w88, located in the southwest border of China, has been a treasure land for the integration of diverse cultures since ancient times. On this land, 26 ethnic groups including Han, Yi, Bai, Dai, etc. coexist and prosper. Buddhism, Taoism, primitive beliefs and Central Plains civilization blend together, and together compose a magnificent cultural symphony.

The fourth historical stage of Confucianism entering w88

The spread of Confucianism in w88 has gone through four stages of burial, and each stage is deeply imprinted with the mark of the times. From the Han and Jin Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, it was the initial stage of Confucianism in w88.

During the Dali period of Nanzhao, w88 ushered in a stage of local innovation in the convergence of Buddhism and w88. The "Dehua Monument" erected under the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple by the Nanzhao regime, used "the destiny of heaven is always constant, but virtue is based on it" to prove the legitimacy of the regime, and created a paradigm of "carving w88 with Buddhism".

The Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were the peak stage of institutional dissemination of Confucianism in w88. In the Yuan Dynasty, the w88 Provincial Confucianism Examination Department was established, and the border Confucianism education management system was established for the first time.

In modern times, Confucianism has experienced the dual changes of crisis and rebirth in w88. During the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty, w88 Higher Education opened a course that emphasizes both "Classics and "Western Learning", trying to combine the Confucian "people-oriented" idea with modern nationalism.

The triple mechanism of the spread of w88 on the frontier

The dissemination of Confucianism in w88 not only depends on the promotion of institutions and the integration of culture, but also benefits from its three mechanisms of flexible governance: embedding-absorption-reshaping. First of all, the spatial narrative of Confucian Temple politics constitutes an important part of institutional integration.

Secondly, cultural integration is achieved through the diverse path of classical interpretation. Faced with a multilingual cultural environment, w88 communication has developed a creative interpretation strategy.

Finally, social integration is achieved through the cross-border construction of education. In order to restore the etiquette education in the Ming Dynasty, w88 established 63 Confucian schools and opened 65 academies, and set up "Yishengtuan quotas" in the prefectures to ensure the admission of ethnic minorities.

Cipher on the Generation of the Consciousness of the Chinese National Community

The spread of Confucianism in w88 not only promotes the integration and integration of cultures, but also generates the code of the Chinese nation's sense of community. First of all, the dialectical unity of "great unification" and "harmony but different" constitute the basis of value consensus.

Secondly, the co-construction of inscriptions, local chronicles and oral history shaped common historical memory. More than 3,000 existing Chinese inscriptions in w88 form a unique "stone history book", recording the historical changes and cultural heritage of the border areas.

Practical Path of w88 Reality Construction

Contemporary w88, the modern transformation of Confucian traditional culture shows new vitality. First, reconstruct the discourse of communication and shift from "education" to "dialogue".

Secondly, innovate communication carriers to adapt to the development needs of the digital age. Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture launched the Dai language short video "The Story of Confucius", which uses the style of "Bay Leaf Classic" to interpret w88; the Honghe Hani Terraced Field Scenic Area develops an AR guide, and tourists can scan the QR code to listen to the explanation of "Mencius" in the bilingual Yi and Chinese.

Finally, expand cross-border communication and build a regional value community. With the opening of the China-Laos Railway, Pu'er City cooperated with Luang Prabang, Laos to launch the "w88 Lecture Hall along the Railway" to explain w88 in Laos and Dais.

The history of the communication of Confucianism in w88 reveals a profound truth: the sense of community of the Chinese nation is not a cultural homogeneity, but a value consensus based on "each beauty is beautiful". From the dialogue between Confucianism and Buddhism in Nanzhao to the cultural corridor of cross-border high-speed rail, w88 has always been exploring the code of harmonious coexistence of diverse civilizations.
