Themed "Common Values and a Community with a Shared Future for All Mankind - Strengthen Exchanges and Mutual Learning among Civilizations to Address Global Challenges", the Ninth Nishan Forum on World Civilizations opened on September 27. Chen Lai, Dean of the Tsinghua Academy of Chinese Learning, Vice President of the International Confucian Federation, and Director of the Academic Committee of the Nishan Forum on World Civilizations, said in his keynote speech that the basic idea put forward by Chinese civilization and the value principles proposed by Confucian culture express the moral basis of common values of humanity. "Benevolence is the characteristic element of humanity" is an important topic in ancient Confucianism, which means different things at different times in history. Today, in the face of the reflection on common values of humanity, we can give an interpretation of our era to "Benevolence is the characteristic element of humanity", that is, "benevolence is the most fundamental common value of humanity" or "benevolence is the most fundamental principle of common values of humanity".
