发祥于天台山的和合文化,是中华“和”文化的重要瑰宝。面对当前百年变局与世纪疫情叠加交织的复杂局面,世界期待不同思想交流碰撞、不同文明包容互鉴。倡导和平、和睦、和谐的“和”文化,就是中国向世界贡献的礼物,将为完善全球治理、解决人类共同挑战带来有益启示。面向未来,一是要坚持和而不同,倡导真正的多边主义;二是要坚持合作共赢,构建开放型世界经济;三是要坚持人文主义,弘扬全人类共同价值。
——中国外文局局长杜占元
和合文化是历史的,也是当代的;是中国的,也是世界的。作为和合文化的主要发源地,浙江有责任倡导和而不同、美美与共的价值理念,积极探索解决人类社会面临的共同问题。我们要从和合文化中去寻找解决人类共同问题的方案,引导国际社会走出对立分歧,走出经济危机,走出价值观冲突,积极推动和合理念成为应对全球性问题的广泛共识,为共同构建人类命运共同体作出积极贡献。
——浙江省政协副主席吴晶
外交的本质在于寻求与具有不同价值观和思维方式的国家、人民和平相处,其中重要的是友爱精神。“和合”与“友爱”的共通之处在于和谐与合作。放眼当前的国际关系,各国意见不同是客观事实。和合外交意味着,双方即使观点不同也不能全盘否定对方,而是必须努力与对方和解,这样才能建立双赢的局面。
——日本前首相、东亚共同体研究所理事长鸠山由纪夫
进入后疫情时代,推动世界实现可持续、公平的复苏是共同的目标,而和谐与合作可以达成这一点。加强全球合作、促进和平与安全、公平地再全球化、促进性别平等、可持续地重建、深化公私合作、提高全球复原力等七条原则,对于达成共同构建人类命运共同体的全球共识具有重要意义。
——马耳他共和国驻上海总领事韩弥敦
台州是和合文化的标志地、实践地和传播地,在和合文化的历史积淀中有着重要地位。面向现代化建设和共同富裕先行的新征程,我们将加强弘扬和传播和合文化,推动和合文化走出台州、走出国门、走向世界,为消弭文明分歧、建设大同世界提供跨越族群、润物无声的力量。
——中共台州市委书记李跃旗
本届论坛对于充分挖掘展示中华和合文化之精髓,倡导和平发展、合作共赢理念,促进全球人类文化进步,共建利己达人、和合共生的美丽世界具有重要价值。和合文化既能够让世界各国认同中华文化,又能够帮助世界各国解决具有共同性的人类问题。面临百年未有之大变局,我们也深刻认识到,和合虽好,但不会从天而降,和合共生需要世界各国相向而行,有时甚至需要通过斗争来实现,通过斗争赢得尊重、求得发展。中国将矢志不渝为实现真民主、真和平而不懈奋斗。
——中国外文局副局长陆彩荣
和合文化对增进不同国家、种族、宗教、文明之间的交流对话,促进世界和平发展有着重要的理论价值和现实意义。
——联合国前副秘书长金垣洙
无论身处哪一国度,人类都只有一个地球,共处一个世界。同而不同,不同而同,“和合”是人类发展的大趋势,和合文化将越来越被认可。芭蕾艺术起源于芭蕾,活跃于世界各个舞台,百家争鸣,多彩多姿,携手共进。60年来,中国芭蕾从姗姗学步到自信起舞,通过了解芭蕾艺术,可以了解中国艺术、中国文化的精髓,和合文化的内涵。
——中央芭蕾舞团团长冯英
天人合一的宇宙观是以人与自然和谐相处为目标,协和万邦的国际观是推动人类命运共同体的构建,和而不同的社会观是要求交往应保持一种和谐友善的关系。和合文化蕴含着天人合一的世界观,世界必然需要这种和而不同的理念。我有几件表达“和合”的雕塑作品:《神遇——孔子与苏格拉底的对话》,二人分立东西,跨越时空国界进行交流;《超越时空的对话——达芬奇与齐白石》,这是艺术的伟大对话。人类因“和”而发展,和合文化,将引领人类共筑美好世界。
——中国美术馆馆长吴为山
和合文化是中华文化高贵而华丽的基因,具有深远的世界影响,而天台则是和合文化得天独厚的传承平台。和合文化本身就是中华文化的精髓,讲好和合文化的故事,最重要的一点就是把和合文化落实到这座城市、这片土地和我们这个时代的日常生活中。在疫情肆虐的当下,各国更要有一种和合的胸怀,把地球看作一个共同的家园。和合文化绝不限于这一片土地,是整个人类共同的財富,是应该共同加以珍惜的文化遗产。要把中国文化的重要概念与故事,用世界其他民族的通用语言介绍出去。
——复旦大学历史系教授钱文忠
人类命运共同体是真善美的艺术世界,体现着中国和合精神价值理想对未来的期望。人类向何处去?未来走什么样的路?和合文化是指引航向的一种价值理念。我们弘扬“尚和合”的思想,为“天下和合”奠定坚实的基础。
——中国人民大学哲学系教授、和合文化研究所所长张立文
天台将致力于“和合文化”的活态传承、“和合基地”的品牌塑造、“和合开放”的共荣共兴以及“和合善治”的生动实践。
——天台县委书记杨玲玲
和合文化是我珍视的一种理念。虽然别人说我是个西方人,但我在为人处世方面已经有很多中国文化的痕迹。以和为贵,和合文化代表了我喜欢的中国文化,其中不光有历史基因,还有文学和哲学韵味。现在全球面临很多挑战,需要我们齐心协力应对,和合文化就是一种特别正确向上的价值观。

What They Say about the Hehe Culture
Compiled by Xiao Yanyan
Hehe culture, which originated in the Tiantai Mountains in Taizhou, is an important treasure of the Chinese “He” (harmony) culture. In light of the major changes unfolding in the world and the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world looks forward to the exchange of different ideas and the inclusiveness of different civilizations. The “He” culture, which calls for peace, amity and harmony is China’s gift to the world. It will bring inspiration to improving global governance and addressing the common challenges of mankind. Looking into the future, we need to uphold the concept of “harmony without uniformity” and advocate genuine multilateralism. Second, we need to pursue win-win cooperation and build an open world economy. Third, we should uphold humanism and promote the common values of mankind.
