温故知新 | Foreign Media Influencers Write The Analects by Hand at Nishan Sacred Land, Savoring the Charm of Confucianism

From September 19 to 20, the cultural experience event "2026 Revisiting and Renewing: Jining Journey — Sacred Nishan Invites You to Share" made its way to Nishan Sacred Land.A number of foreign media influencers picked up their brushes and ground ink to transcribe classic passages from The Analects, feeling the thousand-year charm of Confucian thought in every stroke, and appreciating the wisdom of the ancient sages through ink and brush.

Foreign influencer Bai Lisha was no stranger to calligraphy, having first encountered the art during her university years. "This is not my first time getting in touch with calligraphy — I've practiced it before, because the university I attended in China offered free calligraphy classes. When you write, you need to be very patient and very careful, so this art can help you become more patient and more attentive," she said. Bai Lisha admitted that writing these classic lines stroke by stroke in the birthplace of Confucius allowed her to rediscover the wisdom of The Analects, and to appreciate the focus and composure advocated by Confucian culture.
