Ancient Chinese philosopher and neo-confucianist Zhu Xi left his mark on many culturally significant places, and Jianyang, a district of Nanping city in Fujian, shares a special connection with him. It is here that Zhu Xi founded both his first and final academies, and where his tomb is located.

Antonio and Zayulis, two students from Jinan University, embarked on a journey to explore three key historical sites associated with Zhu Xi in Jianyang. During their adventure, they used cutting-edge technology to engage in a time-transcending conversation with an AI version of Zhu Xi, climbed the symbolic "Zhong(中)shaped" steps to grasp Confucian wisdom, and visited an interactive exhibit showcasing the philosopher's illustrious life and legacy.

This journey offered a profound dive into Confucianism, seamlessly blending tradition with modern discovery. Watch the video to experience it for yourself!
