. In 1966, Mao initiated the Cultural Revolution, a program to remove counter-revolutionary elements in Chinese society which lasted 10 years and was marked by violent class struggle, widespread destruction of cultural artifacts, and an unprecedented elevation of Mao's cult of personality. The program is now officially regarded as a severe setback for the PRC. In 1972, Mao welcomed American President Richard Nixon in Beijing, signalling the start of a policy of opening China to the world. After years of ill health, Mao suffered a series of heart attacks in 1976 and died at the age of 82. He was succeeded as paramount leader by Premier Hua Guofeng, who was quickly sidelined and replaced by Deng Xiaoping.
A controversial figure, Mao is regarded as one of the most important and influential individuals in modern world history. He is also known as a political intellect, theorist, military strategist, poet, and visionary. Supporters credit him with driving imperialism out of China, modernising the nation and building it into a world power, promoting the status of women, improving education and health care, as well as increasing life expectancy as China's population grew from around 550 million to over 900 million under his leadership. Conversely, his regime has been called autocratic and totalitarian, and condemned for bringing about mass repression and destroying religious and cultural artifacts and sites. It was additionally responsible for vast numbers of deaths with estimates ranging from 30 to 70 million victims.
