Confucius Institutes in the dissemination of Chinese culture abroad

Abstract

In today's globalized world, the dissemination of culture not only strengthens people's sense of identity with their own culture, but also facilitates the exchange and learning of cultures around the world, promoting the overall development of human culture. Internationally, Confucius Institutes have been established around the world to teach Chinese as a foreign language and spread Chinese culture. As an important platform for the dissemination of Chinese culture, Confucius Institutes have great advantages, and their construction and dissemination can greatly enhance China's cultural influence and national soft power. Therefore, this paper will analyze the forms and functions of the Confucius Institute of the University of Buenos Aires, which was previously established in Argentina, to provide reference suggestions for other Confucius Institutes in promoting Chinese culture.
