"The Eastern Zhou Dynasty came out of KongQiu, and the Southern Song Dynasty had Zhu Xi. Ancient Chinese Culture, Taishan and Wuyi. This is the famous historian Cai Shangsi's evaluation of Zhu Zi, which shows the position of this Confucian giant in the history of Chinese thought and culture.

Under Wuyi Mountain, on the banks of Chongyang Creek. Zhu Xi in northern Fujian "fifty years of qinshu", Kaoting Academy is the place where his lectures end, completed the construction of the final system of rational thought, constructed the neo-Confucianism centered on reason, and achieved innovative development in the agitation of various ideological trends at that time, Confucianism was re-glorified, and northern Fujian was known as "Min bang Zoulu" and "Daonan Li Grotto", becoming a world-famous science town.

The Slovaks are gone, and the strings and songs are not stopped.

On the 27th, the first Kaoting Forum opened at the Nanping Grand Theater, and more than 20 experts and scholars in the field of Zhuzi studies in China said "theory" to discuss how to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Zhuzi culture and activate the vitality of China's excellent traditional culture with the spirit of the times.

Activate the vitality of Chinese civilization

The "Resolution of the CPC Central Committee on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party's Century-Long Struggle" deliberated and adopted by the Sixth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out: China's outstanding traditional culture is the outstanding advantage of the Chinese nation and the foundation for us to stand firm in the turmoil of world culture, and it must be inherited and carried forward in light of the conditions of the new era.

Professor Zhang Zhiqiang, director and doctoral supervisor of the Institute of Philosophy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, expressed the hope that the study of Zhu Zixue can be deeply integrated with the comprehensive practice of contemporary China to promote development.

The old learning is discussed more densely, and the cultivation of new knowledge becomes deeper.

As an important part of Chinese civilization, how to make Zhuzi culture constantly innovate and transform and regain its glory is the focus of attention of experts and scholars. "Zhuzi philosophy is an ancient model of seeking truth and being pragmatic, and it is consistent with the Marxist materialist spirit and the spirit of seeking truth from facts in the core." In the view of Yang Lihua, professor and doctoral supervisor of the Department of Philosophy of Peking University, the breakthroughs and explorations of all great philosophical theories are not the remnants of ancient society, but the contemporary nature and era value of Zhu Zi's science are reflected here, "Zhu Zi made a comprehensive summary of the inherent accumulation of Chinese civilization in his era, and the universal rationality of mankind was embodied in its combination with the specific era to obtain a new form."

"The relationship between man and nature and the relationship between man and society, which Zhu Zi proposed as early as a thousand years ago, still profoundly inspires us today." Li Xin, former vice president of the Fujian Academy of Social Sciences, commented.

With the excavation of the excellent essence of Zhuzi culture, it has become a common practice to be reasonable and reverent. At present, a total of 29 schools in Nanping have carried out activities to create Zhuzi cultural characteristics, and the local curriculum teaching materials of "Zhuzi Culture" have been tried by a total of 20,000 students in the province; the "Zhuzi Culture Concise Reader" and the "Zhuzi Honest Government Culture Reader" have been issued to cover the cadres of party and government organs, enterprises and institutions in Nanping and some college students.

Launch zhuzi culture brand IP

"Nanping is a city oriented by green development, excavating cultural value is an important direction on the road to development, and the cultural industry, as a 'smoke-free industry', not only meets local needs, but also has a lot of market space." Lei Xiying, a researcher at the Research Center for Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and World Affairs at the Communication University of China, returned to her hometown and pointed out a new path for Nanping to build a demonstration cultural IP.

Since the end of 2015, Lei Xiying has been invited by the Organization Department of the Nanping Municipal Party Committee and the Youth League Municipal Committee to lead the "Big Talk Xi Tour" project, introduce new media culture and traffic resources, and create a cute "cartoon Zhuzi" image, which has been warmly welcomed by many young people.

The project has launched a series of 60 animated short films to promote traditional culture, with a cumulative online playback of more than 300 million times. Not only that, "Cartoon Zhuzi" has also actively integrated into the "Wuyi Shanshui" public brand, cultural tourism scenic spots and local pillar industries, forming nearly 70 physical IP products.

During this time, Lei Xiying is working with young people on both sides of the strait and the party committee of Wuyishan Wufu Town to jointly promote the construction of cartoon Zhuzi cultural IP town. He said: "The introduction of IP into existing tourism routes can bring tourists an immersive experience of Zhuzi culture. Cultural creativity and rural construction have attracted the attention of young people in Taiwan, and we are confident that creating a demonstration case of young people on both sides of the strait working together to promote rural revitalization will not only expand the space for cross-strait exchanges, but also bring fresh blood to local development. ”

Coincidentally, as a member of the Zhuzi Culture Research Association of Nanping City, Fan Chengzhong, a teacher in Nanping No. 1 Middle School, is also committed to the rejuvenation of Zhuzi culture and has devoted a lot of effort to this end.

