With the Temple of Literature - National University as its cradle, the university has a long tradition of disseminating and promoting knowledge about Confucianism, especially in units such as the Faculty of Literature, the Faculty of Oriental Studies, and the Faculty of Philosophy. The Vice Rector affirmed that, with experience in organizing many large international conferences, the university is fully capable of meeting the requirements of the T'oegyehak International Institute.
