Preface
Guizhou, abbreviated as “Qian” or “Gui”, is located in the heartland of southwest China. Across its 176,200 square kilometers of territory, 92.5% is covered by mountains and hills, making it the only province in China without plains. It is one of the regions where karst landforms are most typically developed and feature the greatest variety of types. Peak forests, gorges, waterfalls, karst caves, giant sinkholes (tiankeng), and underground rivers—it encompasses virtually all karst geological forms, earning it the reputation of the “Mountain Park Province.”
Situated between 24° and 29° N latitude with an average elevation of around 1,100 meters, Guizhou sits at a “health-nourishing altitude”—a golden latitude and elevation globally recognized as ideal for human settlement. With an average summer temperature of only 23°C and a forest coverage rate of up to 63%, the province is rich in negative oxygen ions, making it a veritable “natural oxygen bar” of fresh, oxygen-rich air.

From life philosophy to governance, Confucius’ wisdom has a profound and far-reaching influence. His thoughts are deep and extensive. Centered onbenevolence, regulated by rites and music, and utiliz-ing the Doctrine of the Mean as a method, he guided people to build a harmonious and ideal world. The Confucian thought system established by Confucius is the crystallization of Chinese history and culture and serves as the main axis of traditional Chinese culture.
