Hanshan Temple and Hanshan Temple Culture Forum
The Hanshan Temple in Suzhou of Jiangsu Province was built during the reign of Emperor Wu (464-549, r. 502-549) of the Liang Dynasty (502-557), and it was originally named "Miaoli Puming Temple." Allegedly, it was renamed "Hanshan Temple" during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong (685-762, r. 712-756) of the Tang Dynasty, and "Fengqiao Temple" in the Song Dynasty, and reverted to "Hanshan Temple" during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). The temple is an important landmark for carrying forward Hehe Culture. It has stone-carved picture of Han Shan and Shi De, and other relics of the Two Immortals, as well as such inscriptions as A Night Mooring by Maple Bridge and Foreword to Han Shan's Poems by Emperor Yongzheng.
There are 10 central research directions of Hanshan Temple culture, including the cultures of Zen, Hehe, historical stories, bell music, poetry, art, openness, education, charity, and the environment. In 2007, the First Hanshan Temple Culture Forum was held at the Hanshan Temple, with the aim of promoting Hehe Culture. Thereafter, Hanshan Temple has held the forum and published The Hanshan Temple Culture Forum Proceedings on a yearly basis, thereby making significant contributions to the spread and promotion of Hehe Culture.
On August 29, 2015, the IAU Committee on Small Body Nomenclature announced that the asteroid No. 200002 would be named Hehe Star. This demonstrates the international community's recognition of Chinese Hehe culture, and signifies humanity's aspirations for peace, harmony and happiness.
寒山寺与寒山寺文化论坛
寒山寺始建于南朝梁天监年间，旧名“妙利普明塔院”，据传，至唐玄宗时改名为寒山寺，宋代也曾改名枫桥寺，元代复称寒山寺。寺内现有寒山拾得像、寒拾遗踪，以及《枫桥夜泊》《雍正寒山诗序》等碑文，是传播弘扬和合文化的重要地标。
寒山寺文化研究包含禅宗文化、和合文化、历史文化、钟声文化、诗韵文化、艺术文化、开放文化、教育文化、慈善文化、环境文化等十个方面。2007年，以和合文化为主题的首届寒山寺文化论坛在苏州寒山寺举办。此后，寒山寺每年举办一次文化论坛，并推出《寒山寺文化论坛论文集》，为传播弘扬和合文化作出积极贡献。
2015年8月29日，国际小行星命名委员会将编号为（200002）号小行星命名为“和合星”，体现了国际社会对中华和合文化的充分肯定，表达了人类追求和平和睦、和谐幸福的强烈愿望。
