Confucianism, an enduring philosophical tradition, continues to influence global cultural exchanges today. At the 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations held in Qufu, Shandong Province, Tongji University Professor Shao Longbao emphasized the profound impact of Confucian values on modern society.
\"Confucian tradition is the cultural gene and lifeblood of the Chinese people,\" Professor Shao remarked, highlighting the foundational role these teachings play in shaping societal norms and international interactions.
The Nishan Forum, a platform for intercultural dialogue, brought together scholars and thought leaders to explore the intersections of ancient wisdom and contemporary challenges. Professor Shao's insights shed light on how Confucian principles promote harmony, respect, and ethical governance, fostering stronger global partnerships and mutual understanding.
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the universal themes rooted in Confucianism offer valuable frameworks for addressing issues such as sustainability, human rights, and social equity. By integrating these timeless concepts with modern innovations, Confucianism not only preserves cultural heritage but also contributes to progressive global narratives.
