The forum has fully highlighted the thoughts and ideas of Confucianism, such as advocating benevolence, beholding people-oriented values, observing good faith and trustworthiness, respecting justice, worshiping harmony and cooperation, and pursuing universal good. It has become an important platform for Chinese culture to go global.
