Shandong Province in east China， renowned as the birthplace of Confucius， is steeped in culture. To showcase its diverse folk art forms， the National Museum of China opened an exhibition titled Nostalgia in Mind in mid-July.
The over 1，500 exhibits bring a fusion of Yellow River and littoral cultures， whic h Shandong has inherited by virtue of being on the lower reaches of the Yellow River and surrounded by the sea.
The objects， ranging from farm implements and wickerwork to exquisite embroideries and toys， illustrate peoples timeless endeavor to live in harmony with nature and pursue a better life.
The exhibition will run for three months.
