The 2022 China (Qufu) International Confucius Culture Festival and the 8th Nishan World Civilization Forum – Nishan Cultural Relics Forum was held in Qufu, Shandong on September 26. Experts and scholars from organizations and universities such as the China Confucian Temple Protection Association and Capital Normal University gathered in Confucius’ hometown to explore the protection and utilization of Confucian cultural heritage. The advantages of platforms such as the Mountain Forum can better disseminate the Chinese cultural spirit, cultural aspirations, and cultural confidence contained in cultural relics, promote the protection and utilization of cultural relics, empower public cultural services, serve the construction of spiritual civilization, and enhance economic and social development. The ideas and measures for the protection and utilization of family cultural heritage will play a greater role in spreading Confucianism and promoting Confucian culture. I hope that all experts can leverage their expertise, engage in in-depth exchanges, actively share research results and successful experiences, and provide useful references for the protection and utilization of Confucian cultural heritage. I hope that the cultural relics department in Shandong Province can seize this valuable learning opportunity, fully learn from useful experiences, and strive to improve the level of protection and utilization of Confucian cultural heritage in Shandong Province, promoting the cultural relics industry in Shandong to a new level
