PRESIDENT XI JINPINGS COHERENT CULTURE(HE CULTURE) FOR WORLD

MUTUAL DEVELOPMENT AND COMMON DESTINY


BY FRANCIS C W FUNG, PH.D.

In a treatise by Zhang Liwen titled Philosophy of Coherence and Connectivity


(He-He philosophy), Zhang claims the philosophy of He-He is the essence of
ancient Chinese culture. It was the union and culmination of all ancient Chinese
philosophy including Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism through the ages. The
reason China has the longest culture of world civilization is because the spirit of
He-He philosophy that holds Chinese civilization together at every major
disruption. The fact that China melted foreign religions together without major wars
was credited to the coherent and connectivity forces of the He-He philosophy at
work.
The 20th century is a century of hegemony and disharmony mainly caused by
Americas unilateral action to propagate its ideology and value domination. In his
book Clash of Civilizations by Samuel Huntington, he predicted the coming
clashes of religions and East, West cultures in the 21 st century. It is under this 20th
century conflict I wrote numerous essays on Harmony Renaissance and Harmony
Diplomacy as process to seek world reconciliation and harmony. (Please see my
essays under above subjects at Google search or
www.worldharmonyforum.blogspot.com)
However, Zhang in his treatise He-He Philosophy, categorily disagrees with
Huntington. As Zhang sees it, the five major 20 th century conflicts will lead to a
cycle of reconciliation and unity according to the spirit of coherence and
connectivity He-He Philosophy during the 21st century. Just as Chinese wisdoms
believe the destruction of disunity and disharmony will as a rule lead to unity and
harmony by dynamic Ying-Yang balance. The progress towards unity and harmony is
also partly due to the rise of China and the developing countries and the relative
decline of America hegemony and dominance. The five conflicts of 20 th century are
conflicts between men and men, between men and society, between men and
nature, among religions and among different cultures.
Zhang predicts the philosophy of coherence and connectivity (He-He Philosophy)
will be the process that will lead to 21st century world unity and harmony and thus
President Xi JinPings world mutual development and common destiny. I have also
advocated Harmony Renaissance not just as an end state in my numerous essays
but as a process that will resolve the 20th century conflicts and lead to the final
world harmony with dynamic balance.
President Xi Jinping in his long vision sums up Zhangs He-He Philosophy, Chinas
ancient harmony cultural wisdom, and my Harmony Renaissance process into one

grand initiative of Coherence Culture (HE Culture) for world mutual development
and common destiny leading to the final world harmony that so many of us long for.
To support his grand initiative of HE Culture, he adds that for his initiative to
succeed mankind must holds true the five connectivity principles of mutual learning,
mutual respect, mutual benefits, mutual consultations and dialogue. May world
peace and harmony be everlasting!!!
