Hehe Culture Global Forum

Hehe is part of the essence of traditional Chinese culture and an important concept that promotes world peace and development. Over the past two decades, the Taizhou municipal government has been committed to the international communication of Hehe Culture by holding an international forum on Tiantai Mountains Hehe Culture every two years.

The 2021 Hehe Culture Global Forum (HCGF) was held both online and offline in Tiantai County, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, on December 9. The theme of this forum was Hehe Culture and the Building of a Community with a Shared Future for Humanity, with three parallel sessions: Promoting Harmony and Common Prosperity to Realize Inclusive Development; Overcoming Difficulties in Solidarity for Win-Win Cooperation; Pursuing Common Development in Harmony to Build an Eco-friendly Civilization. The forum was initiated by the China International Communications Group (CICG), the Information Office of the Zhejiang Provincial People's Government and the Taizhou Municipal People's Government, and its organizers were the Academy of Contemporary China and World Studies (ACCWS), the Information Office of the Taizhou Municipal People's Government, the CICG Center for International Cultural Communication, and the Tiantai County People's Government. Around 150 guests, including Chinese and foreign political figures, foreign envoys in China, representatives of international organizations, overseas Sinologists, as well as experts and scholars of think tanks, colleges and universities, and research institutes were invited to the forum. Events in the forum included award ceremonies of "International Communications and Cooperation Base of Chinese Culture," and "International Center of Hehe Culture," the inauguration ceremony of "the Tiantai Mountains Hehe Culture Foundation," and the promotion of the multilingual book series of "Keywords to Understand China" and the research book series of "Tiantai Mountains Hehe Culture."

The HCGF is an institutionalized international conference organized as a forum. From the perspective of traditional Hehe Culture, it aims to promote the concept of "building a global community with a shared future" to become a broad consensus and global discourse for the international community to address global issues. Since 2021, it has become a permanent mechanism based on the Tiantai Mountains. This is of great significance for telling stories about Hehe Culture and promoting Chinese culture to the world.

和合文化全球論壇

和合是中華優秀傳統文化的精髓之一，是促進世界和平與發展的重要理念。近20年來，臺州市各屆政府高度重視天臺山和合文化國際傳播，每兩年舉辦一次天臺山和合文化國際論壇。

2021年12月9日，“2021和合文化全球論壇”以線上線下相結合的方式在浙江省臺州市天臺縣舉行。論壇以“和合文化與人類命運共同體”為主題，設置了“堅持和睦共榮，實現包容發展”“堅持和衷共濟，實現合作共贏”“堅持和諧共生，實現生態文明”三個分議題。論壇由中國外文局、浙江省人民政府新聞辦公室、臺州市人民政府主辦，當代中國與世界研究院、臺州市人民政府新聞辦公室、中國外文局文化傳播中心、天臺縣人民政府承辦。來自中、日、韓、法等十幾個國家的政要人士、國際組織代表、外國駐華使節、國際漢學家，以及有關智庫、高校、研究機構的專家學者等約150人參與研討。論壇期間，還同步舉辦了“中華文化國際傳播合作基地”授牌儀式、“和合文化海外驛站”授牌儀式以及“天臺山和合文化基金會”揭牌儀式，并開展了《中國關鍵詞》多文種系列圖書和“天臺山和合文化”研究叢書推廣發布活動。

“和合文化全球論壇”是以論壇為組織形式的機制化國際性會議，旨在通過結合傳統和合文化的認知視角，推動構建人類命運共同體理念成為國際社會應對全球性挑戰的廣泛共識和世界話語。從2021年開始，“和合文化全球論壇”成為一種常設的組織形式，落地天臺山，這對于講好和合文化故事，推動中華文化走向世界具有重要的意義。