——Du Zhanyuan, President of China International Communication Group (CICG)
The Hehe culture is both historical and contemporary, and it belongs to both China and the world. As a major cradle of the Hehe culture, Zhejiang has the responsibility to advocate the ideas of “harmony without uniformity” and “respecting and cherishing the beauty of different cultures”, and actively explore solutions to the common problems faced by mankind. We should draw on the Hehe culture for answers, guide the international community out of confrontation and division, out of economic crisis and out of conflict of values, and make the concept of Hehe a broad consensus in addressing global issues, in order to contribute to the establishment of a community with a shared future for mankind.
——Wu Jing, Vice Chairperson of the CPPCC Zhejiang Provincial Committee
The essence of diplomacy lies in seeking peaceful coexistence with countries and peoples with different values and ways of thinking. What “Hehe” (harmony) and “Yuai”(fraternity) have in common is harmony and cooperation. Looking at today’s international relations, it is a fact that countries differ in their views. Hehe diplomacy means that both sides should not completely reject each other when they have different views. Instead, they should try to compromise with each other so as to create a win-win situation.
——Yukio Hatoyama, Former Prime Minister of Japan and Chairman of the East Asian Community Institute
In the post-COVID-19 era, it is our common goal to promote a sustainable and equitable recovery in the world, which can be achieved through harmony and cooperation. The seven guiding principles, namely strengthening global cooperation, advancing peace and security, re-globalizing equitably, promoting gender equality, rebuilding sustainably, deepening public-private partnerships and increasing global resilience, are of great significance for reaching a global consensus on jointly building a community with a shared future for mankind.
——Bernard Hamilton, Consul General of the Republic of Malta in Shanghai
Taizhou is the place where the Hehe culture was born, where it has been widely practiced and from where it is disseminated, and Taizhou occupies an important position in the historical accumulation of the Hehe culture. Along the new journey of modernization and common prosperity, we will strengthen the fostering and dissemination of the Hehe culture, so that the Hehe culture can travel outside of Taizhou, outside of China and all over the world, and provide a cross-racial solution to the elimination of differences among civilizations and to the building of a harmonious world.
