Admire the talents of the wise and listen to the voices of the wise. On April 10, at the 17th Yellow Emperor Cultural Forum, 6 experts and scholars focused on the theme of "Yellow Emperor Culture and the Innovation Mission of Chinese Modernization", closely followed the main line of the times, inherited the cultural roots, and brought a gluttonous cultural feast and a spiritual cleansing journey for everyone, so that the Yellow Emperor culture glows with more dazzling light.
Exploring the essence of Confucianism is the best commemoration of the ancestors of humanities
With the theme of "Confucianism in the Inheritance and Promotion of Traditional Culture", the 17th Yellow Emperor Cultural Forum was opened all day. As soon as he took the stage, Yang Chaoming expressed his high respect to the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of humanity: "I am very touched to have such a special opportunity to pay tribute to our ancestor of humanity, and I am very moved to have the opportunity to learn and relive the fruits of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation here - Confucianism." ”
Yang Chaoming said that from the Yellow Emperor to the Xia and Shang dynasties, the history and culture of ancient times nurtured and nurtured Chinese Confucianism, and the essence of Confucianism in the inheritance and promotion of traditional culture is actually to explore the fruits of the most representative spiritual civilization of the Chinese nation's 5,000-year-old culture, and is the best commemoration of the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of humanity.
"If Chinese civilization is compared to a tree that never ends, then Confucian culture is the backbone of this tree. Yang Chaoming's image metaphor popularized the context and backbone of Chinese civilization for the audience, and systematically expounded the essence and essence of Confucianism in four aspects: "the world is for the public and the pursuit of Chinese cultural ideals and spirituality", "the awareness of political ethics and social rules and management rules", "self-promotion and personal values and cultivation methods", "dual-use and life action plan and thinking guide".
Yang Chaoming said that the characteristics of Confucius's doctrine are that "the ancestors describe Yao Shun, the charter is civil and military", and "only by reading Confucius can we truly understand the vastness of Chinese culture." ”
A "symphony" of tradition and modernity
"I am very happy to return to my hometown Henan to participate in the Yellow Emperor Cultural Forum, I have participated in many forums, but none of them can make me feel so excited. "When I returned to my hometown of Henan, I was extremely excited. He said that the Yellow Emperor was the first of the five emperors in ancient China, known as the ancestor of Chinese humanities, unified China, governed the country in a good way, and cultivated morality.
"The ancient philosophers deeply studied and thought about music, so that the musical spirit of the Chinese nation continues to this day, and affects the spiritual life of modern people. As a musician, Guan Xia's conversation is inseparable from the "old business". He said that in the Book of Songs, "wind" is the local music of different regions, "ya" is the music of the court in the Kyoto area of the Zhou Dynasty, and "song" is the dance music of the kings at that time to perform temple sacrifices.
"Different races, different ways, but love and responsibility are the same. As a musician, Guan Xia learns the excellent traditional Chinese culture in the creation of modern symphony, studies the rich treasures of Chinese folk songs, folk music, opera music, etc., and on this basis, keeps integrity and innovation, adapts and arranges music from ethnic and folk music, and tells Chinese stories well. He has written several well-known operas, such as "The Dawn of Sorrow", "Mulan Psalms", "Cai Wenji", and also wrote a symphonic fantasy "Farewell My Concubine". Guan Xia said that after these works were performed in Europe and the United States, they were well received by many foreign friends, and also allowed them to further understand the history of Chinese civilization and feel the Chinese nation's desire for peace.
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" is the "root" and "root" of Chinese national culture
The Yellow Emperor's Neijing is a classic in the field of traditional Chinese medicine and has rich philosophical wisdom. In my view, the Yellow Emperor's Neijing is still the "root" and "root" of the Chinese culture, the root of the Chinese cultural and philosophical system, and its ideological system is a universal system.
Wang Yin believes that as a large oriental country with a long history of thousands of years, our ancestors have long formed a set of philosophical systems for the universe, heaven and earth, and how people live between heaven and earth, and all these laws and laws are hidden in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing". With the title of "Oriental Philosophy "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", he discussed the origin and context of the Chinese cultural and philosophical system from the perspective of "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", so as to establish the philosophical system of Oriental culture, and explained the profound ideas of philosophy, the internal logical relationship and academic theory of heaven, earth and man with vivid and simple words, and discussed the philosophical system of Chinese culture in simple terms.
