The Cultural Connotations, Value Implications and Pedagogical Applications of the Beijing Central Axis in University-Level International Chinese Language Education

The Beijing Central Axis, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2024, emerges as a pivotal cultural and educational resource for international Chinese language education. This study identifies its profound significance in fostering cross-cultural communication and understanding among university-level learners, aligning with China's 'going global' strategy for cultural dissemination. By analyzing the Axis's cultural connotations and value implications through the lens of cross-cultural communication theory, the research provides actionable pedagogical insights to integrate this heritage into language curricula, enhancing both cultural knowledge acquisition and national identity formation.
