Now the “Belt and Road” initiative has become a deep popularity. As the starting point of the Silk Road, its economy and culture have further attracted the attention of the world. This year is the 20th year of the Western Development. According to the "Western Urban Affairs" report, from 2001 to 2018, Xi'an's GDP has expanded by more than 10 times. Looking at the recently adopted "Guidance Opinions on Promoting the Forming a New Foreign Fair in the New Era", it is worth noting that the opinions will pay more attention to the leading role of the "Belt and Road" in the "Belt and Road" in the opinion.

"Today's" Belt and Road "is not to rebuild an exactly the same Silk Road. Instead, it is fully open and friendly with foreign countries. Therefore, the modern Silk Road is an innovation of no ancients, not repeated history." Ge Jianxiong, a well -known historical geographical scientist and a professor at Fudan University, based on the theme of "From the Silk Road to the Belt and Road: Huaxia spiritual civilization in Chang'an", in the first speech of "Huike Changan", and shared with the audience at the audience at the scene of ancient times, he had to ancient times to ancient times to ancient times. The insights of the Silk Road and the "Belt and Road" initiative.

Xi'an's most talked about the reputation of the "Thirteen Dynasties" and the starting point of the "Ancient Silk Road". But which can be tapped and which can be promoted, many people are not clear about the details of historical and cultural. On March 18, a large -scale series of cultural IP project "Huike Changan", which was created by Surging News and Xi'an Radio and Television Station, and the theme of cultural heritage.

Based on a context of a very far away from us, how to carry forward and inherit it, perhaps only by translating into a contemporary context can it be more likely to be used by us. How to make history and culture no longer cold, and communication may be more direct than cultural communication. "Huike Changan" is based on culture and history as the extension, deconstructing the "Belt and Road" initiative, and as the starting point of the Silk Road, Xi'an has further attracted worldwide attention.

Look at the origin of Chinese civilization from materialism

"Marxist historical materialism tells us that researching any issues cannot be separated from its material conditions." Before speaking the history of the ancient Silk Road, Ge Jianxiong first explained why Huaxia civilization originally originally originally explained in the perspective of philosophy.

From the description of the Book of Songs, it can be seen that the rich Central Plains is the material foundation of the ancestors, food, housing, and travel. , System and other activities, create excellent conditions. Ge Jianxiong emphasized that this time is much earlier than the Silk Road.

Secondly, Changan has long been an ancient capital of China. At that time, the excellent culture and talents were concentrated here. This made Changan not only materialize, but also reached the pinnacle of the spiritual civilization. It gathered the culture and art essence of the whole country, even some surrounding countries, and formed the highest level of Chinese civilization at the time. Just like the poems retained in "The Tang Poems", from the background of the author, some are Japanese, some are Korean, Silla, Baiji, Annan and others. Essence

Huaxia civilization stems from the last reason of Changan. Ge Jianxiong believes that it can be obtained from the development of Changan. During the development of Chang'an City, it was reborn after several destruction, but formed new glory. The capital was continuously developed in twists and turns. Ge Jianxiong explained that when Chu and Han struggled, although we were not sure if the Afang Palace was really burned, one thing was yes, Xianyang had been completely destroyed. Later, Han Gaozu Liu Bang decided to move Xizhong in the West and establish a new capital -Chang'an Township. When we look back now, it is obvious that Changan in the Western Han Dynasty has surpassed the Qin Dynasty's Xianyang.

The Changan civilization reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, but why did the emperor continue to build a capital in Changan? Ge Jianxiong proposed that this was caused by the Tang Dynasty's "opening and not letting go." This view is also mentioned in his article "Only Humanities". Ge Jianxiong said that we all know that the Tang Dynasty opened the door to the outside world and took the initiative to relocate exotic and alien people. But this openness is relative, it does not allow their subjects to go out. Just like Xuan Zang's eastward, he also arrived in Guzhou, Gansu, because he couldn't go far away and was caught by the border police. Since the head of the border defense believed in the Buddha, he stole him, so he did not dare to return to Changan in Gaochang, Turpan and other places today. Then he asked someone to write to Tang Taizong and asked for forgiveness, explaining the reason to dare to go back. In the exact record today, there was almost no Tang Dynasty who took the initiative to go abroad. Tang poetry, "There is no reason for the west of the west", "the spring breeze does not cross the Yumen Pass", etc., it also explains this.

In ancient China did not pay attention to the Silk Road

"The Silk Road has appeared until now. For more than 2000 years, the Chinese have not realized this road, let alone its importance." Material is developed to China, not in China. Ge Jianxiong believes that this is the reason why it was ignored.

The concept of the "Silk Road" was officially proposed by German geographicist Li Xifen in 1877. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom moved, Li Xipifen came to China. He spent more than three years studying and found that around the 2nd century AD, there was a route from Luoyang, the ancient capital of China to the Samalham of the Middle East. It is silk, so he names it "Silk Road".

