Yale Center in Beijing, China
The revival of the classics of Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism in China signals a unique turn to tradition within modernity. This revival is indispensable for grounding ecological civilization in the values of Chinese culture.
Similarly, the growing sophistication of historical restoration in China is noteworthy both in scope and commitment. A new initiative is being launched with the World Monuments Fund to support this endeavor.
Mary Evelyn Tucker, Co-Director of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology; Xinzhong Yao, former Dean of the School of Philosophy at Renmin University of China; Annie Liang-Zhou, Managing Partner of Liangs Culture and Founding Member of the World Monuments Fund Asia International Council; and Binbin Wang, Yale World Fellow 2023, will participate in a panel discussion to explore how ancient Chinese ideas and values complement the Chinese cultural legacy of restoration techniques and principles.
