About this Qufu map poster
Qufu lies in south-western Shandong, on the plain north of the Si River. At its heart is a nearly rectangular old city, still outlined by walls and a moat, with streets running in a regular pattern inside. The Temple of Confucius and the Kong Family Mansion take up a large part of the centre. Their long courtyard compounds run north to south.
This is the birthplace of Confucius, and the city has been linked to him and his descendants for more than two thousand years. The Temple, the Kong Family Mansion and the Cemetery of Confucius, a large wooded area north of the city, were inscribed together as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.
A Qufu map poster shows one of the clearest examples of a traditional Chinese city plan. The walled rectangle, the long axial temple complexes and the regular streets are all visible in outline. Around them, newer districts spread across the plain. In black and white the composition has great calm, which suits a city so associated with learning.

Why Qufu
A map that means something
Qufu matters to students of philosophy, teachers and families with roots in Shandong. A map of the city is a quiet tribute to the tradition of learning it represents and fits a study or a classroom well.
Set a title, perhaps a quotation or a name, and a subtitle with a date, then adjust the coordinates. Pick one of the five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Paper gives the print a scholarly, archival look.
