The 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations is set to take place from July 10 to 11 in Qufu, Jining City, east China’s Shandong Province—the birthplace of the renowned Chinese philosopher Confucius.
Since its inception in September 2010, the Nishan Forum has evolved into an influential international platform for academic and cultural exchange. Originally held biennially, the forum increased its frequency to an annual event starting with its sixth edition in 2020, reflecting its growing significance in global dialogues.
Over the years, the Nishan Forum has become a vital conduit for promoting traditional Chinese culture and fostering international understanding. It serves as a cornerstone of China’s soft power and public diplomacy efforts, disseminating Confucian ideals and contributing to the conception of a global community with a shared future.
This year’s forum will bring together scholars, thinkers, and cultural enthusiasts from around the world to explore how Confucian ideas can integrate with modern civilization. The discussions aim to bridge cultural divides and offer insights into addressing contemporary global challenges through the lens of ancient wisdom.
For participants and observers alike, the 10th Nishan Forum represents an opportunity to engage with profound philosophical concepts and their applications in today’s world, further enriching the tapestry of global cultural exchange.
