Recently, the Yangtze River National Cultural Park is also about to come out. The construction of national cultural parks is a strategic work of cultural construction in the new era, and a major cultural project related to the construction of a cultural power and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In order to deepen the understanding of the cultural value and promotion path of the construction of the National Cultural Park, this newspaper interviewed Han Ziyong, president of the China Academy of Arts and general coordinator of the Expert Advisory Committee on the Construction of the National Cultural Park.
In the form of a national cultural park, large structures are marked,
Historical context and spiritual resources for large themes
◎ China Art News: Please talk about the relationship between the new era and the construction of the national cultural park.
● Han Ziyong: The Great Wall culture, the Yellow River culture, the Grand Canal culture, the long march spirit, the Yangtze River culture, these long-standing references, today are used as a big theme, a big structure, with the national cultural park to name, plan, build and promote, it is timely. This shows our party's high degree of cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence in the new era. The new era is the era of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, is the era of opening the comprehensive construction of a socialist modern country with Chinese characteristics, these large structures, big themes of the historical context and spiritual resources, in the overall image, in the form of a national cultural park, to carry out a comprehensive and systematic inheritance and protection, construction and promotion, creation and transformation, is a new harvest of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, is the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core for the overall pattern of Chinese culture, value construction, Promoting the extraordinary strategic concept put forward by sharing will surely open up a new situation and a new realm for the cultural development of the mainland.
Along the direction of the Yellow River, the Great Wall, the Grand Canal, the Long March, the Yangtze River... It has left the most striking footprint of the Chinese nation. On the vast land, in the long years, this huge, deep, soaked with blood and tears, glorious footprints, crisscrossing and crisscrossing, constitute a capital "guo" character. This is the logo and imprint of national culture and national spirit, the lintel and pillar of our spiritual homeland, the large pile of Chinese culture, the magnificent composition and splendid context of our proud map from the end to the end, horizontal to the edge... From east to west, from north to south, horizontal, vertical, bent hooks, every stroke is brilliant, and every painting is written in the blood of the soul.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was the Great Wall. The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, and the inside and outside of the Great Wall is the hometown. The modern beacon fire "activated" the Great Wall, the Great Wall seems to jump up, the blood boiling, sublimated into the Chinese nation to resist foreign insults, unity and resistance of the spirit of the commonality, the ancient Great Wall has been endowed with new spiritual values, has become the core image of the national anthem of the People's Republic of China; since ancient times, the Yellow River has been a chorus of the spiritual culture of the Chinese nation. The Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation, the birthplace of Chinese culture, and the root and soul of the national spirit. The Yellow River culture has a strong value of the times, the Yellow River, the northern Shaanxi Plateau, is the "foothold" and "starting point" of the Chinese revolution, the Chinese Communists "lead" the "Yellow River Chorus" here, the Chinese revolution here to achieve a great strategic turn, the formation of Mao Zedong Thought, the writing of a hundred years of party history brilliant paragraphs. The Grand Canal is the river of great luck, connecting the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, it is like a huge stalk and a line, balancing the north and south, maintaining unity, and weighing the vastness and weight of the big country. The Long March is a blood line in modern times, faced with unprecedented changes in the past thousand years, the Chinese Communists led the people to break through the siege of the "three mountains", to live to the death, and to phoenix nirvana. The Yangtze River came to the top and went in opposite directions with the Yellow River, like twin brothers and sisters, corresponding to each other and seeking the same breath, constituting the most important polyphonic and harmonic sound in the endless growth of Chinese civilization and historical evolution.

In recent years, Cangzhou Has vigorously promoted the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt, upgraded and transformed the landscape along the canal, so that people can get close to the canal and appreciate the beauty of the canal.

With the Great Wall, the Yellow River, and the Yangtze River as the axis, connecting the Silk Road to the west, it is oasis, desert, snowy mountains, plateau, and Karakoram, to the north, to the north, to the desert south, the nomadic society, the endless cold forest and the tundra belt, to the south to connect the increasingly rich Jiangnan, subtropical society, and the Nansha Islands, to the east is the Grand Canal, and the waves of the sea - this vast field surrounded by screens, the situation is complete, the vast diversity, and the integration and penetration have laid a large-scale natural humanistic gene and foundation for the large structure and volume of pluralism and integration.
The civilization and culture of the Chinese nation, which has been up and down for five thousand years, is like an endless giant of the wasteland, born out of nowhere, cut through thorns and thorns, and is an organism that lives forever in youth. At the beginning, she had two ventricles, two lung lobes, and two kidneys, and there were strong flesh, blood, bones, and meridians that were constantly growing and densely packed; there was the restless vitality that was hidden deep and far away, there was the breathing of "wild horses, dust also", there was the core area with the fiercest burning, the most powerful firepower, and the highest temperature, and there were smelting, crystallization, molding, and growth, and the origin and crucible that were secretly revealed, and these origins and crucibles were in the national cultural park marked by General Secretary Xi Jinping.
