Micro-observation of current politics makes the historical context better passed down.

"What I care about most is the most precious thing left by Chinese civilization through vicissitudes. Our culture continues to flow and then pass on, and these treasures left behind must be taken care of and cherished by all means. " Not long ago, when visiting the Central General Hall of China National Edition Pavilion, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said earnestly.

Treasures are collected in museums, written in ancient books and displayed on the vast land. For these cultural relics and cultural heritages bearing the genes and blood of the Chinese nation, the Supreme Leader General Secretary cherishes them.

From the inheritance of cultural heritage to the protection of natural heritage, from strengthening the protection and utilization of material cultural heritage to stimulating the innovation vitality of intangible cultural heritage … … The general secretary cares about and promotes the protection of cultural and natural heritage from the strategic height of retaining cultural roots and keeping the soul of the nation.

June 10th this year is Cultural and Natural Heritage Day. Let’s follow the supreme leader’s "cultural footprint" and realize his earnest expectations for inheriting and protecting historical and cultural heritage and natural heritage and promoting the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization.

Pay attention to a mountain — — Message "This article should be done well"

The purpose of applying for the World Heritage is to better protect and utilize it. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has given important instructions to "carefully protect the cultural heritage left by our ancestors so that the historical context can be better passed down".

On the evening of December 1, 1999, Wuyishan City, Fujian Province was in a festive and lively atmosphere.

At the 23rd World Heritage Conference held in Morocco, Wuyishan was listed in the World Heritage List, which became the fourth double heritage of world culture and nature in China, and also achieved a breakthrough of zero world heritage in Fujian Province.

The next day, the supreme leader of the then acting governor sent a letter to the Wuyishan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, congratulating the success of the application.

“‘ World cultural and natural heritage ’ This intangible value is immeasurable, and it has far-reaching significance for the future development of Wuyishan tourism, and it will soon bring a tourism boom. " Half a month later, the supreme leader went to Nanping for investigation, spoke highly of Wuyishan’s "Double World Heritage" and encouraged "this article should be done well".

At the end of 1990s, Wuyishan, which is "a wonder in the southeast", began to declare the World Heritage. At that time, the deputy secretary of the provincial party Committee and the supreme leader paid close attention to the progress of the declaration and actively coordinated and promoted the relevant work.

△ On March 22, 2021, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader was in Zhu Xi Garden, Wuyishan, Nanping, Fujian, to learn about Zhu Xi’s life and neo-Confucianism.

At that time, many people thought that Wuyi Mountain’s application for the World Heritage might be to obtain natural heritage, and it might not be able to get the cultural heritage in the vast cultural ocean of the world.

The site of Seoul, a city village with a heavy history, is an important part of the application for the World Heritage. It can be said that it is precisely because of the ancient Seoul that Wuyishan’s "Double World Heritage" was created. In the process of applying for the World Heritage, the Fujian Provincial Department of Culture began to build the Fujian-Vietnam Wangcheng Museum to undertake the protection and management of the Seoul ruins in Chengcun. The Fujian Provincial Party Committee Organizational Committee, headed by the Supreme Leader, actively supported it.

△ Minyue Wangcheng Museum. The site of Seoul has a history of more than 2,200 years, and it is the largest and best-preserved city site of the Han Dynasty found in southern China so far.

With the concerted efforts of all parties concerned, the site of Chengcun Seoul passed the inspection and was praised as "Pompeii City of China" by the UNESCO World Heritage Delegation.

World heritage should not only be used, but also protected. The supreme leader is very concerned about the protection of Wuyi Mountain’s "Double World Heritage". In December, 2001, he made a special trip to inspect the ruins of Seoul, Wuyishan City Village, and told him that "ancient Seoul is a cultural national treasure, which should be carefully studied and rationally developed" and that "development should follow scientific laws and form a research trend of sustainable development".

Based on this, the archaeological excavation of Seoul site has been continuously increased. In December 2013, Chengcun Seoul Archaeological Site Park was included in the second batch of national archaeological site parks. At the end of last year, the park was successfully selected into the list of national archaeological sites parks.

Listen to an epic poem — — Encourage to "carry forward the excellent traditional culture of all ethnic groups"

Manas, handed down from generation to generation, is one of the three major epics of China’s ethnic minorities, which are equally famous as Gesar and Jianger, and it is a classic to praise heroes.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader mentioned this heroic epic many times. During his trip to Xinjiang in July 2022, the Supreme Leader watched the rap show of Manas in the Museum of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

△ On July 13th, 2022, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader was in the Museum of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, together with the inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Manas.

"How long can you sing?" The general secretary asked with a smile.

"I can’t finish singing all day and all night." Jiang Nur, the inheritor and herder of Manas, replied.

