Hehe Culture Research Institute of Taizhou University

It is a bounden duty for the colleges and universities in Taizhou to study, publicize and promote Hehe Culture. In 2017, the Hehe Culture Research Institute was established in Taizhou University. This is China's first substantive research institution focusing on Hehe Culture. It reflects the great importance that the Taizhou Municipal People's Government and Taizhou University have attached to the research on Hehe Culture.

Grown out of the Taizhou Humanities Research Institute founded in Taizhou Normal College in 1992, the Hehe Culture Research Institute has a tradition of studying Tiantai Mountains culture. It consists of the Center for Hehe Culture, the Center for Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism, and the Center for the Tang Poetry Road, thus having a layout that takes Hehe Culture as the main focus, Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism as the basis, and the Tang Poetry Road as the unique form of cultural communication. The study of Hehe Culture includes research on the culture's formation, connotations, historical significance and contemporary value. The study of Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism mainly focuses on Neo-Confucianism, Tiantai Buddhism and the South Sect of Daoism. The study of the Tang Poetry Road involves literature and art, history and geography, economy and trade, religious beliefs, folk customs and dialects, transportation and tourism along the Tang Poetry Road in east Zhejiang.

In 2017, the institute undertook the "Research on Tiantai Mountains Hehe Culture," a major research program as part of the Zhejiang Cultural Research Program (Phase II). In 2020, it concluded its research and published five related books: Index of Research on Tiantai Mountains Hehe Culture compiled by Yang Gongfa, An Introduction to Tiantai Mountains Hehe Culture by He Shanmeng and Chen Ruigang, A History of Tiantai Mountains Hehe Culture by Zhang Yan, Interregional Diffusion of Tiantai Mountains Hehe Culture by Qu Xiaoyu, Hao Jinguang and Sun Minghui, and The Contemporary Value of Tiantai Mountains Hehe Culture by Yang Gongfa and Wang Tingting. These books pioneered systematic research on Tiantai Mountains Hehe Culture.