——Li Yueqi, Secretary of CPC Taizhou Municipal Committee
This forum is of great value to fully tap into and showcase the essence of the Chinese culture of Hehe, to advocate peaceful development and win-win cooperation, to promote the progress of culture across the globe, and to build a beautiful world where everyone coexists in peace and harmony. The Hehe culture not only enables countries around the world to identify with the Chinese culture, but also helps countries around the world to solve common problems. In the face of major changes unseen in a century, we are also keenly aware that Hehe, though good, cannot be taken for granted. Coexistence requires all countries to meet each other halfway, and sometimes even struggle is needed to win respect and development. China will unswervingly strive for true democracy and peace.
——Lu Cairong, Vice President of China International Communication Group (CICG)
The Hehe culture will be of both important theoretical and practical value in enhancing exchanges between different countries, races, religions and civilizations, and in promoting the world’s peaceful development.
——Kim Won-soo, Former Under-Secretary-General of UN
No matter which country we live in, there is only one earth and one world for mankind. We are the same, yet different; we are different, yet still the same. "Hehe" is the general trend of human development, and the Hehe culture will be increasingly recognized. Ballet is a performance dance that is now popular now all over the world, featuring a wide range of styles. Starting from scratch, Chinese ballet is now confidently dancing on the international stage after 60 years of development. By understanding the art of ballet, we can understand the essence of the Chinese art and Chinese culture, as well as the significance of the Hehe culture.
——Feng Ying, Director of National Ballet of China
The “heaven and man united as one” cosmic conception seeks harmony between man and nature and the international outlook of “harmony among all nations” seeks to promote the establishment of a community with a shared future for mankind, and the social view of “harmony without uniformity” requires that exchanges should be conducted harmoniously and in a friendly manner. The Hehe culture contains the idea of "heaven and man united as one”, and the world needs the idea of “harmony without uniformity”. Two of my sculptures illustrate the idea of Hehe the best: Confucius and Socrates: An Encounter is a dialogue across time and space and A Dialogue Across the Time: Da Vinci and Qi Baishi is a dialogue between two great artists. Mankind makes progress thanks to “He” (harmony), and the Hehe culture will lead mankind to a better world.
——Wu Weishan, Director of the National Art Museum of China
The Hehe culture is the noble and magnificent “gene” of the Chinese culture, which has far-reaching influence on the world, and Tiantai is the unique “platform” for the inheritance of the Hehe culture, the essence of the Chinese culture. The most important thing about the Hehe culture is that it should reflect the common feelings of the people and their daily lives. At a time when the epidemic is raging, it is all the more important for countries to have a harmonious mindset and see the earth as a common home. The Hehe culture is by no means limited to this piece of land. It is the common wealth of the whole mankind and should be cherished as a cultural heritage. Important concepts and stories of the Chinese culture should be introduced in other languages around the world.
——Qian Wenzhong, Professor at Department of History, Fudan University
A community with a shared future for mankind is a world of truth, goodness and beauty, which embodies visions of the Hehe culture for the future. The Hehe culture is a value system that guides the directions of mankind. We should foster the idea of “Hehe” and lay a solid foundation for “Hehe under heaven”.
——Zhang Liwen, Professor at Department of Philosophy and Director of the Institute of Hehe Culture, Renmin University of China
Taitai county is committed to the inheritance of the Hehe culture, the brand building of the “Hehe Culture Base”, the flourishing of “Hehe and openness” and the true stories and practice of “good governance under Hehe”.
——Yang Lingling, Secretary of CPC Tiantai County Committee
The Hehe culture is something that I treasure. Although people say I am from the West, I’ve already been long immersed in the Chinese culture and following the Chinese way in conducting my everyday life. Harmony is what is most prized, which is the core of Hehe culture, an embodiment of the Chinese culture I like. In Hehe culture, there is not only history, but also literary and philosophical charm. Today, the world faces many challenges that call for concerted efforts, and the Hehe culture is one of the answers to these problems.
