Xi Jinping: to build a modern socialist country in an all-round way, we must adhere to the road of socialist cultural development with Chinese characteristics, enhance cultural self-confidence, stimulate the cultural innovation and creativity of the whole nation, and enhance the spiritual strength to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
This passage comes from the report of General Secretary Xi Jinping at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on October 16, 2022.
Text carries historical heritage and cultural genes. As a precious cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, oracle bone inscriptions are of great significance in protecting and inheriting excellent traditional Chinese culture.
As the site where oracle bone inscriptions were unearthed, Yin Xu in Anyang Site in Henan Province is the first capital site of the late Shang Dynasty that can be examined in Chinese history and confirmed by archaeological excavations.At the Yin Ruins Museum, the General Secretary scrutinized the unearthed cultural relics, gained a detailed understanding of the history behind them, and gave high praise to the cultural value of Yin Ruins.
The knife and pen leave marks, and the oracle bones look strange. The Yin ruins have unearthed an extremely rich collection of cultural relics, among which oracle bone inscriptions are undoubtedly the heaviest. They are an independent and systematic writing system that has been used for thousands of years and has not declined, demonstrating a tenacious vitality.
Excellent traditional Chinese culture is the root and soul of the Chinese nation. Cultural inheritance is an important link in shaping the identity of young people. How can oracle bone inscriptions, which are deeply rooted in Chinese cultural genes, take root and sprout in the hearts of young students?
"This is the oracle bone script textbook" Chinese Characters When I Was a Child "written by our school teachers. Through learning oracle bone script, children have gained an understanding of it and enhanced their cultural confidence." Yan Fei, the principal of Anyang Oracle Bone Script Primary School, said that in order to enable young students to receive the influence of oracle bone culture from an early age, Anyang City has introduced oracle bone script education into the campus, leading teachers and students throughout the city to enter the world of oracle bone script and experience the charm of Chinese culture contained in ancient writing.
At present, Anyang City has established multiple schools with distinctive oracle bone inscriptions, revised oracle bone inscriptions textbooks, and cultivated 100 teachers to engage in full-time and part-time teaching of oracle bone inscriptions. Anyang City strives to instill cultural confidence in every student's heart, allowing young people to have emotions, abilities, and advantages to inherit and promote oracle bone culture, so that the genes of Chinese culture can truly take root on campus.
In order to promote the revitalization, popularity, and utilization of oracle bone inscriptions, and to bring new vitality to this ancient cultural heritage in the new era, the Key Laboratory of Oracle Bone Inscription Information Processing revitalizes the source of Chinese characters with digital technology. By perfectly combining oracle bone culture with modern information technology, it achieves the protection, research, inheritance, and revitalization of oracle bone culture.
In recent years, the Chinese Character Museum has developed various Chinese character themed education projects, combining the popularization of Chinese character culture with rural revitalization and red education, and bringing Chinese character culture to more children, allowing excellent traditional Chinese cultural genes to flow in their "blood". More and more young people are actively touching and learning about China's excellent traditional culture.
Transforming historical and cultural resources into advantages for cultural and tourism development, and building modern Chinese civilization through cultural inheritance, is a new cultural development goal for Anyang City to build a "Chinese capital" and an international tourism destination in recent years. Nowadays, Anyang is firmly guarding the roots of traditional culture such as oracle bone inscriptions, inheriting and developing excellent traditional Chinese culture, and constantly writing vivid stories of cultural innovation and inheritance.