"I can only sing for 60 minutes." The 14-year-old apprentice who had been studying art since he was 3 years old was ashamed.

"It’s not easy!" The general secretary said to the teenagers, "The younger generation should be well trained, and the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage should be better strengthened to carry forward the excellent traditional culture of all ethnic groups."

"Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"I want the whole world to know about Manas." Jiang Nur’s eyes are full of longing.

"Is to spread to the world. They are not only ethnic minorities, but also precious wealth in the treasure house of Chinese culture. Chinese culture should better communicate and learn from other cultures. The CPC Central Committee attaches importance to and supports this work. " The general secretary said affirmatively after listening.

Because China has been making continuous efforts to protect intangible cultural heritage, Manas, which once faced the crisis of loss, has revived. In recent years, Manas has not only been translated into many languages and widely published, but also operas based on it have been staged many times. This heroic epic has entered a broader cultural field.

When visiting ethnic minority areas, the Supreme Leader General Secretary often pays attention to the protection and inheritance of ethnic minority cultures — — Learn about the texture of Tibetan carpets in Qinghai, ring Wa wooden drums in Yunnan, and attend a blessing ceremony in Inner Mongolia.

△ On January 27th, 2014, at the winter "Five Livestock Blessing" ceremony in Nadam, Baoligen Sumu (township), Xilinhot City, Inner Mongolia, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader dipped his ring finger in fresh milk in a silver bowl and played it three times in accordance with Mongolian customs, wishing good weather, prosperity of five animals and happiness and well-being of the people in the coming year.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Chinese civilization is profound and has a long history, and it is formed by the confluence of excellent cultures of all ethnic groups."

It is the fertile soil of multi-ethnic culture rooted in harmony but different that has contributed to the everlasting Chinese culture. This is the important wisdom that Chinese civilization has become the only civilization in the world that has not been interrupted and has developed to this day.

Investigating a Temple — — Admonish "to strengthen cultural self-confidence"

"A father and son three-word guest, four people through the ages." In Meishan city, the streets and lanes are full of profound cultural atmosphere because of the three Soviet fathers and sons.

On June 8 last year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader who visited Sichuan walked into Sansu Temple.

Front hall, dining hall, Qixian Hall, Laifengxuan … … The general secretary walked all the way to think.

△ Sansu Temple

"A drop of water can see the sun, and a Sansu Temple can see the profoundness of our Chinese culture. We say that we should strengthen our cultural self-confidence, and China has ‘ Sansu ’ This is an important example. " The general secretary said with emotion.

From cultural self-confidence to road self-confidence, he said: "The Chinese nation has a long history of civilization of more than 5,000 years, and we are leading the people along the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. We must be good at learning the ideas and thinking of governing the country from the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and learn from all the outstanding achievements of civilization in the world. We must not be closed and rigid, and we must not take foreign things as the standard. "

The road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics came out under the guidance of Marxism, and it also came out from the history of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years.

At the recent symposium on cultural inheritance and development, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly pointed out: "Why is our socialism different? Why can it be full of vitality? The key lies in the characteristics of China, and the key to the characteristics of China lies in ‘ Two combinations ’ 。” “‘ The second combination ’ It is another ideological emancipation that allows us to make full use of the valuable resources of Chinese excellent traditional culture in a broader cultural space and explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations. "

△ Interior of "Wenhan Pavilion" in the Central General Pavilion of China National Edition Pavilion. On the dome of the starry sky is an astronomical map of stone carvings in the Song Dynasty, which conveys the meaning of "Wenhan Pavilion": Chinese civilization is as vast and bright as the starry sky.

Chinese civilization endows Chinese-style modernization with profound connotation, and Chinese-style modernization endows Chinese civilization with modern strength.

In the decade of the new era, with the attention and guidance of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, China’s cultural and natural heritage protection has been developing continuously — —

China has 56 world heritages, ranking second in the world in total.

Up to now, China has identified more than 100,000 non-legacy representative projects at all levels. Forty-three projects are listed on the UNESCO Intangible Heritage List, ranking first in the world.

By the end of 2021, more than 2.7 million copies of ancient books had been registered, more than 3.85 million pieces of ancient books had been restored, and 17 national and industrial standards for the protection of ancient books had been formulated and promulgated.

At present, China has announced 140 national historical and cultural cities and 6,819 traditional villages in China; There are more than 36,000 immovable revolutionary cultural relics in China, and more than 1 million movable revolutionary cultural relics in state-owned collections.

Only by not forgetting the original can we create the future.

As the general secretary said: "The best inheritance of history is to create a new history; The greatest respect for human civilization is to create a new form of human civilization. "

On the new journey, the sons and daughters of China will strengthen their cultural self-confidence, take on the mission and work hard to create a new culture belonging to our time and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation.
