Xiao Kong: Oh, hello, e with me—I’m going to the temple right now. By the way, what does“Achilles’heel”mean
William: Oh, it means that something is my weakness—I’m really bad with maps! So do you know much about Confucius He’s one of my favourite philosophers. He was such a wise man.
Xiao Kong: Oh, yes. I was born here. In fact, I believe I am a descendant of Confucius himself.
William: No way, you’re pulling my leg, right So how do you know you’re related to Confucius Didn’t he live over 2, 500 years ago
Xiao Kong: Yes, but his family tree is well recorded. He has over three million descendants. Sorry again, what does “pulling my leg” mean
William: Oh, sorry, it means to joke with someone. Anyway, so you’re actually going to the temple to pay respects to your relative
Xiao Kong: Well, yes. But I’m also meeting my study group there. We are doing a research project on Confucius’ ideas on education .You know Confucius was a great educator, and he had many great ideas about education. For example, he talked about the relationship between learning and reflecting. He believed that learning without reflecting leads to confusion... Oh, look, the temple is just over there.
William: Oh, great! What’s that big building over there
Xiao Kong : Oh, that’s the famous Dacheng Hall. You know, it’s so well-respected in Qufu that no other building in the city can be taller than it.
William: Wow, now that’s respect That’s a little bit like my hometown—Stratford-upon-Avon.
Xiao Kong: Wait, you mean where Shakespeare was from What a coincidence--Confucius and Shakespeare, two of the greatest minds in history! I really want to visit the UK—I’ m really interested in British history and culture.
William: Oh, that’s great! So later we can go for a cup of tea and have a chat about it. And it would be great if you could take me somewhere to get my watch fixed.
Xiao Kong: OK, no problem! So come and meet my study group—we can tell you all about the temple. And how long are you staying in Qufu I can show you the Cemetery of Confucius and the Kong Family Mansion as well...
William: Really That’s so kind! I need all the help I can get—I'm like a fish out of water.

Paul: Well, to be honest, when I first arrived, I was a little disappointed. I had expected something different. But then I walked into the old city. I was so amazed! It was like walking into history. So many beautiful buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties…
Xiao Yan: Yes, Pingyao has a long history—over 2,000 years. It used to be a very important banking centre in China.
Paul: Yes, so I visited the Rishengchang Bank and learnt all about the Jin Businessmen. I’ve got to say though, it wasn’t as big as I had expected. But it was still interesting to learn about what banks were like almost 200 years ago.
Xiao Yan: Oh, well, what about the Ming-Qing Street—that’s pretty big. Some of the snacks there are amazing!
Paul: Oh, that place, yes. But I had no idea there would be so many tourists! So I decided to leave and ride out to Shuanglin Temple.
Xiao Yan: Oh, cool, that’s one of my favourite places! It’s so peaceful out there.
Paul: Yeah, that place is really quiet. And some of those sculptures—wow! I couldn’t believe how big and lifelike they were.
Xiao Yan: Yes, they’re amazing. So today you walked along the city wall, right
Paul: Unfortunately, no. I just didn’t have the time.
Xiao Yan: Wow, I can’t believe you didn’t see the wall! You have to stay longer, Paul. There’s so much more of Pingyao’s history to see.
