How would a 2,500-year-old philosopher tackle TikTok trends or AI ethics? 🤔 This week, global thinkers are gathering at the 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations in Qufu – Confucius' hometown – to explore how ancient wisdom can shape our fast-changing world. 🌟
Since 2010, this biennial event has evolved into an annual cultural hotspot 🎓, blending academic discussions with real-world solutions. This year's edition (July 10-11) focuses on making Confucian values like harmony and mutual learning resonate with Gen-Z priorities like sustainability and digital citizenship. 🌱💻
\"This isn't about dusty history books,\" says local student Li Mei, 21. \"It's about finding roots for our globalized generation.\" 🌍 The forum has become China's cultural diplomacy superstar, recently promoting the \"global community of shared future\" concept through collaboration-themed panels and youth workshops. 🤝
