ICA-Supported Wenzhou Hehe Academy
Wenzhou in southeast Zhejiang Province is known as a hometown of overseas Chinese. It is therefore an important base for carrying forward the cream of traditional Chinese culture. Nan Huaijin (1918-2012), an important figure in this regard, was born in Leqing County, Wenzhou. Zhang Liwen (b. 1935), the founder of Hehe Culture Studies, was born in Longwan District, Wenzhou. He has devoted himself to the study and elucidation of Hehe Culture. On September 26, 2021, Liu Yandong, president of the International Confucian Association (ICA), inspected the Nanhuaijin Academy in Wenzhou and attended the inauguration ceremony of the Hehe Academy.
As a famous historic and cultural city, the birthplace of the Yongjia School of Thought, and a well-known hometown of overseas Chinese, Wenzhou truly has cultural, economic and social advantages. The ICA, as a federation of Confucian scholars and groups from various countries and regions, plays an important role in facilitating mutual learning among Confucian culture, Asian civilizations, and other cultures and civilizations in the world, and promoting world peace and development. The Hehe Academy jointly built by Wenzhou and the ICA will help advance the exploration, transmission, and promotion of the modern values of Confucian culture and the essence of the Hehe philosophy. The project will also promote the creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional Chinese Culture, and facilitate the exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and other civilizations.
