Yang Huilin, former vice president of Chinese Min University and Dahua Chair Professor, said that from the experience level, he is very willing to enjoy the convenience brought by artificial intelligence, and from a professional point of view, he needs to think more about more problems. A characteristic of Chinese thought is that yin and yang grow and fade and grow together. Chinese talk about "sameness", in fact, it is more about "common", which is to treat the same because of the commonality, rather than to seek common ground because of the other. This is why only Chinese can say "harmony but difference" and "universal harmony"; It can be said that each maintains its own cultural characteristics, and it can be said that all mankind shares common values.
