Enter the International Cultural Dialogue Pro-Actively with Uniqueness and Originality

Abstract

Dialogue naturally includes economics, politics, military affairs and more, and culture is an especially important and integral part of it. Culture itself is a type of strength or power which is used to delineate and identify all phenomena in our surroundings, such as good or evil, beauty or ugliness, precious or commonplace, worthy of respect or contempt, order or chaos, sagely or fanatical, normal or abnormal, healthy or diseased, etc. Any member of a given cultural matrix when considering these phenomena will reach basic agreement and form a cultural force, a force whose development is completed by the complementary processes of renting or endorsement and liyi or estrangement.
