Traditional Chinese Culture
China’s Traditional Culture is the essence of history of Human Civilization. Historian Arnold J. Toynbee said: The conflicts and contradiction of Human Society in the twenty-first century has to be solved by the idea of Ancient China’s Humanist Master.

Today, the more progress science makes in the already advanced industry, the more we are aware of our ignorance of the world. When we try to use the scientific experiences to explore the nature of the world and such issues, we are only to discover the limitation and paradox of science itself. And advanced scientists find out that the scientific achievement often proves the wisdom of ancient oriental metaphysics.

Compared to the longinquity and vastness of the universe, mankind and our science are so small and short-lived like a brief flash of light in history. Therefore, people today shall be modest and quest that if the real wisdom be retained in the torch of civilization of ancient time.

Contemporary Chinese says: Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. English proverb says: Seek the truth from facts. When you encounter the struggle for power/pressure from work/ competition and failure of love relationship, can you handle them with the help of psychological counseling and training provided by companies? And what about your employees?-----The matters can be solved only If we can learn the knowledge of settling down and get on with one’s pursuit from Confucianism/ Buddhism and Taoism, doctrines of Confucius, Mencius and Mahayana Buddhism, and worldly known TCM Regimen, as well as the mysterious and magic Traditional Theory, we will comprehend the true meaning of life, take control of our life, make people around you—your colleagues、friends、family and lover respect you from their heart, and love you as who you are rather than your face or wealth. Your words and deeds can be imprinted into other’s heart, you will become the pearl of the crowd, a favorite son of the heaven. The profound Traditional Chinese Culture can bring us all those benefit and more surprises.

Our institute aims to make real contribution in the spreading of Traditional Culture. The teachers are invited from non-governmental resources, they all have engaged in their industry which of orthodox origin for at least 20 years. They possessed the real knowledge of their field and moral character, which made them competent for teaching. Please be assured that, the essence of Traditional Chinese Culture still exists in civil sources. Another advantage of our institute is the adopting of bilingual teaching (Chinese & English), so the students may improve their ability in listening academic Chinese while they get to know the nature of the learning in English.

Mission & Team Introduction
Due to historical reasons, there are two trends of the traditional culture study at present. The humanities institutions and colleges in contemporary China pursue a unified philosophy more than half a century; they have a relatively fixed perspective. That is, to use Materialism and scientific to sieve out the dross off traditional culture and keep the essence, so as to serve the spiritual civilization of socialism. The idea, as a guiding ideology, is applied thoroughly in the research of various institutions and teaching in colleges and universities. Another trend comes from the influence of market-orientation. As a result of the pursuit of market value, to meet the market demand and the public taste, the traditional culture is often used as a prop to be moved onto the stage, Which itself has nothing to be blamed, However, in the process , the real meaning may be sacrificed for popularity. Seeking only superficial meaning will easily lead to the fragmentation of Traditional Culture, which also be the most commonly encountered situation When somebody comes to China trying to approach Traditional Chinese Culture. In fact, the more important value of a country or area, is the welfare it brings to all human and other sentient beings by her civilization. The meaning of the term--"Chinese people", lies more in the civilization they carried rather than their living area. Confucius said: Isn’t it a pleasure to have friends come from afar! The "far" is not just from space, also refers to different history period, this statement means: we are linked together by seeking across time and space the valuable knowledge of life with each other, with symphony arising in our minds, hence we become friends, which is the most delightful thing in life!

So, In response to these prevailing conditions, our mission is: To introduce the Traditional Chinese Culture systematically with its original appearance.
