The lantern lanterns reflect the smiling faces of tourists, and in the past 10,000 years, history is flashing back and culture is talking.
During the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival in 2024, the National Archaeological Site Park, located in the countryside and the city, will be full of New Year's flavor and fireworks. According to the preliminary statistics of various places, from February 10 to 24, the audience of 55 national archaeological site parks across the country reached 88170,000 people. Among them, the Old Summer Palace, the Imperial Kiln Factory, Luoyang City of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Zhengzhou**, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, the Daming Palace, and the Weiyang Palace of Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty received more than 500,000 visitors.
Tracing the Spring Festival that has just passed, it can be said that an obvious feature is that the "cultural flavor" is getting stronger and stronger - archaeological site parks and museums are crowded with people; Young people in Hanfu are a landscape in their own right; The dragon and lion dances bring auspiciousness in the churning and jumping; Folk activities such as wandering gods and British singing and dancing are popular "out of the circle" ......It seems that the more the wheel of time rolls forward, the more eager people are to experience the taste of culture and get nourishment from tradition.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand, because the excellent traditional culture is the self-confidence that supports the steady and far-reaching development of our nation, and it is also the wisdom left by our ancestors to future generations and enlighten future generations.
As far into the past as you can see, you can see as far into the future. "Where did we come from? Where are we headed? Today, I have always reminded myself that I must have such a sense of history. This is a question that haunts the heart of the general secretary. As the only civilization in the world that has not been interrupted, the Chinese civilization has withstood more than 5,000 years of ups and downs, and it can absolutely withstand the test of time and situation, and it has also accumulated the power to lead us to the future. When the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics is getting wider and wider, we must not forget the direction and guidance made by the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization; While international disputes advocate "hegemony" and "power", modern China, which is confined to traditional culture, has given the answer of "cooperation" and "peace" ......The more noisy the world is, the more calm we should be supported by the 5,000-year-old civilization, because this kind of firm cultural self-confidence is the most basic, deepest and most lasting force in the development of a country and a nation.
Focusing on the micro individual, excellent traditional culture also inspires people to think and fill the inside. In the author's opinion, the world is always anxious, but reading history is a kind of determination. The emphasis here is not on the action of "reading", but on all the behaviors of getting close to history and appreciating culture. It allows us to jump out of the fragments of reality and immerse ourselves in a vast world that spans millennia; It allows us to occasionally slow down to fight against the values of "rapid decay" and figure out where our hearts want; It also evokes cultural identity in our blood and brings people closer together. Therefore, we can see that in recent years, more and more people like to "soak" in museums, unhurriedly, just to calm down and feel the charm of history. And when some people feel lost, the wisdom of the ancients, such as "I am born to be useful" and "the light boat has crossed the ten thousand mountains", can always solve the myths of today's people.
History is the reality of the past, and reality is the history of the future. Only by drawing wisdom and strength from the excellent traditional culture can we move towards the future more confidently and calmly, which is true for the nation, the country and the individual.
