Ancient Chinese sages saw the world as an interconnected web where all beings—human, animal, and plant—coexist in harmony. Today, China is reviving these age-old insights to shape a global community that thrives on diversity and mutual respect.
In "Keywords to Understand China: Cultural Exchanges," Li Chenxi, deputy editor-in-chief at Blossom Press, unpacks core ideas behind this harmonious worldview. By exploring principles like balance, respect for nature, and collective well-being, readers gain a fresh lens on how China engages with the world through culture, diplomacy, and innovation.
On the global stage, contemporary China channels ancient wisdom into real-world action. Collaborative art festivals connect artists across continents, green tech partnerships support sustainable cities, and educational exchanges foster cross-cultural dialogue among young leaders. These initiatives echo the sages' call to observe the laws of nature and build bridges rather than walls.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs, changemakers, and travelers, this book offers more than history—it provides a blueprint for inclusive growth. By decoding these keywords, we can spark new conversations on how diverse communities worldwide can learn from each other and live in balance.
