【不是政治，是文化】（立孔子像）和政治沒關(guān)系。國家博物館歷史、藝術(shù)并重，得有厚重感，你沒有一個(gè)文化巨人，那你就顯得沒有文化，也沒有歷史。這是世界公認(rèn)的四大文化巨人：蘇格拉底、耶穌、釋迦牟尼和孔子。而西方大館門口都有自己的雕塑。要從文化的角度去詮釋。
——政協(xié)委員、國家博物館館長呂章申 |
【A matter of culture rather than politics】The erection of a huge Confucius statue in front of the National Museum of China has nothing to do with politics. Items at the National Museum are of great value to both history and art, so the building itself should also embrace history. Confucius embodies the country's historical and cultural achievements. He was one of the world's top cultural icons, together with Socrates, Jesus and Buddha. Western countries all erect statues in front of their famous museums. It would be better to interpret this act from a cultural perspective.

China's annual consumption of digital cameras is more than 10 million, but 95 percent of those are foreign brands.

Chinese people are in desperate need of spiritual beliefs.】Curator of the National Library of China and CPPCC member Zhou Heping said that due to the lack of a predominant religion in China , people today are too eager to seek short term success and benefits, and turn their back on traditional virtues, such as good manners.
