This in-depth collaboration between the Yicheng City Confucian Studies Association and our company has behind it a double responsibility and warmth：
For the Yicheng City Confucian Studies Association, every practice of sinking public welfare Confucian resources to grassroots families breaks the distance of traditional culture and enables ordinary employees' children to have close contact with high-quality Confucian content such as intangible cultural heritage, family traditions, and Chinese characters, planting the seed of cultural confidence in children's hearts.
The enterprise also always believes that this is an extension of the "people-oriented" corporate culture and a vivid practice of corporate care for the families of employees. At the same time, using "harmony and culture" to connect the harmony of each small family, ultimately converging into the cohesion of the "big family" of the enterprise, achieving the original intention of "harmony and culture accompany growth".
This three-day Confucian journey finally came to an end with a group photo of all teachers and students, and the kindness and strength nourished by Confucianism will continue to ferment in the growth of children. The young people have aspirations, and the future is promising. This warm study journey will become a precious growth memory for children during their holidays.
