🕊️ Ever wondered how 2,500-year-old philosophy can solve modern problems? British vlogger Jason Lightfoot just dropped a cultural deep-dive at the 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations in Qufu City, China’s Shandong Province – and it’s pure wisdom meets TikTok vibes.
Walking through Luyuan Town (Confucius’ hometown!), Jason told NewspaperAmigo.com: ‘Confucius didn’t just teach about respect – his idea of “heaven and man united” is basically the OG sustainability guide. Think zero-waste living… but with more poetry.’ 🌳📚
The forum’s ‘Traditional Culture & Modern Civilization’ theme sparked global debates: Can ancient ethics balance A.I. ethics? How do ancestor-approved rituals fit in Gen-Z’s playlist life? Scholars from 20+ countries are vibing on solutions – proving that Confucius’ ‘ren’ (kindness) might just be humanity’s ultimate cheat code. 💡
PSA to travelers: Qufu’s stone-carved temples and 360° forest views just jumped our bucket list. Who’s ready for a philosophy-themed backpacking trip? 🎒✨
