In the 21st century, ask for wisdom from Confucius

"Guangming Daily" reported on September 30, 2004 that Mr. Xu Yuanchong, a professor at Peking University, said that 75 Nobel Prize winners around the world In 1988, they met in Paris to discuss the future of the world in the new century. They came to the unanimous conclusion that if humans want to live a peaceful and happy life in the 21st century, they should go back to Confucius in China 2,500 years ago to find wisdom. He said that many people believe that Western culture is now a strong culture, while Eastern culture is a weak culture. Mr. Xu, however, believes that this is not necessarily the case. The world situation is waxing and waning and advancing in waves. We were once advanced and then fell behind. If we see the situation clearly, learn from each other's strengths, and develop our advantages, we may become advanced again and become a strong culture in the future. For example, Western culture has the characteristics of "valuing profit over righteousness", "promoting violence" and "overflowing with pornography". However, we do the opposite, "replacing righteousness with profit", "replacing peace with violence" and "replenishing sex with emotion". ". Educators should see the situation clearly, promote the ideas of Chinese culture in their teaching, and contribute to world stability and peace.
