International Experts Highlight Contemporary Value of Confucianism at The 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 July 2024 – “The essence of Confucianism is to promote social and national stability by instructing people on how to live, which is applicable worldwide and in any era,” said Yasuo Fukuda, former prime minister of Japan and chairman of the International Confucian Association at an international forum held in Qufu, Shandong Province, the hometown of Confucius on Wednesday.

Fukuda said that the Confucian concepts, which have endured for millennia, continue to play a significant role in Japanese society, proving its contemporary value.
International experts shared their insights on Confucian concepts at the 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations, aiming to draw wisdom from traditional culture to find solutions to global challenges.
“What kind of world will it be? Confucius gives the right idea — one is harmony in diversity, and another is a shared future,” said Jeffrey D. Sachs, president of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, who proposed using ancient wisdom to address modern challenges.
“No country is supreme on its own. We are bound together and share the world’s oceans, air, biodiversity, fuel supply, and food. That is why harmony is essential. In today’s interconnected world, we need to jointly explore a global ethical framework,” he said.
He believes that “benevolence” advocated by Confucius will become the core of the new global ethical framework, which will be the direction of cooperation and effort for philosophers, educators, and thinkers around the world.
Zhang Qicheng, professor of the School of Medical Classics Studies at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine elaborated on the basic spirit of traditional Chinese culture and its alignment with common values of all humanity.
He believes that Chinese culture integrates the essence of Confucianism, Zen, Yi studies, Taoism, medicine, and national arts. Among these, the “I Ching” book is thought to be the ultimate source of Chinese culture. “This reflects that the basic spirit of Chinese culture is ‘harmonious balance’, a concept of yin and yang harmony, which highly aligns with the common values of humanity such as peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom,” Zhang said.
“The ultimate goal of Confucian concepts can be summarized in ‘Harmony between heaven and human,'” said Choi Young-gap, chairman of Sungkyunkwan Confucian Association, during his speech.
He said from a Confucian perspective, nature and humanity share the same origin; they are not in a confrontational relationship but rather an organic one, with human beings as a part of nature.
“Confucianism emphasizes ‘putting people first,’ but this does not mean that everything must obey humans. Instead, it is a love that starts with those close to us and extends outward, emphasizing differentiated love,” he said.
The 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations is themed “Traditional Culture and Modern Civilization”. Since its launch in 2010, the forum aims to promote shared values of traditional Chinese culture, including the Confucian concepts and mutual learning among civilizations.

China’s Leading Wine Producing Region to Host International Wine Expo in August

YINCHUAN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 July 2024 – International experts and enterprises involved in the wine industry are set to gather in northwest China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China’s leading wine-producing area, for an expo in August.

The Fourth China (Ningxia) International Wine Culture and Tourism Expo will be hosted by the regional government from Aug. 9 to 11 in Yinchuan, Ningxia’s capital, according to the organizer on Thursday.
The expo, with the theme “Chinese wine, A Marvel to the World — Good Wine Originates from Unique Terroir,” will invite experts and enterprises in the wine-making industry from both home and abroad, as well as officials and representatives of embassies, ministries and international organizations.
More than 60 wineries and exhibitors from countries including France, Australia, Italy, Spain and Chile will attend the three-day expo, which will feature a wine carnival, competitions and other events.
Huang Siming, director of the management committee of a wine industrial park at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, told Xinhua that Ningxia has since 2012 hosted nine editions of the International Wine Expo at Helan Mountains’ Eastern Foot and three editions of the International Wine Culture and Tourism Expo.
“The upgrade of the wine expo makes a bigger circle of friends for Ningxia, and helps the region expand its market, share the opportunities and achieve win-win deals with friends through cooperation,” said Huang.
Ningxia boasts a unique terroir for making top-class wine, with its prolonged sunshine and a cool, dry climate aiding the cultivation of grapes.

After more than 40 years of development, Ningxia has emerged as China’s largest wine-producing region. It boasts 602,000 mu (about 40,133 hectares) of grape plantations and 253 wineries and grape-growing enterprises that produced 140 million bottles of wine in 2023.
