Light from the East: Chinese Confucianism Summit Helps People Understand the Temporal and Spatial Axes of Chinese-style Modernization

In the ancient Eastern civilization, Chinese astronomers constructed a three-tiered system to understand the laws governing the universe’s operation. According to the ancient insights into celestial mechanics, a time coordinate system was established. The star representing auspiciousness, the Nine Purple Right Assistant Star, will fly to a certain palace in 2024. Based on thousands of years of arrangement and statistical experience, this palace has been endowed with special significance, representing celebration and beauty, as well as the energy flow mentioned in the opening of the “Tao Te Ching,” which speaks of the profound and the gateway to myriad wonders.

Chinese culture embodies the deepest spiritual pursuits of the Chinese nation. From the strategic height of the sustainable inheritance of the Chinese nation and civilization, there has been profound reflection on how to continue promoting cultural prosperity, building a culturally strong nation, and constructing modern Chinese civilization in the new era. This has led to a series of new thoughts, viewpoints, and conclusions regarding cultural inheritance and development in the new era, guiding the creative transformation and innovative development of outstanding traditional Chinese culture and ensuring the continuity and vibrancy of Chinese cultural heritage.

Chinese civilization showcases remarkable continuity, fundamentally determining that the Chinese nation must follow its own path. Without understanding this long-standing historical continuity, one cannot comprehend ancient China, modern China, or future China.

Extracting the spiritual identifiers of China’s outstanding traditional culture and showcasing the essence of this culture that holds contemporary value and global significance is a crucial task in telling China’s story and spreading China’s voice. It is also a call for unwavering cultural confidence, embracing openness and inclusivity, while upholding integrity and innovation.

Confucianism studies, as an important cultural symbol of Chinese civilization, are not only the crystallization of wisdom but also contain concepts such as “the world belongs to the public,” “the people are the foundation of the state,” “governing with virtue,” “reforming the old and establishing the new,” “the unity of heaven and humanity,” “self-improvement,” “virtue carrying the weight,” “trustworthiness and harmony,” and “benevolence towards neighbors.” These ideas are deeply embedded in the long history of the Chinese people’s production and life, forming a worldview, outlook on the world, social perspective, and moral view that are intertwined with the bloodline of the Chinese nation, establishing a spiritual homeland for the Chinese people.

The Nine Purple Right Assistant Star is set to shine brightly.

Under the guidance of esteemed Confucianism studies scholar Mr. Lou Yulie, and organized by the Huaxia Cultural Promotion Association and the Shanpintang National Studies Institute, the “9.28 Global Chinese Confucianism Summit” will be held from September 27 to 29, 2024, at the Yanqi Lake International Convention Center in Beijing (the site of the APEC Summit).

 

The summit will encompass three major themes: business, life, and existence, promoting traditional culture. A hundred masters of national studies and business leaders will gather to share wisdom and practical knowledge.
