Wang Yue Talks | When Confucius Meets Digital Dialogue | Confucius | Wang Yue
When you encounter Confucius, what questions will you ask him?
How would you ask questions?
If Confucius had WeChat, would connecting conversations no longer be imagination?
In the hometown of Confucius - Qufu, the Confucius Museum has registered a WeChat account for Confucius and designed an interactive exhibition area called "Confucius Answering Questions" imitating the WeChat interface. Simply touch the content in the screen dialog box, click send, and you can have a conversation with Confucius "crossing time and space". In an immersive experience, listen to Confucius answering questions and solving doubts for you.
At present, the Nishan Dialogue on Digital Civilization of the World Internet Conference is being held in Qufu, Jining, Shandong. The theme of the dialogue is "the era of artificial intelligence: building a digital world of exchange, mutual learning and inclusiveness".

Here, you can experience more digital projects similar to "Master's Q&A". For example, in the waterfall wall of the Analects, Confucian classics stand out in the form of light and shadow; On the digital "Map of Confucius' Monuments", 180 classic stories about Confucius are presented through a combination of projection and scroll painting, showcasing the magnificent life of Confucius
In the digital age, there is a great emphasis on both dialogue and communication, as well as a comprehensive experience both online and offline. When digital civilization encounters Confucius, what kind of sparks will it spark?
From the perspective of the schedule, in addition to high-end dialogues and expert exchanges, the online and offline experiences are the key points that run through this event, which is also an important way to deepen dialogue and communication.
First, let's take a look at some of the experience points: holding exhibitions and performances of traditional culture of Confucius Mansion and Confucius Temple, including the opening ceremony of Confucius Temple, the opening ceremony of Confucius Temple, and the opening ceremony of households; showcasing the Eight Yi Dance in the Dacheng Hall; and singing the Analects without accompaniment in the Poetry and Ritual Hall; Set up a handmade street in the Confucius Mansion and carry out traditional cultural exhibitions such as Chinese seals, couplets, and the Six Arts.
These experiential projects not only have a strong sense of ceremony, allowing domestic and foreign guests to personally experience the profound historical and cultural heritage of Shandong, but also have a fresh and vibrant experience, which can further experience the fruitful achievements of Shandong's cultural "two creations".

Dialogue and experience are aimed at better working together, and it is precisely the emphasis in China's excellent traditional culture of "advocating harmony, seeking great harmony, harmony but differences, and harmonious coexistence". This is particularly important in the digital age, and digitalization can provide wings for spreading such ideas and concepts.
On the internet, many people ask, would Confucius become an internet celebrity if he lived in this digital age? The answer varies from person to person, but it should not be a problem for his fan base to only increase and not decrease. His offline work of running around and writing books, as well as his adherence to the principles of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, intelligence, and trustworthiness", when coupled with the "wings" of digital communication, will transcend national borders and allow more people to experience and feel the charm of excellent traditional culture.
Excellent traditional culture not only has charm, but also has the ability to heal. In the digital age, the distance between people has been brought closer, and how to coexist harmoniously is a test for us. From a practical perspective, while digitization brings many conveniences, it also brings many problems. The excellent traditional Chinese culture, represented by the words of Confucius, can precisely provide wisdom for problem-solving through time travel. This is being recognized by more and more people around the world as it becomes increasingly internationalized.
Digitalization and excellent traditional culture serve the social reality and need to adapt to new social needs. They also need to be further tested in dialogue experiences and practical life, in order to continuously optimize and achieve new innovation and creation. In this regard, the two complement each other and can go forward hand in hand. The value of the Nishan Dialogue on Digital Civilization at the World Internet Conference also depends on this.
