Move over, trivia nights—classics experts just upped the game! 🎉 The first World Conference of Classics in China drew 485 scholars from over 30 countries and regions, blending academic rigor with playful creativity. From professors based in the Chinese mainland to globe-trotting researchers, attendees swapped ancient wisdom for a modern challenge: CGTN’s “Guess the Masters of Classics” identification game. 🕵️♂️📚
Imagine scholars squinting at pixelated images of Socrates or debating whether a quote belongs to Confucius or Aristotle—yes, it got that lively! 🧠💥 The event highlighted cross-cultural connections, with participants bonding over shared passions for history, philosophy, and… competitive guessing. One attendee from Greece joked, “This is like the Olympics for book lovers!” 🇬🇷❤️📖
Beyond the games, the conference showcased China’s growing role as a hub for global dialogue. Scholars praised the mix of Eastern and Western classics, proving that millennia-old ideas still resonate in our TikTok era. 🎤✨ As the crowd dispersed, one thing was clear: classics aren’t just dusty tomes—they’re a universal language. 🌐💬
