HNU President Duan Xianzhong delivered a speech at the opening ceremony. He marked the significance of the dialogue to its venue–Hunan University located at the foot of Yuelu Mountain. In 1167, Chinese famous philosophers Zhu Xi and Zhang Shi gave lectures and held discussions together, which is still remembered today.
