In order to help teachers and students better understand Confucius Academy and traditional Chinese culture, Confucius Academy specially arranged visits and Han-style clothes experience activities. Under the guidance of the commentator, they first visited the landmark buildings such as Lingxing Gate, Confucius Statue, Dacheng Hall and Confucius Exhibition Hall, and get close to the magnificent architecture system and profound cultural connotation of Confucius Academy.

Afterwards, Confucius Academy staff showed the skills of putting on Han-style clothes and explained its history. In the process, everyone showed great interest and put on Han-style clothes one after another to feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture in an intimate way.

Everyone expressed that Han-style clothes and its historical allusions were very beautiful, and the experience activity arranged by Confucius Academy was of great significance in deepening the understanding of traditional Chinese culture, especially Han-style clothes, so they would like to share their feelings here with family and friends as soon as possible after coming back home, and suggested them taking the opportunity to come and experience it.
