He has long been engaged in museum exhibition design and new media art creation, emphasising the integration of media and space to create unique and outstanding projects. His works have won many major awards at home and abroad, including the gold award of China National Art Awards. The Confucius Museum has a total construction area of 55,000m, of which the exhibition area accounts for 15,000m. It is a major cultural project with benchmark significance of the times in contemporary China. As the core figure of the Axial Age, Confucius and his thoughts have profound impact on Chinese civilization. The exhibition
design of the Confucius Museum strives to fully display the essence of his thoughts. The project consists of one core axis, two major experience areas, and six thematic spaces for basic display. The six outstanding themed areas include the Era of Confucius, the Life of Confucius, the Sagely Wisdom of Confucius, Confucius and Chinese Civilisation, Confucius and Global Civilisation, and the collection of the Kong Family Mansion. One design highlight is the striking Wisdom Exhibition Hall. Under the background of a beautifully unified oriental landscape, the stories gradually unfold one after another in the unique space, and the audience travels through the one-of-a-kind scenes to gradually deepen their understanding of Confucius’ thoughts and wisdom.