A large field must have a big structure, a big structure must give birth to a big function, and a big function must become a big destiny. The orientation, rhythm and strength of historical forces, the layout, function and mechanism of the civilization structure, the openness, casting and innovation of the value system, the straight or nine-curved ileum of the avenue, the sublimation and iteration of time and again, or the simplicity and rigidity or lingering compassion, the line and the line, the repetition, the plurality of arches. This diverse, multi-regional, complex and sustainable large system is a heavy petal flower, a doubling of the amount, a pair of pairs, a heavy color of the brushwork, a splash of ink again and again, through its changes, its numbers, its momentum, and the magnificent composition, forming a "Chinese interaction circle", forming a spiritual and cultural ever-changing and unbreakable mortise structure, and forming a sense of the Chinese national community.
General Secretary Xi Jinping personally planned that the whole country should work together to promote the construction of the national cultural park, that is, to strengthen the shortcomings of "soft power", replenish the calcium of spiritual culture, and meet the people's yearning for a better life.
Solving the problem of unbalanced and inadequate cultural development,
Promote high-quality cultural development,
To meet the people's yearning for a better life,
Achieve the goal of a cultural power
◎ China Art News: Please talk about the "new" embodiment of the construction of the National Cultural Park in the new era?
● Han Ziyong: This "new" is first of all the new concept of Xi Jinping's new concept of governing the country in the new era, the national cultural park is the first initiative, it is the top-level design of grasping the development law of society and culture, responding to the questions of the times and the people's cultural welfare sites, and it is the top work and important article in the face of "century-old changes", opening a new journey of "the second hundred years", and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
As we all know, cultural work is promoted separately according to administrative divisions, the characteristics and advantages of territorial management in scope, hierarchical management at the level, classified management in content, and industry management in society are more prominent, and a 5-level cultural network has been constructed, from the national level, from the province to the village, this wide-coverage institutional mechanism has well protected the people's cultural rights and interests. Since the reform and opening up, with the rapid growth of the factors of modernity in Chinese society, the flow, change and integration of culture have been increasing, and the requirements for integration, integration, integrity and systematization of institutional mechanisms have become increasingly urgent. General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on the construction of national cultural parks stand on the standpoint of the country, the nation and the people, have a far-sighted vision, highlight the systematic, holistic, comprehensive and forward-looking, and pay special attention to the internal laws, internal structure, context and flow of resources of culture. My experience is that the proposal and construction of national cultural parks is a major breakthrough in the institutional mechanism of culture.
National Cultural Park, the first keyword is "country" - to create a cultural image from the national level, promote cultural construction, inherit excellent culture, promote creative transformation and innovative development, is to think from the history and future of the country, nation, culture, this big vision, the big pattern, beyond a province, a city, a county, a township and a village.
The second key word is "culture", respecting the internal laws of culture, respecting the historical context, and transcending the territory, hierarchy, classification and industry. Culture pays attention to cultural origins, and some influential and representative major cultural contexts, crossing mountains and mountains, passing through prefectures and prefectures, spanning provinces, cities and regions, are external, strategic and overall compared with the management according to regional divisions. Some very important cultural resource points are at the grassroots level, and the hierarchical management ability is not caught. Cultural content classification and grading are very important, but integration and sharing are more important, and more attention should be paid to integration, and the characteristics of Chinese culture are integration, which is applied through the ages. The integration of culture and tourism, the integration of literature and economics, the integration of culture and industry, the deep integration of culture and society, culture and life, culture and people.
The third key word is "park", the main body of culture is the people, the owner of the park is the people, the construction of the national cultural park embodies the people-centered concept, embodied in the purpose of national rejuvenation and happiness for the people, and the design and construction of the national cultural park well reflect this purpose.
The Yellow River National Cultural Park, the Great Wall National Cultural Park, the Grand Canal National Cultural Park, the Long March National Cultural Park, and the Yangtze River National Cultural Park cover the vast majority of provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. The construction of a national cultural park is of great significance to solving the problem of unbalanced and insufficient cultural development, promoting high-quality cultural development, satisfying the people's yearning for a better life, and realizing the goal of cultural power.
Our Party in the Yellow River Basin,
In particular, the spiritual candlelight of the northern Shaanxi Plateau,
Based on the 5,000-year history of China,
It has injected the blood of youth into the ancient Chinese civilization
◎ China Art News: Please take the Yellow River Cultural Park as an example to expand and talk about it.
