A peer reviewed academic monograph and the first book length study of China's two feature film treatments of Confucius, grounding Fei Mu's 1940 Kong Fuzi and Hu Mei's 2010 Confucius as pre-socialist and post-socialist examples of Chinese political and philosophical filmmaking, drawing on film studies, comparative philosophy and media archaeology. Its strength is peer review and sustained scholarly attention to the 2010 film specifically, rather than a passing mention inside a broader survey. Its limit is that this atlas could verify its publication record, publisher and scope directly, but the full monograph text sat behind an access wall not reachable during research, so it is cited for the fact of sustained scholarly treatment and the book's own published framing, not for page-level claims beyond that.

David H. Fleming's Cinematically Rendering Confucius, Palgrave Macmillan, Cham, 2025, the top tier reflecting a peer reviewed academic monograph and the first book length study of its subject, drawing on film studies, comparative philosophy and media archaeology. Its limit is that this atlas could verify its publication record, publisher and scope directly, but the full monograph text sat behind an access wall not reachable during research, so it is cited for the fact of sustained scholarly treatment and the book's own published framing, not for page-level claims beyond that. NotesDOI 10.1007/978-3-031-79066-9. Author is Senior Lecturer in Communications, Media and Culture, University of Stirling. Cited for the fact of sustained scholarly, book length treatment of the 2010 film as a serious object of Chinese political philosophy rather than only a commercial or propaganda artifact.
