Confucius and Laozi in Suits as Models: Merchants Claim They're Selling Culture, Not Clothes

The promotional poster features Confucius and Laozi dressed in Western suits

On the 6th, in front of a clothing company on Beijing East Road in Nanchang City, a large promotional poster caught the attention of many passersby. The reason was that on this poster, the ancient sages Confucius and Laozi were depicted wearing Western suits, with ties neatly knotted, transforming them into fashion models in formal attire. However, what the merchants considered to be a clever "innovation" drew widespread criticism from most citizens who passed by. They believed that such a promotion tactic was too frivolous and went against business ethics.
