A vivid historical record of today s Chinese culture going global

Today's art exchange between China and the rest of the world is unprecedented," said Chen Sheng, President of the Shanghai International Arts Festival. In just seven years since its founding, China's only national-level international arts festival has established ties with dozens of countries on five continents. Last year, the "Russian Culture Week" was presented at the festival, and this year the "Egyptian Culture Week" was presented.

Never before has China been so integrated into every wave of world culture as it is today: Pavarotti has held a concert tour in China, the Hollywood blockbuster "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" has its simultaneous world premiere in China, and the top French luxury brand "Chanel" has launched its latest fashion ...... in Shanghai with a maglev train.

Michael Kaiser, president of the Kennedy Center in the United States, who received the "Cultural Exchange Contribution Award" from the Ministry of Culture of China, said that Chinese culture is like a fresh wind to the world.

The New York Times' previous report and commentary on the Chinese Arts Festival in Washington also aptly pointed out that "harmony" is the essence of Chinese culture. "She is one of the great cultures of the world, or more accurately, she encompasses many of the great cultures of the world. China is the oldest civilization on the planet, with more than 50 ethnic groups and more than 1,500 dialects, and an incredible diversity of traditional arts, costumes, ** and language arts from various ethnic groups and regions.

In fact, before Chinese culture went to the world in such a colorful manner, the core knowledge that China conveyed to the world was that China is a country with strong economic competitiveness, which to some extent explains why the world feels both familiar and unfamiliar with the "Chinese dragon", which is both fascinating and worrying.

Ms. Peters, a director of an American public relations agency who has visited China many times, wrote that once "foreigners" come into contact with Chinese culture, travel and experience it themselves, they will naturally dispel the stereotype about China that still pervades the Western world.

Peters said that China has fascinating gardens, vast and magnificent mountains and rivers, and the joy of three generations ......in the same houseWith the 2008 Beijing Olympics approaching, China should take more active actions to make the meaning of "China" more colorful, so that China can truly become the dream country of people all over the world! ”

In an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters in Shanghai, Wu Jianmin, former Chinese ambassador to France and president of the China Foreign Affairs University, was proud and relieved that the Chinese culture of "valuing harmony" has finally gone global.

Wu Jianmin was recently invited to attend an international forum and delivered a speech on the topic of "China's Rise." After the speech, a foreign guest asked, "What is the most prominent feature of Chinese culture?" Wu Jianmin immediately used English, "Harmony is precious!" The audience applauded.

Wu Jianmin said that after hundreds of years of closure, China's economic and cultural opening up to the outside world has just begun, and it will still take time for the world to re-understand China. "Chinese culture values harmony and will bring new wisdom to how to resolve disputes and differences in today's world. With the rise of China, the world will re-recognize the value of Chinese culture.

Chinese culture refers to culture in a broad sense, that is, civilization, which has had a great impact on the world. China is not the oldest civilization in the world, but it is the oldest Asian civilization in the world that exists and is still continuing.

1.Classical philosophy. The Book of Changes contains the basis of modern computer binary, and modern mathematical logic should also rely on the Book of Changes, Lao Tzu's speculative philosophy is applied to modern philosophy, Sun Tzu is applied to business warfare, and the Four Books and Five Classics are used in China's neighboring countries

South Korea, Japan, North Korea, etc., are more influential, and these countries are all members of the Chinese cultural circle. During the Enlightenment, Voltaire of France conveniently used Chinese Confucianism, and Voltaire comprehensively studied Confucian philosophical thoughts, political theories, moral ethics, human concepts, and social laws, and constructed a new set of social theories that had a great impact on Western society. The doctrine of Yangming in the Ming Dynasty also promoted the "Meiji Restoration" in Japan.

The first book to mention Confucianism, Confucian Morality, was published in London in 1641.

2.Technological aspects. China's four major inventions have promoted the progress of the world, the beginning of modernization, and the opening of new shipping routes, which are inseparable from the compass; The emancipation of the mind, the Renaissance, and the Enlightenment were inseparable from papermaking and printing; And medicine has become a sharp weapon for smashing feudal castles, which plays a great role in modern warfare, and even aerospace is also used.

The four great inventions of China played a greater role in radically transforming the modern world and separating it from the ancient and medieval times than any religion, the influence of any divination, or the success of any conqueror. The rocket was also first invented by China. Chinese lacquerware, Chinese iron smelting and well piercing technology were the first to appear in the world.

Chinese food and traditional Chinese medicine are also unique in the world. Dr. Joseph Needham of the United Kingdom wrote emotionally in his book "China: The Land of Inventions and Discoveries":

Chinese literature clearly shows us one extraordinary invention after another, and archaeological evidence or paintings confirm that Chinese inventions and discoveries are generally long ahead of European or copied inventions or discoveries. Whether it is the arrangement of binomial coefficients, or the method of transferring rotational motion and linear motion to each other, or the escapement in the first clock, or the ductile cast iron ploughshare, or the creation of botany and soil science, or the relationship with internal organs, or the discovery of smallpox vaccination - no matter which one you have, China always ranks first in the world one after another. Joseph Needham's 20 million-word History of Science and Technology in China vividly and in detail shows the world the great creation of ancient China's science and technology culture and its great contribution and influence on world civilization.

3.Cultural aspects (narrowly defined). During the Sui and Tang dynasties, foreign and foreign exchanges were unprecedentedly frequent, and most of the neighboring countries imitated China's various systems.

China's culture was the world's leading culture until the Ming Dynasty. China's urban development also has a great impact on the world, and before the Song Dynasty, the world was a country that learned from China's urban construction. The open era of China's Middle Ages has cultivated many talents from all over the world.
