Renowned sinologists, leading overseas experts in Zhu Xi's doctrine, and representatives from friendly institutions, hailing from over 50 countries and regions, will attend and address the gathering. By the Song and Ming dynasties, Zhu Xi's thought had already spread to Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and beyond -- serving as a vital bridge between Chinese and global civilizations. The province has hosted five sessions of events including the Cross-Strait Academy Forum and the Retracing Zhu Xi's Footsteps. Additionally, 18 consecutive "Zhu Xi's Path" study tours have attracted nearly 30,000 scholars, descendants of Zhu Xi, teachers, and students from nearly 30 countries.