● Han Ziyong: Observing the Yellow River should be placed in the context of the entire oriental civilization. From gathering to farming, from hunting to nomadic herding, it was a fundamental clue to early human development. In the transition from hunting and gathering to farming, a vaguely visible transformation mode often appears in the border area of hills and plains with diverse resources. In China, this area is the edge of the second ladder of the Yellow River, the confluence of Jin, Shaanxi and Yu, that is, the Liangyuan River and the alluvial plain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

The Loess Plateau and the Yellow River Basin are masterpieces of wind and water. The big river is the hotbed of civilization, the Yellow River mud and water, full of potential energy, rushing out of the second ladder into a wandering river, to the south to seize the Huaihuai into the sea, to the north to seize the sea into the sea, like a large open and closed nozzle, shaping the vast North China Plain, but also for the human agricultural revolution to provide a vast, super-large-scale field. China's size was made in heaven and earth from the very beginning.
Small-scale social moments are short and do not care about the center of gravity. The hotbed of super-large-scale civilization, which produces a super-large-scale society, has its own centralized process, forming a center of gravity and center, and the gravitational field of civilization and society appears, just like the gravitational rainbow of all things. The cohesion and centripetal force of Chinese civilization are particularly strong, the cohesion and centripetal force are far greater than its discrete force, and the nebula is constantly adsorbing, digesting and integrating more and more civilizations.
"The universe is flooded, the heavens and the earth are yellow". The ancestors of the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River were the first to regard the world, the surrounding environment, and the land under their feet as the center and starting point of observation, contemplation, and deduction. The "soil" of "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" corresponds to the loess soil under their feet, and the ancestors took metaphors as the center, took metaphors, looked around the world, and thought endlessly, summed up the time, orientation, scale, material, color, structure and appearance of "earliest China" to the greatest extent, established the origin, coordinates and evolution of geography and psychology, such a "centralized paradigm", once established, has not changed for thousands of years, laying a deep historical foundation for the unity of the group, the homogeneity of the homeland and the country, harmony and peace, self-improvement, and patriotism.
The Yellow River is the mother river and the father river, which nurtures us like a mother, and educates and trains us as strictly as a father. The Chinese nation's industriousness, bravery, hard work, pragmatism, sense of distress, and spirit of endurance are inseparable from the severe teachings of the Yellow River. The Yellow River crisscrosses the two areas of farming and nomadism, especially the bend of the "several" characters raised high before entering the North China Plain, which has great significance. The Yellow River is not only a big river for farming, but also a big river for nomadism, tightly holding up the two children of "farming" and "nomadism", so that Chinese civilization presents a geographical basis of "pluralism and integration", and the Yellow River and the parallel Great Wall are also the front and home field of the great integration of the Chinese nation.

The Yellow River and the Great Wall also communicated with the civilization of the Western Regions and gave birth to the Silk Road. "The water of the Yellow River rises from heaven" - where is the sky? "Kunlun" means heaven, and "Kunlun" is a word shared by both agricultural civilizations and nomadic civilizations. The "Collection rhyme" says "Kunlun Heavenly Shape", the ancients called the sky "Vault", and "Kunlun" is the sound of "Vault". "Heaven" refers not only to the heavens of nature, but also to nature, the people, society, ancestors, and all things in the world, representing destiny, the highest justice and authority. This directly led to the emergence of the concept of "one family under heaven" in Chinese, so Kunlun was directly related to the territory and sovereignty of ancient China.
The dome may be directly related to the dome, both of which are round, the dome is a circular felt tent used by the nomadic people in northern China in ancient China, and the words about heaven and day in the two major language families of the Altaic language family mostly use Kun (Kun) as the basis or root. This "Kunlun", this "heaven", all the way to the west, Songshan is heaven, Qinghai Kunlun Mountain is heaven, Qilian Mountain is heaven, Tianshan mountain is heaven, Karakoram is heaven...
The exploration of the source of the river in the past generations has been very interesting, where is the source of the river? It extends as far as Karakoram: "The source of the Han Dynasty is poor, the source of the river is from Khotan, its mountains are jade, it is mined, the ancient books of the Tianzi case, and the mountains from the famous river are known as Kunlun Clouds." Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions and also shouldered the responsibility of finding the source of the river, and Emperor Wu of han contacted "the river out of Kungang" and "the jade out of Kungang", named the mountain produced in Khotanese jade "Kunlun", and woven the Tarim River and Lop Nur into one.
The Yellow River is very great, originating from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, stringing together the Central Plains culture, western culture, northern nomadic culture, and through the Grand Canal, and the Yangtze River culture into one, the Yellow River is the beginning of Chinese civilization, is the first eye.

