On the eve of attending the opening ceremony of the 31st Summer Universiade in Chengdu, on the afternoon of July 25 and the afternoon of July 26, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Guangyuan City and Deyang City in Sichuan Province to inspect Cuiyun Corridor Ancient Shu Road and Sanxingdui Museum.

These two inspection points have a strong sense of history and cultural significance. The Universiade is also a grand event for cultural exchange.

First, let's take a look at the ancient Shu Road of Cuiyun Corridor.

The Cuiyun Corridor that General Secretary inspected this time is a section of the Jianmen Shu Road. On both sides of the road, the ancient cypress branches stretch out and provide thick shade to cover the sky.

Three hundred thousand trees with a long distance, ancient people planted cypress on the Shu Road, dating back to the Qin Dynasty, with the intention of planting trees to show the way and counting the distance with trees.

For thousands of years, trees have shaded people, and people have revered them. The Cuiyun Corridor silently expresses the vision and pursuit of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, containing the ecological wisdom of the Chinese people.

At the National Ecological Environment Protection Conference held in 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The Chinese nation has always respected and loved nature. The Chinese civilization that has lasted for more than 5000 years has nurtured a rich ecological culture."

Not long ago, the National Conference on Ecological Environment Protection was held again.

Only one week after the meeting was held, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Cuiyun Corridor on the spot to understand the local situation of promoting the inheritance of history and culture and strengthening the construction of ecological civilization, and the signal sent is self-evident: it is necessary to inherit and carry forward ecological culture. regard the construction of ecological civilization as the fundamental plan for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation.

Looking at Sanxingdui again.

This is the largest and highest level central site discovered in the Xia and Shang dynasties in the Sichuan Basin, fully reflecting the important contributions of ancient Shu civilization and Yangtze River culture to Chinese civilization. It is an important physical example of the diversified and integrated development model of Chinese civilization.

Behind the saying "Sleeping for three thousand years, waking up to shock the world" is an important work - archaeology.

General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to archaeological work, and a series of important expositions have given archaeological work a major mission: "Archaeological work is an important work to display and construct the history of the Chinese nation and the treasures of Chinese civilization." "Understanding history cannot be separated from archaeology".

Archaeological work answers the question of where Chinese civilization came from and where it went, seeking roots for cultural progress, accumulating strength for the development of the times, and laying the foundation for national confidence.

Where we know, we know where we go.

This trip to Sichuan, two inspection points, with the keyword "civilization".

In June of this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping issued an inspiring call to the whole party and society at the cultural inheritance and development symposium: "We must strengthen cultural self-confidence, assume the mission, work hard, and work together to create a new culture that belongs to our era. Build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation."

During an inspection tour in Jiangsu in July, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation is an inevitable requirement for promoting Chinese-style modernization and an important part of the construction of socialist spiritual civilization.

Whether it is to inherit and promote ecological culture, or to strengthen archaeological work and historical research, it is the proper meaning of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, and it will also give Chinese path to modernization a deep foundation.

At the same time, General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the exchange and mutual learning of human civilizations, emphasizing that "civilizations communicate because of diversity, learn from each other because of exchanges, and develop because of mutual learning".

At this year's Universiade, the "Sun God Bird" element from over 3000 years ago frequently appeared, and the long-standing and splendid Chinese civilization extended a sincere invitation to other civilizations around the world.

Embracing all rivers and embracing everything, each one showcases its own beauty and shares the same beauty. Through the Universiade as a platform for cultural exchange and mutual learning, Chinese civilization will surely shine with even more brilliance.
