Spring has arrived in Jining, with warm sunshine bathing the city. The magnolia flowers at the Mencius Family Mansion are blooming, heralding a grand floral event of spring.

The magnolia flowers at the Mencius Family Mansion hold a touch of the tenderness in this sacred Confucian site. The white magnolias are like jade, purple ones resemble rosy clouds, and yellow ones are like gold, complementing the bluish bricks, dark tiles, and carved doors of the mansion.

Here, visitors can not only admire the gorgeous flower landscapes but also read chapters of the Mencius under the flowers. The fragrance of books and flowers intertwine, allowing people to appreciate the flowers' symbolization of a noble gentleman and feel the philosophical thoughts of flowers immersed in the thousand-year-old Confucian culture.