In order to let people have a deeper understanding of the classic of Chinese culture "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", Wang Yin has successively compiled and published the books "Wisdom Interpretation of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and "Taoist Interpretation of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing", and also filmed a series of films and television films of "The Philosophical System of Chinese Culture" and "The Theoretical System of Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment", the purpose of which is to tell the world about the philosophical system of Chinese culture in easy-to-understand language.
Continuing the culture of the Yellow Emperor is the mission and responsibility
"Human civilization is broadly divided into agricultural civilization, industrial civilization and ecological civilization. At present, the mission of the times we shoulder is to continue the Yellow Emperor's cultural construction of Chinese-style modernization. Gong Changwei said: In the nearly 100-year history of the Chinese nation, from the old democratic revolution to the new democratic revolution and from the socialist revolution to reform and opening up, the Chinese nation has to solve the problem of modernization. The continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness, and peace of Chinese civilization are the five characteristics of Chinese modernization.
"On the whole, we now attach importance to the development of cultural inheritance to an unprecedented height, and all parts of the country are continuing to strengthen cultural construction. Gong Changwei said that in cultural construction, it is the responsibility of this era to combine the excellent traditional Chinese culture represented by the Yellow Emperor culture with Chinese-style modernization and innovation. Inheritance and innovation must first be inherited, only inheritance can be innovative, and only inheritance can develop. With cultural people, people's moral standards and cultural cultivation can keep up with the development of the times, strengthen the cultural self-confidence of the Chinese nation, and more effectively promote the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics.
View Chinese civilization at the intersection of humanities and sciences
As an architect, in my eyes, everything is connected. His thinking has both the rigorous logic of engineering and technology, and the romance and speculation of humanities.
"Only by inheriting the tradition can we innovate and develop. The cultural and spiritual connotation of the Yellow Emperor is harmonious and symbiotic, and in architecture, it is reflected in the personality characteristics formed in the process of urban historical accumulation, which is the urban architectural style. He Jingtang gave a wonderful talk on the topic of "Region, Culture, Era-Talking about Cultural Inheritance and Architectural Innovation", and he believed that to create an urban architectural style with Chinese characteristics, we should establish a high degree of cultural self-confidence, and the Yellow Emperor's hometown ancestor worship ceremony pointed out the way forward for this self-confidence.
In He Jingtang's view, this style is formed in the interaction of regions, cultures, and times, and uses detailed cultural heritage cases to confirm the view that "it is necessary to inherit excellent local traditional culture, refine the unique cultural characteristics of the region, and focus on modern advanced culture, creatively research and develop local culture, and also pay attention to absorbing and integrating the excellent heritage of world culture, and highlight local individuality in commonality".
He Jingtang also has a double identity, that is, the planner and designer of the second phase of the planning and construction team of the Yellow Emperor's hometown park. At the speech site, he talked about the concept and meaning of park planning and design, building monomer, interior design and garden landscape. He said: "To build the hometown of the Yellow Emperor into a 'holy place for global Chinese to worship their ancestors and the spiritual home of the Chinese nation' is to truly practice the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional culture. ”
Cultivating the "leaves" of Chinese humanities with the "roots" of Chinese culture
With the thoughts of the wise, enlighten the wisdom of the people. With the theme of "Promoting Chinese Culture in the New Era and Helping the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation", it explained "what is Chinese culture", "why Chinese culture" and "where Chinese culture should be".
"If the country is a big tree, the roots are deep to grow. The 'root' here is the Yellow Emperor culture, and every 'leaf' on the big tree is the son and daughter of China. Guo Jiji vividly drew out that "every 'leaf' should become the builder and promoter of its own national culture, which is our unshirkable responsibility as the descendants of Yan and Huang."
Why has Chinese culture become the tireless value pursued by the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation? Guo Jiji said that Chinese culture is the centripetal force and cohesion of the Chinese nation and the spiritual pillar of a nation. She has nurtured Chinese for thousands of years, and has long been internalized into a source of wisdom that constantly forges ahead and overcomes obstacles.
"Chinese culture must take root in the people, face up to human nature, and guide people's hearts, so as to enhance people's wisdom, realm, pattern, and virtue. Guo Jiji believes that we should use the most wonderful wisdom of Chinese culture to continuously cultivate this society, which should become a kind of social consciousness for us, so as to help the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
