   In the summer of July 2012, at the foot of Nishan mountain, the Nishan Shengyuan College held the Teacher’s Workshops in International Chinese Culture. Trainees from all over the world went there with a positive attitude and were eager to learn and together discussed “what is Confucianism (儒学)?” Professor Roger T. Ames raises the point that at this turning point, there is an extremely large possibility that the world needs Confucianism.
