What exactly is the culture that we present to the world today?At the "Forum on Exchanges and Mutual Learning of Civilizations in the Eyes of Chinese and Foreign Artists" held on December 2, Zhang Jie, a professor at the China Academy of Art and deputy director of the Chinese Painting Art Committee of the China Artists Association, threw out this question. Subsequently, he talked about it with the title of "When Liangzhu Meets the World".

Wei Zheng, a thinker in the Tang Dynasty, once said: "If you seek the elders of wood, you must investigate its roots."Those who want to flow far will dredge their springs. In Zhang Jie's view, the Chinese are good at "concentrating on big things." Thousands of years ago, our ancestors began to talk about cooperation and cooperation, using simple tools to create wide walls and magnificent water conservancy. Why are we able to "push our strength together"?Dating back to ancient times, we believe in the same legends, uphold the same ideas, share the same resources, and respect each other's Xi, and there is naturally a common and powerful spiritual force in our personality. Zhang Jie said that such a country naturally has the willingness, ability, and responsibility to help other countries improve their construction.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jie said, "Civilization needs to progress in blending and iterate in progress." "The Liangzhu civilization is not a civilization confined to a small circle, on the vast time and space scale extended by the nine city gates, it has a strong ability to create, it is an open system with deep integration with the Central Plains civilization, it is a dynamic process to promote exchanges and succession, and it is the historical coordinate of precipitating the achievements of civilization. Liangzhu also enlightens us that human beings' understanding of beauty and harmony is common - this understanding has condensed our unified national identity and conceptual beliefs in the past, and will lead us to build a firm cultural self-confidence and a bold era in the future.
Back to the present, how can the Belt and Road Initiative we proposed develop in a smoother direction in the future?Zhang Jie used the ancient kingdom of Liangzhu as an analogy, which had tall walls to ward off enemies, but there was no rule that only who could enter. It is precisely because we advocate sharing, development and co-construction, so in ancient times, tribes with different ideas could also coexist in peace and quiet for thousands of years, with exchanges and development. Friends who are willing to accept our concept, of course, we will not erect a high wall, we can show you a little more than the word "king" "jade", see "the gentleman of words, warm like jade", see us communicate with heaven and man, including the ancient and modern 'outside and inside', we can also communicate with China and foreign countries, inclusive. Zhang Jie said emotionally.
So, what exactly is the culture that we are showing to the world?"Undoubtedly, it is the inheritance of our civilization for 5,000 years. What we do today is the same as our ancestors 5,000 years agoDay by day, we make fire;We rule the waters, we make things;We gather, we sow;We build, we integrate. "The flame of civilization is endless, and the Chinese spirit is eternal.
