From the exquisite and clanging "I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City" to the "National Treasure" that touches history and dialogues with historical treasures; from the "Poetry Conference" that explores the charm of thousands of years of literary context, to the "China in the Classics" that "makes the classics come alive" through historical bamboo, the frequent appearance of these programs all shows that in today's ever-changing and vicissitudes, the Chinese national culture and history are still full of vigorous and rich vitality, waiting for only a time to bloom.
At this moment, the young generation is filled with a fiery torch about the classics of traditional Chinese studies, historical treasures, and national civilization.
Cultural self-confidence in the blood of the nation
"The national is the world" is the best interpretation of the most sought after cultural programs at present.
Just like "Tianxingjian" and "Terrain Kun", cultural inheritance makes cultural self-confidence arise spontaneously - "cultural self-confidence is a more basic, broader and deeper self-confidence." ”
At the same time, it is precisely because of the "more basic, broader and deeper" characteristics of cultural self-confidence that cultural self-confidence produces "more basic, deeper and more lasting" forces, and achieves "more basic, deeper and more lasting" effects.
Therefore, the new era calls for more cultural self-confidence and more cultural strength.
In other words, in recent years, more and more cultural programs have broken the circle, which is also clearly reflected in this "appeal". And this "appeal" is still continuing - calling for the emergence of more excellent programs, with its far-reaching Chinese culture and national spirit, inherit the self-confidence of Chinese national culture, and carry forward the excellent cultural strength of China.

The cultural self-confidence behind the Qilu civilization
The German philosopher Jaspers wrote in the book "The Origin and Goal of History": Between 800 BC and 200 BC is the "axis era" of human civilization, China, India, and the West have independently completed a structurally similar civilization revolution, and the breakthrough period of the human civilization spirit is at this moment.
Locating China, Fu Sinian's book "Yixia East and West Theory" also mentions: "From the Spring and Autumn Period to Wang Mang, the top culture had only one center of gravity, and this center of gravity was Qilu. ”
Landing in Shandong, the sound of history echoing above this surging Qilu hot land, and the cultural heritage can be described as long and profound.
The Yellow River is taotao, which provokes the ancestors to sing the prelude to the three hundred poems, and there are also doves with voices in the river crabs. Walking slowly along the riverbank, the mulberry trees next to the five-acre house are lush and green, the weeping children ride bamboo horses, and the young man with the horn smiles and smiles. In the Palace of Learning, the Analects and the classics of the sages were recited orally, turning into an accumulation of poetry that nourished later generations. Looking around, Taishan, which "overlooks the mountains and is small", has become a majestic and unchangeable "backbone" imprinted in the soul of the nation with the trend of "topless".
Turning the time to modern times, the heroic and fearless historical memorabilia that occurred in Shandong have incorporated the brilliant Qilu culture into the red background: the tragic and magnificent history of the bloody battle Changhong a hundred years ago; the spirit of Yimeng Mountain, which can be sung and wept; and the island city road that inspires industry. Pile by pile, so that Shandong's modern and contemporary history more educational significance and spiritual value.
Now, they are all sleeping peacefully in museums all over Shandong.
For these museums in Shandong that bring together the essence of Qilu culture, under the call of the new era, they are bound to undertake more historical missions, make civilization more dazzling, and make cultural self-confidence more surging.
Using the important position of China's excellent culture - "museums" on heroes, the large and small museums that have "grown" on the basis of Shandong's rich historical and cultural resources have sprung up like mushrooms, and the most concerned among them is 18 national first-class museums.
National first-class museums are the highest level of museums produced by the National Museum Evaluation Committee organized by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage of China through comprehensive evaluation and scoring in various aspects.
It can be said that 18 national first-class museums have fully supported the "ceiling" of Shandong's history and culture, and they have an unshirkable responsibility in highlighting the field of Qilu culture.
The 18 national first-class museums also play an important window role in carrying out foreign cultural exchanges, displaying the charm of Chinese civilization, and disseminating the achievements of world civilization, and should be at the forefront of strengthening the self-confidence of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics.
Culture needs to be interpreted, and it needs to be innovated. On the occasion of the arrival of the 2022 International Museum Day, Interface News planned to launch the "Treasure of the Town Museum - The Power of the Museum" activity to read the Qilu civilization and surging cultural self-confidence.

"The Treasure of the Town Hall – The Power of the Museum"
Walking into Shandong, walking into Qilu, but also into the thick gap of time; discovering the museum, discovering qilu culture, and discovering the last "self" sleeping in the millennium.
From April to May 2022, the special activity of "Treasure of the Town Pavilion - The Power of the Museum" hosted by Interface News and Interface News Shandong Channel was officially launched.
"The ancients did not see the present time and the moon, but this month once looked at the ancients." It can be said that this activity is precisely with the help of the treasure of the town hall, so that today's people can glimpse the sudden changes in the wind and clouds thousands of years ago, glimpse the moon of ancient times, so that today's people can regain the endogenous power from ancestors and culture in this turbulent and modern era.
And that's the power of museums.
Focusing on the construction of special activities, online large-scale special reports tell the stories of the high-quality development of major museums in Shandong to the "audience", as well as the treasures that accompany the museum to stand out in time and shine.
Here, the "Treasures of the Town Hall" series of reports will take the cultural relics in the collections of various museums as the theme, and solve the genetic code of Qilu culture by telling the past and present lives of the "great power heavy weapons".
The "Curator Says" series cuts the camera to a more vivid person - through a deep dialogue with the museum director, from the perspective of the curator to reveal the "untold" secrets of the museum. Let each curator become the leader, tell the story behind the museum and its collections, uncover the details and behind-the-scenes stories that are not noticed when watching the exhibition every day, and show the charm and feelings of the "people" of the museum.
Switching offline, this special topic also has a wonderful activity of great significance. At that time, we will focus on themes such as "the power of museums" and talk about the construction of museums in the new era.
At the end of the event, the project will also plan the open class of the curator and the development of the blind box of the museum's cultural and creative creation. Among them, the open class will invite the curators of 18 national first-class museums in Shandong to give a museum open class for primary and secondary school students and the majority of netizens in the province, leading the public to approach the Qilu Mountains and Rivers thousands of years ago to understand the legendary story behind the national treasure; and the cultural and creative products are to combine the museum with the hottest "blind box culture" at present, so that the museum can close the distance with the public with a "more people-friendly" attitude, enter the public life, dig deep into the cultural IP, and launch cultural and creative products with unique museum characteristics.
By combing through 18 national first-class museums and other outstanding characteristic museums in Shandong, this special event empowers the city with people and things, reconstructs the city landmarks, gives them a new and youthful definition of the museum, and leads the public to discover the beauty of Shandong's museums.
In other words, a young and diverse communication method that we are looking forward to and calling for is emerging, and with the help of this communication method, Shandong museums have begun to tell the history of Qilu in the new era and the brilliant culture in Shandong museums.
To borrow the phrase from National Treasures —
"We're a young show, how young are we?"
"Five thousand years up and down."