◎ China Art News: Please talk about the era value of the Yellow River culture.
● Han Ziyong: The center of gravity of the Chinese revolution, from south to north, after the Long March, the Central Red Army reached northern Shaanxi, the Loess Plateau became a spiritual highland, Yan'an became a revolutionary holy land, and the ancient Yellow River culture was injected with revolutionary spirit and the blood of youth. The Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China established the guiding position of Mao Zedong Thought, and the four volumes of the Selected Works of Mao Zedong contained a total of 159 articles, of which more than 90 were written in cave dwellings on the Loess Plateau, accounting for nearly 58% of the total. During this period, he wrote military works such as "On the Tactics of Opposing Japanese Imperialism," "Strategic Problems of China's Revolutionary War," and "On Protracted War," analyzing the laws of war, formulating revolutionary strategies, and drawing up blueprints for the national democratic revolution. During this period, he wrote theoretical masterpieces analyzing the general situation of the world, such as "The Status of the Communist Party of China in the National War" and "The Problem of Independence and Self-Determination in the United Front", expounded the thinking of the united front, and guided the national democratic revolution. During this period, he wrote such famous ideological and cultural articles as "The May Fourth Movement," "The Communists' Speeches," and "Speech at the Yan'an Literary and Art Forum," which pointed out the future of revolutionary literature and art and the direction of the youth movement, and stimulated the climax of revolutionary literature and art. During this period, he wrote "On New Democracy" and "On Coalition Government" and other works that systematically expounded the politics, economy, and culture of New Democracy, planning the revolutionary road and guiding the revolutionary ship. During this period, he wrote affectionate articles on mourning chronicles such as "Commemorating Bethune", "Serving the People", and "Foolish Men Moving Mountains", which vividly conveyed the original mission of the Communists and revealed the ambitions of the Communists. During this period, he wrote down such rectification documents as "Transforming Our Study," "Rectifying the Party's Work Style," and "Eight Shares of the Opposition Party," which transformed the party style, literary style, and study style, and made our party's work style clean and upright and vigorous. Especially during this period, he even wrote the famous philosophical articles "The Theory of Contradictions" and "Theory of Practice" of the Sinicization of Marxism, grasped the bull nose of "methodology", and fundamentally solved the difficult road problem of the Chinese revolution. It opened up the road of the Chinese revolution, realized the strategic turning point of the Chinese revolution, and formed Mao Zedong Thought, which was the first great leap in the integration of Marxism with Chinese practice.
In the spirit of Yan'an, the spirit of Zhang Side and the spirit of Bethune appeared, and after the founding of New China, the spirit of Jiao Yulu and the spirit of Hongqiqu appeared. The spiritual candlelight of our party in the Yellow River Basin, especially on the northern Shaanxi Plateau, is based on china's five-thousand-year history and has injected the blood of youth into the ancient Chinese civilization. In the revolutionary practice of northern Shaanxi, our party has turned the barren and lonely northern Shaanxi plateau into a splendid and splendid plateau, which was a period of great spiritual gushing, and gave birth to the "Yellow River Chorus," "The White-Haired Girl," "Little Two Black Marriage," and a large number of revolutionary songs adapted from folk songs in northern Shaanxi, all of which have become red classics that have penetrated deep into the national marrow.
◎ China Art News: Please talk about the "same" and "different" construction plans of these national cultural parks.
●Han Ziyong: The "Great Wall, Grand Canal, Long March National Cultural Park Construction And Protection Plan" issued by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council, and the "Great Wall National Cultural Park Construction and Protection Plan", "Grand Canal National Cultural Park Construction and Protection Plan" and "Long March National Cultural Park Construction and Protection Plan" issued by the National Cultural Park Construction Leading Group, consistently implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era and implement the new development concept. In particular, General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on cultural work and the spirit of important speeches during investigation and investigation.
The culture of the Great Wall, the Culture of the Yellow River, the Culture of the Grand Canal, the Spirit of the Long March, and the Culture of the Yangtze River are all great works of the Emperor who are connected and compatible, and each has its own characteristics and emphases, and it is not easy to truly understand and grasp it, and the specific practice of the construction of the National Cultural Park is even more complicated. The most fundamental thing is to adhere to the guidance of Marxism and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and in accordance with the contents and requirements of the "Great Wall, Grand Canal, and Long March National Cultural Park Construction and Protection Plan", "Grand Canal National Cultural Park Construction and Protection Plan", "Long March National Cultural Park Construction and Protection Plan", seek truth from facts, respect the law, adapt to local conditions, abide by the integrity and innovation, and work creatively to avoid uniformity.
