由我国山东省和意大利马尔盖大区联合举办的“孔子文化展”于本月上旬在意大利中部城市乌尔比诺隆重开幕。遥远东方的“至圣先师”首次踏足欧洲,引来了川流不息的参观人群,为这座秀丽的山城平添了节日气氛。 乌尔比诺是文艺复兴“三杰”之一拉斐尔的出生地,也是17世纪传教士利马窦的故乡。正是这位传教士首先将中国传统文化的重要组成部分儒家学说介绍到了欧洲,使孔夫子在“旧大陆”声明远播,家喻户晓。 展览在古公爵府、圣多梅尼科古教堂和拉斐尔剧院分三处举行,共设7个展厅,占地2000多平方米。一尊由古木雕成的3米多高孔子雕像巍然耸立在展览序厅,向观众展示了这位中国伟大先哲儒雅 The “Confucius Cultural Exhibition” jointly organized by Shandong Province of China and Italy and Marche Region was grandly opened in Urbino, the central city of Italy earlier this month. For the first time in Europe, the “Most Holy Master” in the Far East attracted a constant stream of visitors and added a festive atmosphere to this beautiful mountain town.

A 3 meter high statue of Confucius, made of ancient wood carvings, stood proudly in the exhibition hall to show the audience the great sage of China
