Stepping into the second five years of the new century, we may recall the complicated veins when we were facing the future at the end of last century. There is a conclusion drawn by a Nobel Prize winner: if mankind is to survive it must go back 25 centuries in time to tap the wisdom of Confucius. First, the world, after the modern times of twists and turns, fixes its eyes on Confucius. The devel- opment of Chinese academic culture and Chinese scholars’ positive acquaintanceship with Confucius and traditional culture engender the world-wide attention upon Confucius and Chinese culture. Second, facing the social problems, the world expects wisdom of Confucius. Dr. Hanes Aleven, a Swede physical scientist, has put forward the idea that mankind has to “tap the wisdom of Confucius” to survive in the new century. Third, as an emblem of Chinese culture, Confucius promotes the commu- nication between China and foreign countries. Zhou Ji, minister of China Ministry of Education, said, “The Confucius Institute has been internationally consented, being regarded as a place to learn Chinese, and a window to closely understand information of current Chinese, and a platform to communicate and cooperate with China on education, culture, economy and commerce.” Fourth, Confucius unites Chinese people as a vein of Chinese culture. Many overseas schools and education organizations have requested long-term cooperation and communication with School of Confucius’s Culture of Qufu Normal University, so that Chinese traditional culture symbolized by Confucius will be handed down, and the Chinese nation will spring up again in the east of the world with a brand new look.
