Honorable Mention Prize — Feng Youlan Memorial Hall

The Tanghe government invested 20 million yuan ($3.14 million) to build this memorial hall to commemorate Feng Youlan in 2011.

Feng Youlan (1895-1990), born in Tanghe county of Nanyang, was one of the most renowned Chinese scholars and championed the history of Chinese philosophy in the modern era.

Feng published a series of books, including New Rational Philosophy and A New Treatise on the Nature of Tao. Some of his books were translated into different languages, and Feng's philosophic thoughts have had a great influence both at home and abroad.

The memorial hall, which exhibits Feng's articles, writings, and letters, has become one of the most popular local tourist attractions and played a vital role in promoting Feng's philosophy and spirit.
