The "Guan Gong Cultural Forum" has a clear theme and rich content, and not only invited experts and scholars at home and abroad, but also invited relevant representatives to participate in the forum. Through in-depth academic discussions and cultural exchanges, the important role of the "Guan Gong Forum" in promoting dialogue and cooperation and building ideological consensus has been fully utilized. The holding of the forum has further strengthened our cultural self-confidence, disseminated Chinese culture, and laid a more solid foundation for national construction.
"Global Communication Ambassador of Chinese Guan Gong Culture" and the Global Federation of Chinese Guan Gong Culture; The unveiling ceremony of the "China Guan Gong Culture Global News Network"; The signing ceremony of the strategic cooperation between the global communication of Chinese Guan Gong culture; Speaker of the Chinese Guan Gong Culture Global Communication Forum, Executive Chairman of the Straits Welfare Committee and Vice President of Taiwan China News Liu Weiling expressed what kind of spirit the spirit of Guan Gong is! He said that the spirit of Guan Gong is loyalty, faithfulness, benevolence, and bravery. The spirit of loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and courage represented by Guan Yu is a moral idol chosen by the Chinese people and their own personality pursuit in the long historical process of thousands of years of feudal society, after the long-term cultivation of Confucianism. This moral idol and personality pursuit will also affect people's thinking and life for a long time, and will also be the core value of people's folk ideology.
In the process of holding the forum, we not only saw the inheritance and development of Guan Gong culture, but also saw the deep feelings for the country and the nation. Through this forum, we have strengthened our cultural self-confidence and understood the importance of inheriting and carrying forward the excellent Chinese culture.
In the future, we hope that more cultural exchange activities can become a bridge between China and the rest of the world, and an important platform for disseminating Chinese culture, just like the "Guan Gong Cultural Forum". We believe that with the joint efforts of all of us, Chinese culture will be able to go to the world and become an important part of human civilization.
In short, the successful holding of the "2024 China Guan Gong Culture Communication Forum" is not only the promotion of Guan Gong culture, but also the inheritance and promotion of Chinese culture. Let us work together to inherit and carry forward the excellent Chinese culture!
