The Cross-Straits Center of Guoxue was inaugurated on April 23, 2018, in Pingtan, also the closest place on the Chinese mainland to the island of Taiwan. The center strives for a mission: to ordain conscience for Heaven and Earth, to secure life and fortune for the people, to continue lost teachings for past sages, and to establish peace for all future generations. The center also aims to create a "common homeland" with spiritual connectivity between both sides of the Taiwan Straits in the new era. Guoxue is loosely defined as the study of ancient Chinese civilization- specifically, such realms as history, philosophy, literature, and art.
An array of activities such as cross-Straits Guoxue forums, Guoxue lectures, thematic study camps, and reading sessions, among others take place on a regular basis.