"Because traditional folk culture has lost its original soil for social life, it is difficult to naturally form a trend in society. Only by combining the heavy sense of history it contains with the sense of life ritual pursued by young people today can it be revitalized. Fan Chengzhong said. Over the years, he has relied on the local Hanfu society in Nanping to carry out various activities, wearing Hanfu to experience Zhuzi etiquette has become a local characteristic campus activity, And Zhuzi salute has entered more than 20 schools.

In recent years, in more than ten cultural and tourism activities held in various counties and cities in northern Fujian, the interaction between Hanfu elements and Zhuzi culture can be seen, relying on the advantages of pastoral and tea tourism in northern Fujian, Zhuzi is quietly becoming an "old friend" of young people. The local Hanfu society has also developed a series of cultural and creative products such as kaoting Academy three-dimensional model puzzles, Zhuzi doll ornaments, Zhuzi deep clothes, etc., which are deeply loved by young people.

In the interval between the forums, the reporter noticed the upcoming Daonan Hanfu Cultural Experience Hall in Kaoting College, which will realize the functions of Hanfu leasing and shooting, "Zhuzi Four Rites" display and experience, traditional culture training, and the holding of traditional festivals and folk activities.

Create a benchmark for the inheritance of excellent traditional culture

Wufu Hometown, Wuyi Jingshe, Kaoting Academy... The rich cultural relics of Zhuzi in Nanping City impressed the experts and scholars who participated in the investigation and research.

Nanping is the area with the highest concentration of Zhuzi cultural relics in Fujian Province. In recent years, Nanping has invested more than 300,000 yuan in special investigation funds to systematically sort out the zhuzi cultural relics in the jurisdiction and compile a book. According to statistics, there are currently 140 Zhuzi relics registered, including 2 national-level cultural security units, 11 provincial-level cultural security units, and 23 movable Zhuzi cultural relics in the collection, which can be described as "counties and counties have Zhuzi and there are relics everywhere".

How to string beads into a chain and plan the inheritance and development of Zhuzi culture at a higher level is a must-answer question in front of Nanping.

"Taking Zhuzi Shecang in Wuyishan Wufu Town as an example, it highlights ZhuZi's people-oriented thinking and practice of common prosperity, and is a valuable relic that can speak out about Zhuzi thought." Zhao Jingang, associate professor and doctoral supervisor of the Department of Philosophy of Tsinghua University, shared his feelings in his speech on the theme of Zhu Ziren,000 and also pointed out the advantages of Nanping City's inheritance of Zhuzi culture. "No matter from the perspective of hardware and software, Nanping City has developed rapidly in the inheritance and protection of Zhuzi culture in recent years, and the next step can be based on the excavation of Zhuzi cultural value to create Nanping's own cultural brand." Zhao Jingang said.

As one of the forum venues, Kaoting College is located in the center of "Zhonghua Academy Grand View Garden", a zhuzi cultural heritage highland built in Nanping City. At present, Nanping has planned 29 Zhuzi cultural construction projects in 5 categories, with a total planned investment of 6.878 billion yuan, through the creation of the Zhuzi Cultural and Ecological Protection Zone, the implementation of the "one district and five projects" of five projects of protection, academic, dissemination, indoctrination and exchange, forming a "science and culture corridor" that reproduces the footprints of Zhu Zi's life. This year, Nanping City set up a leading group for the inheritance and development of Zhuzi culture, and a special class promoted the inheritance and protection of Zhuzi culture, focusing on creating a benchmark for the inheritance and development of excellent traditional culture.

"We will take this forum as an opportunity to bring together the wisdom of experts and scholars at home and abroad and Zhuzi culture enthusiasts, deeply excavate the profound connotation and contemporary value of the excellent traditional culture of northern Fujian such as Zhuzi culture, further build a platform for the inheritance and promotion of Zhuzi culture and a carrier for materialization and activation, and create the most distinctive, authoritative and influential Zhuzi cultural relics, research highlands, exchange bases and industrial depressions." At the same time, combined with the opportunity of Wuyishan being rated as a national park, we actively planned to promote the listing of Nanping as a cultural special zone, and gradually realized the transformation of historical and cultural values into cultural product values. Lin Bin, chairman of the Nanping Municipal CPPCC Committee and head of the Zhuzi Cultural Inheritance and Development Leading Group, said. (Reporters Zhao Jinfei, Jiang Fengman, Lai Haotuo)
