Shanghai culture everyone talked about | experts in Beijing and Shanghai hotly discussed the use of red culture, Shanghai culture, Jiangnan cultural resources

Ma Xueqiang, researcher of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences:

Combing the evolution of red culture, Shanghai culture and Jiangnan culture in Shanghai, there must be a "main line" that can be penetrated. During the agricultural period, Shanghai was located in the corner of the sea, generally on the outskirts of the Jiangnan cultural circle; after that, with the growth of modern Shanghai, it became the center of Jiangnan. The Chinese Communist Party was founded in Shanghai and is closely linked to the character and character of the city. Under the new situation, it is necessary to adapt the red culture, Shanghai culture and Jiangnan culture to contemporary culture and coordinate with modern society, so as to provide unique cultural resources for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.

Professor Ye Shuxian of Shanghai Jiao Tong University:

I once talked about two traditional cultural keywords in my graduate class: "social welfare" and "spirit". "She" refers to the worship of land, "Ji" refers to millet, and "yellow land plus millet" constitutes the first material foundation of the Yellow River civilization. "Jing" refers to the spirit of rice, that is, the life force belief that gave birth to rice farming in the southern water towns; "God" is a broader concept of worship, which can refer to all supernatural forces. The combination of spirit and god is the unique invention of Zhuangzi, a water townman in the south. The southern water village culture not only values the material on which it depends for survival, that is, the spirit of rice growth, but also attaches great importance to the human spirit cultivated on the basis of rice cultivation culture.

Professor Bao Weimin of Chinese University:

The most important geographical feature of the Gangnam region is watery. Gangnam is a water town. After more than a thousand years of transformation and development of wetlands, the entire Jiangnan region has intersected rivers, and people live by water and walk by boat. Before modern times, there were dozens of types of boats in the rural areas of Jiangnan, and the layout of villages and towns was centered on the river. However, the water in Jiangnan is not a big river and sea, which also shapes a typical character trait of the people of Jiangnan: water spirit and not extravagant.

Professor Li Tiangang of Fudan University:

In recent years, talking about the close relationship between The Hai school culture and Jiangnan culture has mostly pointed to the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, and the topics naturally focus on "geographical proximity, personal affinity, financial resources, similar dialects, similar customs" and so on. The phenomenon of integration is both obvious and important. However, as far as the historical origin is concerned, on the issue of the inheritance of Jiangnan culture and Haipai culture, there is still the modern development of the latter for the former, that is, in addition to identity, there are also differences in the times. The Haipai culture not only inherited, but also developed, transformed and upgraded the Jiangnan culture.

Professor Wang Haijun of Chinese University:

History flows endlessly, and the spirit is passed on from generation to generation. The radiative characteristics of Shanghai's red culture are especially reflected in the inheritance of the revolutionary spirit. From the great spirit of party building, to the spirit of Jinggangshan, the spirit of the Soviet Union, the spirit of the Long March, the spirit of Yan'an, and the spirit of Xibaipo, a series of great spirits are essentially in line with the spirit of great party building. As a result, Shanghai's red culture, which is full of revolutionary enterprising and pioneering and innovative spirit, will continue to play an important exemplary and leading role in the new journey.
