The statue measures 9.5 meters in height. It was created by famed sculptor Wu Weishan, who has produced many statues of Confucius in a variety of gestures and facial expressions over the years. This time around Wu hopes his elaborately created piece can serve as the name card of Chinese culture, and echo the theme of grandeur and the spirit of 皇冠体育app along with the National Museum.
