Zhou Xueze

The 2022 China (Qufu) International Confucius Cultural Festival and the 8th Nishan World Civilization Forum will be held in Qufu from September 26th to 28th. Earlier, on September 15, the Jinan Press Conference announced that during the event, Chinese and foreign scholars will closely focus on the theme of "the diversity of human civilization and the value of human beings", focusing on the cultural exchanges and mutual learning of the East and the West, and the excellent traditional Chinese culture. Hold various activities such as the Mayor of the International Friendship City (Nishan), the Qilu Culture Bank in China, and the Nishan World Youth Forum.

"The sky is not born in Zhongni, the eternal night is like a long night." Nishan is the birthplace of Confucius. The Confucius Cultural Festival and the World Civilization Forum are held in Nishan. In the context of the complex and changing world situation today, re -appreciate Confucius "harmony for peace" Important ideas have important practical significance.

The world today has not changed in a century. Since the beginning of this year, the Russian and Ukraine War has been unknown for more than 6 months, which has brought a profound impact on the world's political and economic pattern. The Russian and Ukraine War was part of the unchanged situation in a century. The first major impact was to rewrite the global energy pattern. The second major impact was to cause new food problems. The far -reaching influence, China cannot be outside.

It should be seen that in the current international relations, some countries pursue the increase in the cold war thinking and zero -sum concepts, and the increase in barriers such as trade and technology, leading to constant conflicts. How to rationally treat each other's development, respect the path of the other party's development, and promote the normal exchanges between the country with fair cooperation and competition, the ideas such as "Concorde Wanbang" and "and different" are effective "antidote".

Climate change is also becoming a common challenge facing all human beings. In recent years, the impact of global warming has increased. This summer, many European countries have experienced severe drought brought by high temperatures. It is called "the worst year in 500 years". The Rhine is low water level, and the ships cannot cross the watercourse. Last year, the drought was in the western United States and Mexico. The keywords, Duozhou encountered the worst drought since the record; this summer, the Chinese Yangtze River Basin also encountered severe high temperature and drought weather.

Studies have shown that the greenhouse gases generated by human activities have exacerbated drought as early as a hundred years ago, and may have intensified in the next decades. Climate change is a common challenge of human beings, which also allows people to once again appreciate the preciousness of Chinese philosophy "the unity of heaven and man".

The world situation and climate change shows that the destiny of various countries is closely related, and the community of human destiny community is "time also." In this context, countries around the world gather together to solve the problems facing together. The Nishan Forum is exactly providing a dialogue platform for the resolution of various problems.

Solution, first is relationship reconciliation. The relationship between harmonious and harmonious is conducive to whether there is any communication and growing together. Relationship reconciliation includes not only the reconciliation of the relationship between people, the reconciliation between the relationship between the country, and the harmonious symbiosis of all things and nature.

Solution is to "solve" the problem. The objective world is interconnected, and the butterfly effect exists everywhere. Your fruit may also be cast into his fruit because of him. Human beings are located in the "Earth Village". Only by unity and cooperation can we solve common challenges. The Nishan Forum conducts ideological exchanges in the way of dialogue. It is an effective way to settle down, and it is also the best way to solve the problem.

The "solution" dialogue of the Nishan Forum reflects the broad "world" of the Chinese people. The same concepts of the world have been passed down in China. "The Golden Mean" says the scope of the world: "The boat and the car are coming, the manpower is all connected, the heavens are covered, the earth contains, the sun and the moon are shown, and the frosty team." "Shang Shu" understands the "world" at that time: "The east is gradually in the sea, the west is in Liu Sand, the south of the south, and the vocal teachings are in the world." The Nishan Forum advocates the cultural exchanges and mutual learning of the East and the West. It reflects the wide minds of the Chinese.

The "solution" dialogue of the Nishan Forum reflects the spirit of the Chinese people's "not allowed". "The Analects of Confucius · Wei Linggong": "Dangren will not let the teacher." Zhu Xi note: "Dang Ren, with benevolence as his own responsibility." Speaking of the word interpretation: Benevolence, phase doll; from two. "From the two people", "Ren" first solves the problem of attitudes towards others, extending to the relationship between the country and the country, and how to treat the development of other countries. The Nishan Forum respects "the common value of human civilization and the common value of human beings", and it is not the development of a country. I hope that all countries will be symbiotic and prosperous, and the pursuit of "World Datong", which reflects China's responsibility.

The "solution" dialogue of the Nishan Forum reflects the cultural advantages of Chinese philosophy in accordance with the real world. The concept of Chinese philosophy showed deep care of the real world from the beginning. In "The Analects of Confucius · Advanced Articles", Confucius student Ji Lu asked him about how to do ghosts and gods. Confucius replied: "If you have no one, you can do ghosts?" Ji Lu asked again: "Dare to ask death." Confucius said, " Unknown life, knowing death? "Confucius' basic attitude on the issue of ghosts and gods, life and death is not believed in ghosts and gods, and does not focus on the next life, but on the" personnel "of this life and this life. Since then, Wang Yangming's "seeking" and Wang Fu's "famous and non -heaven, must be in fact" and other thoughts. These ideas are the cultural wealth that actively responded to reality and challenges. It is worthy of our further promotion. Solve the platform of objective world issues.

Since the founding of Nishan World Civilization Forum, it has held the "New York Nishan Forum" in the United Nations Headquarters, the "Paris Nishan Forum" at the UNESCO Headquarters, the "Bangkok Nishan Forum" in Thailand, and "Beijing Nii Nigeria" in Beijing "Mountain Forum" and the "Civilization Diversity and Asian Future" Nishan Forum special seminar during the Asian Civilization Dialogue Conference, etc., all achieved important results and caused great response. Especially the seventh Nishan Forum held in September last year, more than 30 activities were organized around the theme of "Civilized Dialogue and Global Cooperation". More than 500 people from Chinese and foreign guests, experts and scholars, representatives from all walks of life, and media reporters participated in the forum on the spot, online and offline More than 50,000 people participated in the ceremony of sacrifice and released the "Consensus on Civilization Dialogue and Global Cooperation". The activities, scale, content, form, achievements, and influence all have new breakthroughs and improvements. Beneficial insights. "The thinking becomes wide." Many problems in the world, as soon as the way of thinking changes, may be very different. Solving problems with confrontation, there is no solution; cutting in with cooperation, the problem may be solved. The Nishan World Civilization Forum has been successfully held for the seventh session since its establishment in 2010. The eighth Nishan World Civilization Forum is about to open. Its pursuit is to learn from civilization, seek common ground while depositing differences, provide a path to solve problems, and find the path of symbiosis of mutual existence. Make the world better, this is what we live in the planet that we lives mostly.
