The Confucian emphasis on benevolence and empathy can be applied in conflict resolution processes. When parties in conflict embrace these values, it becomes easier to find common ground, compromise, and work towards peaceful solutions. Confucian civilization, with its emphasis on ethics, harmony, and diplomacy, offers valuable contributions to peace-building efforts in the contemporary world. By promoting virtuous leadership, fostering cross-cultural understanding, and emphasizing ethical governance, Confucianism can play a positive role in achieving and maintaining global peace. Confucianism continues to exert significant influence in the contemporary world, particularly in the context of peace-building efforts. This article explores the positive significance of Confucian civilization in contributing to peace-building endeavors globally.
