In the future, it is expected to build into a comprehensive academic research center integrating “The Belt and Road Classical Learning Academy”, “Shandong University - Nishan Sacredland China Management Thoughts and Practice Base”, Shandong University Internship Teaching Base, and Shandong University Graduate Joint Training Base.
Nishan is the birthplace of Confucius, the great philosopher of China, and the holy land for Confucian scholars to worship in the past dynasties. According to Records of the Historian, Confucius’ parents prayed at Niqiu and give birth to Confucius, and Nishan is thus famous. Confucius got the name Zhongni because of Nishan. Because Confucius later epitomized the Confucian school, Nishan became one of the important symbols of the source of Chinese culture, the beginning of Confucian culture and was called the “cradle of Confucianism”, well-renown as Lumbini, Jerusalem, Mecca and Athens.
In the 21st century, over 2560 years after Confucius, China has embarked on a new period of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation after several hundred years of want and weakness and the exploration of self-innovation and constant perseverance. Hence, in the context of a community of shared future and responsibility for human beings, China is taking a more and more important mission of finding out the vibrant source of Chinese cultures to awaken cultural consciousness, restore cultural confidence, and realize cultural self-improvement, becoming the strongest voice in this new era. In doing so, Nishan once again becomes the highlight of Chinese culture. (Photo and Text/Fuyao)
