Professor Li Jikai, dean of the Institute for Advanced Research in Humanities and Social Sciences of Shaanxi Normal University, proposed that Silk Road literature should be a cross-time, cross-nationality,

cross-language and cross-culture literature, and modern Silk Road literature should also be the continuation and development of ancient Silk Road literature. In the context of creating the great cause of "The Belt and Road" and the Silk Road culture,

the topics of "Silk Road studies" and its discipline construction, "Silk Road literature" and its "Land silk literature" and "Sea silk literature" can be said to be timely, worthy of in-depth study, and make practical contributions to the continuous promotion of Silk Road studies.

Professor Xu Peiyuan, dean of the Maritime Silk Road Research Institute of Huaqiao University, believes that the new coronavirus epidemic has intensified the investment risks of the "Belt and Road", and one of the current focuses of work is to improve the investment mechanism and control risks, and the benefit binding mechanism is worthy of in-depth study in reality.

Professor Ma Lirong, director of the Silk Road Strategy Institute of Shanghai International Studies University, pointed out that the construction of the Silk Road academic community from the perspective of the humanistic community has profound internal and external factors,

and is also a realistic move to build the academic discourse system of the "Belt and Road", which will be a breakthrough for the "Belt and Road" to achieve a stable and long-term development and a new mission for domestic Silk Road scholars.

In fact, the establishment of the Silk Road Academic Community has a profound foundation for cooperation and academic origin. Professor Ma Lirong talked about the Silk Road academic exchanges and cooperation between China and the United Nations,
