Chen Lai is a professor of philosophy and head of the Academy of Chinese learning at Tsinghua University. His specialism is Confucianism, and his outstanding achievements have significant influences at home and abroad.
Tung Chin-yue was once taught by Kong Decheng, a 77th-generation descendant of Confucius. He is an honorary professor of Chinese literature at Taiwan Politics University.
The prize committee described Chen as the "inheritor and interpreter of Chinese culture" and Tung Chin-yue as "the propagator of the Chinese national culture".
The prize was awarded at the 7th World Confucianism Conference held recently in Qufu, the hometown of Confucius. Launched in 2009, the event attracted more than 150 experts and scholars from 15 countries and regions this year.
