Date:2023-09-28Nishan World Confucianism Summit Forum took place in Qufu, Jining on September 26. During the forum, Thock Kiah Wah, former President of Southern University College, gave an interview to the media. He talked about why Confucian culture has been passed down for so many years and still has so many inheritors. He believes that this is because Confucius was speaking to the world rather than just the Chinese people. Confucianism is not just about personal moral values, it has a profound connection with society and nature. Therefore, Confucian ethics can have a significant impact on the relationships between individuals and society, the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and even international relations, and it can even serve as a guide to the future of human civilization. In addition to personal moral values, Confucius also advocated that "All men under heaven are brothers", reflecting the idea that "the whole world is one family. This is also an essential principle for today's era of globalization.
