Hold a lamp to illuminate the brilliance of a thousand years of glory. On July 9, the online theme publicity of "Why China in a Prosperous Age" jointly guided by the Central Cyberspace Office, the National Cutural Heritage Administration, the People's Daily and the Cyberspace Commission of Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee was launched in Xi'an, Shaanxi. We gather forces to explore new expressions that endow the new form of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the new era through cultural "two creations", and together discover the new atmosphere that allows cultural heritage to survive in the present.
Glorious China, with ancient mountains and rivers. Exploring the Past and Tracing the Past, Why China?Only by comprehensively and deeply understanding the history of Chinese civilization can we more effectively promote the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture, and more effectively promote the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics and the construction of modern Chinese civilization.
To live in the present with the spirit of our ancestors and open up the face of the times, it is necessary to take action.Yin Ruins is the ancient capital site with the most archaeological excavations, the longest duration, and the largest exposed area in China. In this cultural heritage, there is a key code for the origin, formation, and development of Chinese civilization. In recent years, the research and learning team here has shown explosive growth. Civilization remains are like a ruler, testing the understanding and implementation of "creative transformation and innovative development" by modern generations.
Without having to broaden our horizons too far, we can feel the brilliance and heritage of cultural relics in the scene right in front of us. During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian used his youth and life to walk on the Silk Road, replacing the previous camel caravan with a series of China Europe freight trains, running day and night between the Eurasian continent. Between the cycles of starting and ending, it once again weaves the world together. Quanzhou, Fujian was the starting point of the ancient "Maritime Silk Road" and also the "largest port in the East" during the Song and Yuan dynasties. Nowadays, the Overseas Transportation History Museum here attracts countless people to explore cultural relics and observe the past and present. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" initiative. When cultural relics and modern scenes are intertwined everywhere, the former has been given unlimited possibilities to "live in the present". Exploring the past and tracing the past, why China - this is probably the most convincing answer!
Once the development and inheritance are lost, even the most glorious cultural relics may become forgotten. Recently, a series of micro documentaries titled "Amazing Cultural Relics - National Heritage Routes" will be released, which will take us back to the formation and development of eight important heritage routes in China, including the Hexi Corridor, Qinzhi Road, Shu Road, and Wanli Tea Road. We will experience their historical and cultural charm that spans time and space, and witness the outstanding continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness, and peace of Chinese civilization. Allowing cultural heritage to survive in the present is not just about innovating ideas, but also about actively exploring how to do it. "The Great Cultural Relics - National Heritage Route" completes a "hollowing out journey" in light and shadow, using a modern way of "telling stories" to awaken people's deep Chinese sentiment, and also fulfilling our mission of "creative transformation and innovative development".
Integrating into modern life, allowing cultural heritage to survive in the present. The Grand Canal has opened a cultural and tourism expo, continuing its glory after thousands of years of navigation; The Yuelu Academy, adorned with a plaque reading "Only Chu has talent", continuously strengthens its research and interpretation of excellent traditional Chinese culture, making a contribution to building a strong cultural country; The Suzhou Pingjiang Historical and Cultural Street, with a history of over 2500 years, has been restored to its original state, preserving its authenticity, and supporting a poetic life for nearly 8000 residents. The online theme promotion of "Why China is China in a Prosperous Era" also shares the beauty of cultural mutual learning on the ancient Silk Road, arousing cultural confidence that "my heart belongs to China". The historical scenes have undergone several transformations, but the imprints brought by cultural relics remain clear. This is because we not only focus on the past, but also on the present. Integrated development and cultural rejuvenation, such a way is really Chinese!
