Features: Panoramic Museum Series. The Museum of Famous Chinese includes 137 notable figures from the legendary Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, to modern aviation pioneer Feng Ru. Among them are politicians, thinkers, military strategists, scientists, and literary and artistic figures—extraordinary individuals whose achievements have had a lasting impact on China's civilization. Here, you can discuss the rise and fall of dynasties with the great emperors of Qin and Han, or engage in philosophical debates with Confucius and Mencius; explore Taoist wisdom with Laozi and Zhuangzi; learn timeless and eternal strategies from Sun Tzu and Sun Bin; and witness how Cai Lun and Bi Sheng made their great inventions, profoundly influencing the course of world civilization. Li Bai, a proud and unrestrained poet; Su Shi, a broad-minded and free-spirited scholar; and Qu Yuan, who died for his ideals—these legendary figures will accompany you in marveling at the joys and sorrows of life. Reading these great men is like reading China's profound and rich traditional culture; it is like reading the spirit of the nation, like reading the wisdom accumulated by the Chinese nation over thousands of years.
