Nanjing Library has produced two wonderful keynote speech videos of the "8th Cross-Strait Xuanlan Forum", the first phase has been launched, and the second phase will be launched soon.
With the theme of "Poetry and Painting - Inheritance and Appreciation of Chinese Poetry and Painting Classics", 12 well-known experts and scholars from both sides of the strait made wonderful speeches, which were conducted in a combination of offline and online, jointly sponsored by Nanjing Library and Taiwan Sinology Research Center, and co-organized with Fangzhi Network.
Jinling Huaigu and Sichuan complex are all in Li Bai's poems
The Internet celebrity Sanxingdui, who has been sleeping for three thousand years and waking up to shock the world, and Nanjing, the "capital of world literature", have the same "spokesperson", that is, Li Bai.
2021 marks the 1320th anniversary of Li Bai's birth. One of the two sub-themes of this year's forum is "Huiying Qianchun - Circulation and Appreciation of Li Bai's Works".
"Li Bai lived in Jinling many times in his life and created a large number of works." Zhan Furui, dean and professor of the School of Chinese Literature at Beijing Foreign Chinese University, said that Li Bai's Jinling Huaigu poems, in addition to borrowing the great achievements of the ancient people and expressing personal pride, are mainly used to express the feelings of life through the vicissitudes of history.
Xiao Lihua, professor of the Department of Chinese Literature and Applied Studies and dean of the School of Humanities at Foguang University, talked about "Sanxingdui" and analyzed Li Baishiwen's Sichuan complex. Li Bai followed his father to settle in Jianghan as a child, and Sichuan was where he grew up. There are obvious differences between the culture of the Central Plains since ancient times, the most well-known of which is the "Sanxingdui" civilization. Li Bai mentioned in the "Shu Dao Difficulty", "Silkworm bushes and fish, the founding of the country is at a loss. Xiao Lihua started from the perspective of the ancient Shu kingdom of "Sanxingdui" and explored the cultural nourishment given by the ancient Shu civilization to Li Bai.
In Li Bai's poem, the phrase "Xiao Xiao Ban Ma Ming" is familiar to many people, but do you know the meaning of "Xiao Xiao" and "Ban Ma"? Chen Jun, director of the Nanjing Library, analyzed that "Xiao Xiao" does not specifically refer to Ma Mingsheng. The whole sentence can be interpreted as, "In the midst of the xiaoxiao wind, the friend's horse wanders around, can't bear to leave, and from time to time makes a hissing sound."
Ten bamboo paintings, novel illustrations, Jinling publishing colorful
Another sub-theme of the forum was "Colorful: The Transformation and Appreciation of Traditional Painting and Engraving".

400 years ago, in the field of printing and publishing in Nanjing, color overprinting made books "colorful". Ma Mengjing, associate professor of the Center for General Studies and the Institute of History of Tsinghua University in Hsinchu, Taiwan, gave a lecture entitled "Ten Bamboo Prints and the Regional Culture of Nanjing in the Late Ming Dynasty". In the late Ming Dynasty, Nanjing Shufang Shizhuzhai published a collection of prints "Ten Bamboo Zhai Calligraphy and Painting Notation" and "Ten Bamboo Zhai Notes", which has an extremely important position in the history of Chinese printmaking and printing. Ma Mengjing analyzed the technological innovations of color overprinting developed by Shizhuzhai.
Ancient novels and operas also have many wonderful illustrations. Yan Yan, deputy head of the Special Collection reading group of ancient books and rare books of the National Library of China and deputy research librarian, gave a lecture on "Illustration of The Opera of the Jinling Edition of the Western Truth". He introduced that Mr. Zheng Zhenduo, Mr. Xidi, has collected more than 600 kinds of music and novels, including many Jinling engravings, and they are the best in Jinling printmaking. "The process of collecting is not easy, and many of them are the hard work of Mr. Li, which fully demonstrates his ability to read books and his habit of loving books as much as life."
