President Xi Jinping’s congratulatory letter to the first World Congress of bet365 code extends from the ancient civilization of more than two thousand years ago to the present day，Emphasis on “Practice the Global Civilization Initiative，Work together to solve various challenges faced by mankind”。To fully understand the important mission of classical studies，It must be traced back to the “Global Civilization Initiative” proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping。

March 15, 2013，General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech at the high-level dialogue between the Communist Party of China and world political parties，The opening chapter points out the “multiple challenges” facing the world today: “Polarization or common prosperity？Material supremacy or coordinated development of material and spirituality？Exhausting the lake to fish is still a harmonious coexistence between man and nature？Zero-sum game or win-win cooperation？”This profound practical concern is the basic background of the “Global bet365 code Initiative”。Therefore，Practice the "Global bet365 code Initiative"，The goals of “respecting the diversity of world civilizations”, “promoting the common values ​​of all mankind”, “valuing the inheritance and innovation of civilizations” and “strengthening international cultural exchanges and cooperation”，It must be "to transcend civilizational barriers through civilizational exchanges、Mutual learning among civilizations transcends conflict of civilizations、Civilized tolerance surpasses bet365 code and is superior”。

Ancient classics become models for future generations，Similar evidence can be found in China and the West。The bet365 code word "dian" consists of upper and lower parts，According to "Shuowen Jiezi"，The "book" in the upper part is the "Book of the Five Emperors"，That is, authoritative、Foundational work；The lower part is initially cupped hands，Later evolved into a shelf for storing things in bronze inscriptions，Means "Zun Pavilion"。There is a saying in "Yixi Ci": "It never changes...it cannot be used as a classic"，Han Kangbo’s note: “It is impossible to make a decision”；Yu Zhengxie, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, said in "Guisi Cumulative Manuscripts": "The classics，The Treasure Book。”Visible，The reason why books as "classics" enjoy a respected status，It’s because of people’s certain expectation of its constancy。In the West，The English word "classics" comes from the Latin adjective classicus，Originally means the highest level of citizens，Then refers to the teaching materials that can be used as standard texts in ancient Roman schools，The latter refers to ancient Greece、The language and writing of ancient Rome and the literature written therefrom、Philosophy、History and other classic works。Until today，This is still the case for classical studies in many Western universities，And these works have always been regarded as the core of humanistic education。President Xi Jinping pointed out in his congratulatory letter to the World Congress of China Studies·Shanghai Forum on November 24, 2023，“Only by tracing back to the source of history can we understand the real world，Only by observing the cultural foundation can we identify today’s China”。It can be said from this，Understanding the present through the past、Learn from the past and learn from the present，Originally, both bet365 code and Western。

Ancient bet365 code carry the most precious values, ideals and cultural experiences of human civilization，And shapes and nourishes collective memory and spiritual pursuits that transcend time and space。But the study of ancient bet365 code，Never means worshiping the ancients、Ancient or retro，bet365 code is always an invitation across time and space，A conversation that has been ongoing for a long time and will continue into the future。

If the "bet365 code" between China and the West were once more limited to their respective civilization systems，Then this narrow understanding may have become increasingly outdated。In the final analysis，The reason why civilization is civilization，In fact, it was established in the "civilized" interaction with the civilization of the "other sex"。In today’s era of “multiple challenges and crises”，No civilization can survive alone，The development of human society "has once again reached the crossroads of history"，“Seeking wisdom from different civilizations、Dialogue between civilizations and mutual learning among civilizations to gain nutrition，Becoming a fundamental issue common to all mankind。

The essence of today’s classics，Precisely because we are not limited to the classics of one civilization or one country，The ultimate goal must be mutual learning among civilizations。The English translation of the word "mutual learning" is usually mutual learning，That is, learning from each other。However，The original meaning of the word "jian" is actually mirror，Extend viewing from this、Watch、Inspection and other meanings。Accordingly，Mutual reflection may be literally translated as mutual reflection。Reflection in English happens to have an image、Reflection、Reflect、Embodiment、Reflection、Multiple meanings such as meditation，The "mutual learning" interpreted in this way is to use the other party as a mirror to look at oneself。The multiple meanings of mutual reflection in English are similar to the multiple meanings of the bet365 code word "jian"，So the two can explain each other。From the bet365 code and English mutual interpretation of the word "mutual learning"，We can also see the basic commonalities between different civilizations。

