What to do on a typical day

1. 09:10: The pattern of Buddhist temples in Nanputuo and Southern Fujian. Let’s first talk about the difference in spatial order between temples and academies. The two types of buildings are often talked about together. We should first divide the functions and then talk about the form.
2. 10:30: Gathering the history of aesthetic villages and overseas Chinese schools, and talking about the funding and academic system of Tan Kah Kee’s schools - running schools is one of the main threads in the modern history of southern Fujian.
3. 14:00: The inscriptions on the buildings and lintels of Gulangyu Island, telling the family concept from the inscriptions - the inscriptions are readable first-hand materials and are more credible than the explanations.
4. 16:40: The end of the road around the island, talking about the code head and the network of overseas Chinese hometowns - linking the clues of Confucianism to people's migration

Terminology Notes

• Zhu Zixue and the History of Acceptance on the Korean Peninsula: The Korean explanation first explains Zhu Xi’s official career and academy activities in Fujian, and then talks about the acceptance and differences in the peninsula without making any evaluation of the pros and cons.
• ancestral hall: Talk about the correspondence between clan sacrifices and architectural patterns, without giving religious explanations
