Jining, the cradle of Confucianism, has been working on promoting Nishan Forum on World Civilizations and China International Confucius Cultural Festival to spiritually connect the world beyond boundaries, with the essence of traditional Chinese culture.

　　The Eleventh Nishan Forum on World Civilizations, under the main theme of "Beauty in Diversity: Nurturing Understanding Among Civilizations for Global Modernization", extends the idea of "harmony" to frontier fields such as modern economy and ecological governance by inviting more than 560 guests from over 70 countries and regions to share their insights on AI ethics, global governance and among others.

　　China International Confucius Cultural Festival, a success with a history of 42 consecutive years, has become a cultural event that well balances academic value and public participation. During 2025 China International Confucius Cultural Festival, the "Online Memorial to Confucius" attracted more than 60 Confucian Temples all over the world. With more than 35 million viewers on the new media, it spread the Confucian idea of "education for all without discrimination" to the world.

　　Supported by the policies, Jining has built Nishan Joint Graduate School for Fine Traditional Chinese Culture with 16 top universities, including Tsinghua University and Peking University, which has trained over 2,500 talented professionals in traditional culture and made Nishan a "Temple of philosophy" for global Confucianism study.

　　At the same time, Jining is expanding its "circle" all over the world. By opening 5 "Corner of Chinese Culture · Nishan Libraries" in overseas sister cities, it managed to circulate The Analects in 13 different languages and multiple translations of Interpretation of the Analects of Confucius overseas, spreading "Voice of Jining" to the world via its global media networks.
