As an important"port"for the overseas communication of Chinese culture and the overseas construction of national image, Confucius Institute has not only become the focus of media attention but also become a sample of many studies and discussions. Through the conversation and reflection with Li E, Chinese dean of the Confucius Institute of Nuremberg-Erlangen University in Germany, this paper deepens the understanding of the role and function of Confucius Institute and the mode and thinking of the local development of Confucius Institute in different culture. There is a further clarification of how the grand narrative of cross-cultural communication takes root in foreign cultures. In particular, through an in-depth exploration of the internal construction and external image construction of Confucius Institute, and the connection between personal experience and grand narrative, this paper excavates the nature and characteristics, roots and soil, posture and flow direction of Confucius Institute in the overseas dissemination of Chinese culture and generalizes the"five images".
