What role did the Confucius Institute in the world play?

With the advent of the international era, a country's strength is not only reflected in the economy, but also cultural factors will play an increasingly important role in the social development process in the 21st century. The influence and dissemination of cultural soft power is an indispensable stage for a country to become a powerful country. In the process of going global and connecting with the international community, Chinese culture will inevitably engage in dialogue and exchanges with western culture. China should catch up with the advanced world level. We must pay attention to enhancing the competitiveness and penetration of culture. China has a long history and profound traditional culture, especially Confucius and Confucianism, which has had a far-reaching impact on the descendants of the Chinese people in the long development process, and is almost synonymous with the traditional culture of the Chinese nation overseas. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the international spread of China's traditional culture represented by Confucius culture.

Dissemination through literary channels

In the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, Traditional culture is bound to play an important role in cohesion and recognition, especially the Confucian culture founded by Confucius, which has gradually accumulated into an important part of Chinese traditional culture through the elaboration and perfection of thinkers, philosophers and politicians in the past long years, and is deeply integrated into the spiritual blood of Chinese people around the world. The international spread of Confucius culture is of great value to the development of Chinese civilization.

In the west, Literature education is an indispensable part of the whole education, and literature plays an extremely important role in cultural communication. Therefore, the spread of Confucius culture needs to be carried and innovated on the carrier of literature in order to achieve results. In the context of globalization, it is becoming a reality that the so-called European cultural center is replaced by the new world cultural pattern, and globalization has greatly accelerated the arrival of the world literary era. From the perspective of national and national interests, The value of using literature for cultural quality education far exceeds that of simple language education. Since the 2th century, American literature has sprung up in the English-speaking world and quickly entered the mainstream of world literature. A large number of European theorists and thinkers have quickly become academic stars through the intermediary of the world academic center, and their theories have been accepted by literary disciplines in British and American universities, becoming classics frequently cited and discussed in various related literary research fields. It is its outstanding embodiment.

The spread of Confucius' theory to the west began more than 4 years ago when Italian missionaries translated The Analects of Confucius, which recorded Confucius' words and deeds, into Latin and brought it to Europe. Now, Confucius' theory has moved to five continents, and the complete translation of The Analects of Confucius has been found in many countries. Foreigners also read Confucius, Mencius, Laozi and Zhuangzi, and Sun Tzu's Art of War. These have become effective channels for them to understand China's classical culture. We should use China's cultural classics, such as The Analects of Confucius, as materials to compile more China literature classic story series suitable for people with different cultural backgrounds, and so on, so as to promote the spread of China's traditional culture to a wider range.

Dissemination through educational channels

In the context of globalization, the exchange and dialogue between eastern and western cultures has become the general trend, and promote the popularization of Chinese education in the world. It is a powerful guarantee for the development of China's traditional culture. The popularity of Chinese all over the world has made it increasingly inclusive and mixed while expanding its boundaries, and it has developed from a national/national language to a regional language or even a world language. Historically, Chinese has always been in a dynamic state because of the large-scale emigration of Chinese from overseas, and its boundaries are uncertain and expanding. At present, The establishment of the Chinese Internet has also played a great role in popularizing Chinese. At present, although most information on the Internet is still mainly disseminated in English, with the increasing number of Chinese websites and the increasing number of writers in Chinese, the percentage of information disseminated in Chinese is gradually increasing. Globalization has broken the inherent national boundaries and expanded the language boundaries. In the future, a new world cultural pattern will gradually take shape: it is not a unilateral English culture, but a multilingual culture. In this new pattern of multicultural existence, Chinese culture and Chinese writing will show more and more important status and influence.

The Confucius Institute, which has appeared all over the world since 24, is an important measure for China's cultural spread and internationalization. By the end of 29, China has established 282 Confucius Institutes and 274 Confucius Classrooms in 88 countries, and 26 institutions in more than 5 countries have applied for opening them. The rise of Confucius Institutes is an effective way to spread China's traditional culture internationally. As a platform for international Chinese promotion and China's cultural dissemination, Confucius Institutes spare no effort to introduce China's culture and history and transmit China's philosophy, pedagogy and ethics to all parts of the world. It has effectively promoted the exchange of diverse civilizations in the world.

Dissemination of activities

With the development of society, cultural factors are increasingly infiltrated into economic activities, and culture as a soft power plays an increasingly important role in development. As large as a country, as small as a town, as well as communities and villages, it also needs strong cultural soft power to establish a brand and enhance its comprehensive competitiveness. We must strengthen our cultural soft power on the basis of rich cultural resources, so as to seize the commanding heights of development, and we can achieve rapid development. China's social and economic development is rapid, but there is still a certain gap compared with developed countries. In order to catch up, we must fully understand our own cultural advantages and give full play to the role of cultural soft power. Combine cultural activities with economic development.

Integrating the connotation of Confucius culture into cultural festivals, reading days, film festivals and some other cultural activities will not only help to carry forward Chinese culture, but also produce great social and economic benefits. For example, Confucius Institutes in various countries have held nearly 7, cultural activities with more than 2 million participants. Hanban has also sent more than 4 teachers and students teams to cooperate with more than 27 Confucius Institutes. In traditional festivals in China, such as the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, teachers, students and citizens are organized to visit the park, watch lanterns, guess riddles and eat moon cakes. The Confucius Institute at Trier University, which is in charge of Xiamen University, has held a series of movies and seminars on "China Movie Night" with the participation of teachers, students and citizens of Trier University, which has brought the people of the two countries closer with the appeal of culture and art.

In recent five or six years, "Old China" and "Colorful China" The China Cultural Festival, with a multi-million-dollar investment and nearly 1, cast members, appeared in Washington. Apart from the 4, or 5, live audiences, millions of Americans participated in it in various ways. Cultural publicity activities such as the China-India Friendship Year, the Italian Year of China, and the Perception of China's trip to South Korea were also launched one after another, which produced good communication effects. These activities used innovative business models to cast Chinese cultural brands. It shows all aspects of China culture, which makes the excellent traditional culture of China glow with new vitality, and makes all sectors of foreign society understand, feel and love China culture, and has achieved good results.