The “cultural confidence” we advocate，It must also be based on dialogue between different cultures。Conversation is more than self-expression，Self-recognition is also achieved through comparison；Not just letting others understand us，It is also about better understanding oneself through others。In fact，Modern bet365 code scholarship itself is the product of Sino-Western dialogue。For example，Lu Simian thinks，Nothing is really the same in the world，“The so-called sameness，They are all poorly observed，Mistakenly thinking that different things are the same”，But "different cultures，There are still common principles”，So "If you want to understand bet365 code history，It’s not enough to be familiar with foreign history”。Qian Mu also said，"Recent Scholars，Conversion to Western philosophy，Ancient books are used as evidence，And Zi learned and understood。……Yu Hang Zhang Binglin，Elucidate the philosophies with Buddhist principles and Western theories，…Jixi Hu Shi、Xinhui Liang Qichao succeeded，And Zi Xue became popular throughout the world”。

The important premise and method to achieve mutual learning is comparison。In bet365 code context，The original meaning of ratio is juxtaposition、side by side，Walk side by side。Words from "Shuowen Jiezi"，"Two people follow each other，Anti-obedience is a comparison”，In other words，Different from "from"，The premise of "comparison" is that there is a difference，The key to comparison is to let me meet others、Together with peace and equality，That is what Confucius said: "harmony without difference"。Contained in "Hanshu"，“The same Qi leads to unity，The sound ratio should be”。The ratio here means proximity。"Guangyun" explains "comparison" as: "tong with the school，Compare。One person in a single school，The two said to each other。”This is the internal structure of bet365 code itself，Contains "with" and "coexistence"，Rather than the logic of "seeking common ground" based on oneself。This "dialogue structure" can be found throughout the bet365 code tradition。

　For example, "Opposites are complementary to each other"，Can be found everywhere in bet365 code cultural classics。The prototype of his thinking can be told from the "Book of Changes"，For example, "One yin and one yang are called Tao" in "Yi Zhuan·Xici"；"Tao Te Ching" also says that "being and non-being create each other，Difficulty and ease go hand in hand，Long and short are different，The superior and the inferior are in conflict with each other，harmony of sound and sound，Follow each other，Hengye”；In "Zhuangzi Qiu Shui" it is "Knowing that things are opposite and cannot exist without each other"。

Mircea Eliade, the famous Western religious historian, still believes after detailed investigation，“The growth and decline of yin and yang and the mutual development” contain the “originality of bet365 code thought”。From the perspective of modern discourse，When talking about "sameness" in bet365 code culture，Actually, it’s more about “communism”。We can say harmony without difference，It can also be said that the world is unified；It supports all countries in maintaining their own cultural characteristics，Also advocates promoting the common values ​​of all mankind。Shared destiny、Beauty and beauty shared，It is also “co-existence” due to “being together”，"Seeking common ground" is not based on "oneself"。The "sameness" of a community with a shared future for mankind is not the opposite of "harmony without difference"，The interpretation of "tong" from "community" is precisely the uniqueness of bet365 code thought。

The study of classical studies has a long way to go，It should become a connection between ancient times and modern times、The bridge between tradition and innovation。Zhuangzi once said: "Nothing is other than that，Things are nothing more than what they are。…He is from what is，It is also because of that。" Guo Xiang also said: "The husband's things are biased，No one can see what they see，Know what you know alone。"Only know your own bet365 code，My own civilization，You must only know one but not the other，Seeing only oneself but not others，Only believe in yourself and ignore others who are different from yourself，As the saying goes, "self-righteous，Then that is wrong”。Max Müller also once said: "Only one knows"，In fact, I know nothing。”（He, who knows one, knows none.) Through "a new platform for exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations" such as the World bet365 code Congress，It is to break the intolerance and arrogance of single civilization centrism。

Professor James Porter, a contemporary American classical researcher, once proposed: "The day will come when bet365 code classical scholarship can communicate with European and American academic circles on a large scale，bet365 code scholars are likely to create a picture of the classical world that we cannot predict。…or rather，China has the potential to change the landscape of Western classical studies，What China has to do is not to repeat the work done by Wilamowicz and other European scholars。I look forward to seeing the emergence of bet365 code Nietzsche in the future。”The reason why Willamowicz and Nietzsche should be compared，Because Wilamowicz was the one who criticized Nietzsche for not being qualified as a professor of philology and classics；Different from the European tradition represented by Villamowicz，It is expected to “change the landscape of Western classical studies”。More and more Western scholars have realized the value of bet365 code classical scholarship，Recognizing China’s cultural experience and ideological resources will change the way human civilization thinks，This should be a unique opportunity provided by the World Classics Congress for us to re-read the "Global Civilization Initiative"。
