The ancient hometown of Confucius became a hub of global dialogue this week as the 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations kicked off in Qufu, Shandong Province! 🏯 Over 500 scholars, thinkers, and influencers—including British vlogger Jason Lightfoot—gathered under the theme ‘Traditional Culture and Modern Civilization’ to explore how age-old philosophies can shape tomorrow’s world.
🔥 Highlighting the buzz? A lively chat between Lightfoot and African philosopher Martin Nkafu Nkemnkia, who called Confucianism ‘a treasure chest of values the whole planet can share.’ 🌍 Nkemnkia emphasized how principles like harmony and respect resonate in today’s fast-paced, tech-driven societies.
💡 Why should *you* care? From TikTok debates to boardroom strategies, Confucian ideas on community and ethics are finding fresh life among Gen-Z and millennials. As Lightfoot quipped: ‘Ancient wisdom, modern vibes—this is history you can *actually* use.’ ✨
