The "Principles of Euclidean Geometry" published in Cologne in 1591 and the "Elements" published in Shanghai in 1858 were displayed together at the Second World Congress of Chinese Studies, as if engaging in a "dialogue of civilizations". The Second World Congress of Chinese Studies kicked off in Shanghai on the 14th, with about 500 Chinese and foreign scholars exploring the theme of "Historical China and Contemporary China from a World Perspective" and delving into "Why China. Several renowned scholars pointed out at the main forum that Chinese studies research is becoming more globalized. Faced with various challenges, the world today is more eager to understand and learn from China. However, China today has not yet been fully understood by the world. Understanding China, asking 'Dao' about China, promoting cultural exchange and mutual learning, will help humanity work together towards a better future. ——Understanding China has been popular for a period of time, and the 'China Question' has become prevalent. Why China? What are the advantages of Chinese path to modernization? Experts in Chinese studies attending the conference believe that answering the "China Question" requires tracing the historical origins, following cultural foundations, and actively cultivating Chinese studies. The globalization of Chinese studies is an inevitable trend. ”Renowned British writer and critic Martin Jacques pointed out in his speech at the conference that the Chinese studies he observed and studied are entering version 2.0. Chinese studies is no longer centered around the West. "" Countries in the global South also use China and Chinese studies narratives as benchmarks, which is completely different from some biased Western discourse. ——When the first World Forum on Chinese Studies was held in Shanghai in 2004, the vast majority of attendees were traditional international sinologists. By the time the first World Conference on Chinese Studies Shanghai Forum is held in 2023, there will have been new thinking and discourse on "using China as a method". Famous German sinologist Shi Hanwei is an old friend of the World Conference on Chinese Studies. In 2023, he proposed at the conference that Europeans should also start a new "Long March" and learn from China, just like China learns from Europe. At this conference, he once again came to the scene to truly feel the innovative development and changing trends in the field of Chinese studies research worldwide. In the "Chinese path to modernization" visit specially customized by the conference, more Chinese experts from southern countries all over the world, combined with their field visit experience, coincidentally focused on exploring the concept and method of global governance contained in the "China Plan". During a visit to Xuhui Binjiang, scholar Sayyid Hassan Javid from Pakistan said that the most impressive thing here is "everything serves the people", which is a tangible "way of governance". Argentine scholar Mahaun, on the other hand, focuses on the "commonality" between the "Chinese solution" and current Latin American industrial policies, regional integration, and technological upgrading. He believed that instead of explaining China on paper, we should understand what the Chinese people think, learn to use the internal logic of Chinese path to modernization, and provide more enlightenment for rethinking Latin America's own development path. ——At the main forum, several Chinese and foreign guests talked about "humanity standing at a new crossroads" and the international community's continued attention to the "Chinese path" and "Chinese solution" in mutual learning towards the future. Connecting ancient and modern times, Chinese studies is a knowledge oriented towards the future. ”Fan Yongpeng, Vice Dean of the Institute of Chinese Studies at Fudan University, believes that only by continuously improving the knowledge system of Chinese studies and deeply interpreting China academically can we better contribute to the world with Chinese wisdom and ideas. Li Jiya, the president of the University of Venice in Italy, said, "Reviewing the past and learning the new, people around the world are fond of reading ancient Chinese classics. The Chinese wisdom they have absorbed includes the pursuit of peace, the emphasis on the mean, and the spirit of active openness and courage to face the future." Lin Shangli believes that future oriented Chinese studies should have a "breadth that connects ancient and modern times" and a "depth that explores the connotation of Chinese road civilization and excavates the global value of Chinese road. Young Professor Konstantinos from the University of Western Macedonia in Greece said that the exchange and mutual learning of civilizations is not only an important component of globalization, but also an inexhaustible driving force for human spiritual exploration. China has a long history and a bright future. In this era, you cannot ignore coming to China
