During the ninth Nishan Forum on World Civilizations, which gets underway in Qufu, hometown of Confucius in East China's Shandong province, guests can explore the magic of traditional Chinese medicine as a pathway to holistic health and wellness. The enduring legacy of TCM showcases its glamour through its ability to nurture the body, mind, and spirit.

In the venue, people are mesmerized by the variety of Chinese medicine samples or try a rejuvenating acupuncture or acupoint massage. Others try to practice the graceful art of taichi or explore the power of baduanjin, a traditional Chinese form of aerobics.
