Yesterday, at the second conference center of CESI, nearly 20 experts and scholars, professors, entrepreneurs, artists, financial workers and youth representatives of the Strategy Advisory Committee of CESI experts discussed the prospects of Cooperation between Russia, Mongolia and the future cooperation in preparation for the Beijing Winter Olympics. After the seminar, the China Qisi Art Troupe performed Peking Opera and other cultural programs for everyone.
Li Xiangyang, former Consul General of China in Mongolia, gave a comprehensive introduction to the history and today of Russia and Mongolia, making everyone full of confidence in the future.
I was in charge of the record on the spot, and what impressed me the most yesterday was the Russian national emblem, consul General Li said that the Russian national emblem is the national emblem of the Ivan the Terrible era before the October Revolution, with the two-headed eagle as the pattern.
The double-headed golden eagle on the national emblem has two heads, looking majestically to the east and west, representing that Russia is a country that spans two continents, Asia and Europe, one looks to the east and the other looks to the west; the three crowns symbolize that the country is a unified Russian Federation; the golden ball and scepter symbolize the unity of the country as a sacrosanct right; and on the small shield in the center, the warrior St. George (the patron saint of Russia) stepped on a white horse and killed the dragon with a spear, symbolizing the spirit of the Russian nation not forgetting history, carrying forward the past, and having the courage to fight against all difficulties and enemies.
Consul General Li also introduced the origin of the national emblem, saying that the origin of the two-headed eagle dates back to the 15th century AD. The two-headed eagle was originally the emblem of Constantine I of the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantine Empire, which once spanned the two continents of Europe and Asia, looked to the west at one end and the east at the other, symbolizing the unity between the two continents and the unity of the peoples.
In 1453, the once glorious Byzantine Empire was destroyed by the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI was heroically killed. His two younger brothers, one submitted to the Ottoman Empire and the other fled to Rome with two sons and daughters, Sophia Paleologue. Later, the two sons and daughters were raised by the Pope after their father's death.
In order to use Russia's military power to resist the Turks, the Roman politicians at that time married Sophia to Ivan III, Grand Duke of Moscow. Sophia thus came to Russia wearing the two-headed eagle emblem of the majesty of the Byzantine Empire. Sophia assisted ivan III in essentially uniting the russian lands to form a vast and unified state.
In 1479, the double-headed eagle first appeared on the Russian national seal as a state emblem, and in 1882 Tsar Alexander II fixed the form of the double-headed golden eagle coat of arms until it was abolished by the Soviet government of the October Revolution in 1917.
Consul General Lee also told many stories about Russia and Mongolia, many of which I heard for the first time, which was really eye-opening and beneficial.
After the seminar, under the leadership of Ji Dongming, the head of the group, the artists performed Peking Opera, Huangmei Opera and Saxophone Solo.
