There were six panels working within the framework of the scientific forum, which discussed the relations between Sinology and the dialogue of cultures, Sinology and the study of history, Chinese literature, translations of Chinese classical texts, and Chinese opera.

Two round-table discussions were organized: one was devoted to the study of previously unknown Chinese texts discovered by archaeologists, and the other - to the interaction between Chinese literature and contemporary Sinology. More than one hundred scholars from various educational and research institutions of the PRC took part in the work of the conference, and about twenty scholars represented Taiwan, Xianggang and Aomen.
