Features: What is the enduring cultural Dao that has been passed down for five thousand years in China? Or, what should it be? The Dao of the Original Way is about finding a path, a path leading to the spiritual homeland. It is not merely a posture, a longing, or a belief; it also signifies concrete actions. As the saying goes, "The Dao is achieved through action," which, in today's terms, means that there was no path in the world originally; it became a path because more and more people walked on it.
As an intellectual and academic journal that has been committed to its mission for a decade, it has maintained a strong value pursuit and a clear ideological stance, exerting considerable influence in both academia and the intellectual community. The eleventh issue of The Original Way features a substantial section that comprehensively presents the speeches from the academic symposium held at the end of last year, reflecting the consensus and divergences among contemporary intellectual schools, particularly regarding traditional thought and Confucianism.
