Community Activity Proposal: Confucius or Confused(ion)

This year, the theme of the Taiwan Bookstore for the Canada Taiwan Cultural Festival is "Confucius or Confused(ion)". The country of dialogue is South Korea, and the wonderful program is being planned. Share a passage from the art policy:

Confucius or Confused(ion) Art Policy

"While the lord plays a very important role in shaping the social face of Taiwan and South Korea today, it is not the norm in most Asian countries. Without freedom of self-expression, political influence often determines how Asian cultures are perceived and appreciated. .In Taiwan and South Korea, the domination liberates people's creativity and creates a new phenomenon of art that has never been seen in Asia. What makes Taiwan and South Korea different from the rest of Asia? Is such an evolution affected by Western consciousness The impact of form? How do Asian and Western values differ? Taiwan and South Korea have many stories of struggles to break free from traditional baggage, as well as many artistic expressions based on the chaos created by conflicting ideologies, both of which The phenomenon is very rare in Asia or anywhere in the world."

Even though they have lived overseas for a long time, many immigrants still retain traditional values based on Confucianism. The conflict between the old immigrants and their children is often the result of the conflict between the moral standards and achievement expectations based on traditional values, and the nature of human nature and internal psychological needs.

When discussing issues such as democracy and freedom, those who believe in fathers and sons of monarchs and ministers, and that authoritarian rule is more efficient, even put forward the demands of "democracy is not suitable for China" and "developing democracy with "Chinese characteristics", and pinned their hopes on a benevolent monarch. Although Taiwan has entered into democracy, the lingering power of Confucianism is still displayed everywhere among family members, in the culture of institutions and companies, and in the way men and women get along.

The Analects, how many people have really read it seriously? Do we have stereotypes about Confucianism?

If Confucius was reborn through time and space and came to the Confucius Institute, would he be willing to be the mascot of the Kanban board, and then happily travel around the world and visit branch campuses? Or are you outraged and suing the Confucius Institute for infringement? What opinion will he have on the teaching materials of the Confucius Institute? What advice would he give to leaders? With such advanced technology, will Confucius set up a website to open podcasts or go on Youtube and become a generation of Internet celebrities?

Do you feel the shackles brought by Confucianism in your life and career? Or do you still feel that the world is too chaotic, and you need to draw on the essence of Confucianism to rebuild a world of great harmony, where "the old can endure, the strong can be useful, the young can grow, and the widow, loneliness, and sickness can all be supported."
