The Economist: What China Wants

An August 2014 issue of weekly newspaper The Economist licensed a reproduction of a painting of ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius, sourced from the Bridgeman archive. It was superimposed onto a photograph of a modern bus stop in China to illustrate the country’s struggle to identify with its traditional past and powerful economic future.

Though Confucius lived between c.551-479 BC, the image chosen was a 17th century painting created during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). The philosopher and his theories on family, self-cultivation and virtue have inspired painters and sculptors for centuries across the world.
