New Yellow River Reporter: Jiang Dan

From September 26th to 28th, the "2022 China (Qufu) International Confucius Cultural Festival Eighth Nishan World Civilization Forum" was held in Qufu, Jining. In the past three days, people from the academic circles and other parties commemorate Confucius in Nishan, discuss Confucian culture, and explore world civilization. For many people, this is an opportunity to contact Confucius at a time, breaking the stereotype of those people, getting rid of those naked spiritual symbols, and closer to perceive what Confucius is a kind of existence.

Chen Xuanyu from the Second Affiliated Primary School of Jining College and her friends participated in the large -scale immersive light and shadow show on the "Confucius and World thinkers" on the evening of the 26th. Chen Xuanyu said that this is the story of Grandpa Confucius. She and her friends came to power in the music of "Yo Ying Lu Ming, Food of the Food ...", cheerful and polite. Tang Zhihong, who participated in the performance with Chen Xuanyu, was surprised by the children of relatives in the country who had never seen the statue of Confucius. In Qufu he lived, "Confucius" was already a cultural daily life. They recite the Analects of Confucius and know the principles of virtue and deeds, learning and being a person.

Volunteers Liu Tongyu and Liu Yarui studied at Qufu Normal University. When they first came to Qufu, they also became novel for the rich Confucian elements here. Whether it is the name of the street or the style of architecture, these things they see at the first glance tell them that this is Confucius's hometown. In the future, they will go to the podium and become a teacher, and Confucius's most well -known identity is also "teacher".

In fact, sometimes we give Confucius too much meaning, but forgot this that looks the most common but most precious "teacher" identity. Confucius, a professor at the Capital Normal University who participated in the forum activities, said that going to the Confucian Temple and remembered the names and numbers of those landscapes and buildings. The reason for Confucius. He pioneered the tradition of "teaching and no class". Education is no longer unique to a group of people, but belongs to everyone. As long as you want to learn, you can work hard to become a good person.

Being a good person may also be the original intention of many people to learn Confucian culture. Meng Weilong from the United States likes this sentence, "Seeing the wisdom and thinking, seeing the inside and the inside", a person must learn and reflect in the control. He is an associate professor and a master's tutor of the Confucian Institute of Confucianism at the University of Shandong University, and the editor -in -chief of the international version of "History and History". Meng Weilong studied two degrees in China and found a suitable platform and learned to use it. Among them, the international version of "History and History" is an international channel for domestic Chinese scholars and foreign sinologists.

Civilization is not solidified, but flows, across land and ocean, span skin tone and language. At the Nishan World Youth Forum on the 26th, the foreign face of an international student Aimu attracted a lot of attention. Some people tried to ask him in English, can he simply speak a few words in the Analects of Confucius. Ai Mu answered in Chinese, he would all, "Zi said: There are friends from far away," "Knowing it is known, I do n’t know if you do n’t know it, it’ s knowing it. ” Those who have changed it from it "...

Of course, we will be happy to spread and accept the overseas of Confucian culture, but we will not be blind because of this, but we have a sober understanding of Confucian culture and world culture. On the afternoon of the 27th, there were many scholars dialogue in the Nishan Lecture Hall, which were issues of interaction between Chinese and Western cultural interactions. Yan Bingyu, a professor at the Confucian Higher Research Institute of Shandong University, said that Confucian civilization is an important existence of the existence of human civilization. Zhang Hongmin, a researcher at the Institute of Philosophy of the Zhejiang Academy of Social Sciences, said that the "benevolent" of Confucianism can become a bridge for the exchange of ecological civilization in the East and West. Chinese and Western cultures are in the diversity of human civilization, and they are looking for fit in interaction.

And this is exactly the theme of the Nichan World Civilization Forum: the common value of human civilization and humanity.