In the 2nd century BC, "Historical Records" recorded Zhang Jian's envoy in the Western Regions. This is the earliest record about this route. However, Zhang Jian's envoys were not for trade silk, but for political purposes to help Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty move to the Yueshi and Wusun people, hoping that they would move back to the Qilian Mountains, and the Han Dynasty hit the Huns.

Zhang Jian did not achieve the purpose of the Western Regions for the first time, and was detained by the Huns and returned after 13 years. However, he stayed in the Western Regions for more than ten years and knew about the countries of the Western Regions. When he came back to report it to Emperor Hanwu, the Central Plains knew that the Western Regions were not wild, but had rich products and many countries.

In 119 BC, Zhang Jian made the second time to the Western Regions. In addition to continuing to recruit Wusun, another purpose was to communicate the Western Regions and attract small nations in the Western Regions to obey. So this time, Zhang Jian brought more than 150 envoys, two horses per person, which transported a large number of products, among which the silk accounted for a large part. This is Zhang Jian's suggestion, because there is no silk in the Western Regions, and the silk value is high, light, and not easy to rot.

This time the envoy failed to recruit Wusun, but through diplomacy, Zhang Jian attracted a group of messengers to follow him back to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Hanwu was very happy. From then on, he sent menians every year. Dozens of people with large envoys and more than a dozen people continued to transport the silk to the Western Regions.

But the emergence of this traffic route may be earlier. Ge Jianxiong also mentioned in his speech. He believes that this speculation has archeological evidence to confirm. Hetian Yu was unearthed in the tomb of the Shang Dynasty, indicating that there was already a traffic route to Xinjiang at that time. Wheat, ox, bronze, etc. are introduced from West Asia and Central Asia, indicating that more than 3,000 years ago or even 4000 years ago, Central Asia's road to the Yellow River Basin already exists. The white people's corpses were found in the ancient tomb of Xinjiang, indicating that they had arrived in Xinjiang at the time, and they would likely continue to east.

The "Belt and Road" is an innovation of the Silk Road

Many people believe that the "Belt and Road" is the continuation, reconstruction and reconstruction of the ancient Silk Road. Ge Jianxiong emphasized that there is no direct connection between the two. The "Belt and Road" is the abbreviation of the "Silk Road Economic Belt" and "21st Century Maritime Silk Road". Borrowing the historical symbols of the ancient Silk Road, it actively develops economic partnerships with countries along the route to jointly create political mutual trust and economy. Integration and culturally tolerance community, community of destiny, and responsible community. In fact, the "Belt and Road" is an innovation of the ancient Silk Road.

Since the history of history is in accordance with the history of the Silk Road, how to turn historical and cultural heritage into real urban wealth. Ge Jianxiong believes that Xi'an is not like Beijing. From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, some culture is continuous. For example, many universities constructed during the period of the Republic of China were still there. The biggest problem in Xi'an is that after the Tang Dynasty, culture was interrupted. If you want to inherit, how to accept people is the first consideration. Just like the Hollywood blockbuster in the United States, Japanese anime games, and the historical culture of Xi'an wants to go out and attract more people, it needs to rely on cultural products to subtly convey the value of culture.

In addition, Ge Jianxiong gave suggestions on Xi'an's development in the modern "Belt and Road". He believes that in terms of economy, Xi'an has an important position in the “Belt and Road”. Xi'an has important resources in the construction of Huaxia and the construction of the “Belt and Road”, but this does not mean that it can be at ease. This still requires innovation, and behind the innovation is a test of talents. When you look back at the glorious history, you have to look at the present down -to -earth, so that you can welcome the future with confidence.

After this speech, Ge Jianxiong also made further exchanges with the audience how to do the local cultural products of Xi'an, how to find the Chinese civilization of Changan, and carry forward the traditional culture. He believes that for the development of cultural and creative products, it must be clearly sold for who sells to, where to sell, and then add the cultural elements of the product. Each detail must show cultural meanings. He also pointed out that looking at the country, the cultural and creative marketing of the Forbidden City is relatively successful.

For the inheritance of traditional culture, Ge Jianxiong explained the words separately. He believes that "biography" must be kept and recorded as complete as possible, and "Cheng" must have a choice. Those who meet the cultural background of the times should be transformed innovatively. Speaking of how to carry forward traditional culture, he personally believes that traditional culture is never a popular culture, so it cannot be popular.

Many audiences said that this has benefited them in such cultural communication in the context of the "Belt and Road" initiative. If it is not such a lecture, it may only be on the surface for history and culture. The changes in Xi'an in the past two years have also brought a lot to many New Xi'an people at the scene. In their mouths, through such a communication with the top Chinese scholars, it can not only feel the charm of historical ancient capital culture, but also feel a sense of pride as a New Xi'an, and to build a sense of mission to build New Xi'an.
