"Shandong is the birthplace of Confucius and Confucianism, and the province has made much progress in involving people of different ages and government departments at all levels to inherit and maintain traditional Chinese culture.
I suggest that the entrance to Qufu's Temple and the Cemetery of Confucius and the Kong Family Mansion should be free in order to attract more visitors and allow more people to learn and understand the excellent traditional culture."
