The construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt in the "Double Cycle" view

At present, the new development pattern of the development pattern of domestic large cycles and the mutual promotion of domestic and international dual cycles has accelerated. China is reshaping the relationship between the Chinese nation and the world at an unprecedented speed, breadth, and depth. The grand theme of the times cannot be separated from strong spiritual support. For thousands of years, the Grand Canal has been the main arteries of the inheritance of Chinese civilization, and it is also an important link for different civilizations to learn from each other. The trade exchange, personnel exchanges and information interaction that are attached to the Grand Canal have produced unique Grand Canal culture characterized by openness, compatibility and mutual benefit, and become an important gene to shape Chinese civilization. The so -called culture is related to humanities to turn into the world. The historical value and humanistic concepts of the Grand Canal Culture are compatible with, harmonious symbiosis, and win -win cooperation, and show special practical significance under the new development pattern of "dual -cycle".

The Grand Canal is the transmission gear of the traditional "dual cycle"

From the perspective of internalization of civilization, the continuous Grand Canal runs through the six major cultural circles including Wu Yue, Huaiyang, Central Plains, Qilu, Yan Zhao, and Beijing -Tianjin. Since ancient times, it has been a prosperous, culturally culturally culturally signs, and a distinctive regional logo. Civilized carrier. If the Great Wall is the history of solidification, then the Grand Canal is a flowing culture. In the traditional Chinese regional territory, the Grand Canal runs through the north and south, but also connects things. It is intertwined with the five major water systems such as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River and various types of transportation hubs, which together constitute the main framework of Chinese civilization. Especially before industrial civilization, the Grand Canal was the most important North -South logistics and exchanges, and directly connected to the political, economic and cultural center at that time. Its liquidity and openness have strongly promoted cultural exchanges, promoted national integration, accelerated the aggregation and internalization of Chinese civilization, and helped breed the unified national value identity, provided the generation and development of the subjectivity of the Chinese nation, provided the generation and development of the Chinese nation. The endless cultural offering.

From the perspective of connecting China and foreign countries, the Grand Canal is like a pair of huge arms open, which has lifted a large channel for Chinese civilization and world exchanges. Historically, my country ’s foreign exchanges mainly depend on the two Silk Road,“ Road ”and“ Maritime ”. The former starts with Luoyang and extends to West Asia, South Asia, and even the hinterland of Europe through the Western Regions; the latter goes from Ningbo to the sea, to East Asia, Southeast Asia, to the Middle East and Africa. The Grand Canal meets two Silk Road in Ningbo and Luoyang, respectively, becoming a key hub for personnel, commodity and cultural circulation exchanges between grasslands, deserts, farming, and oceans. Various cultures are absorbed, fused, and culverted by the Grand Canal, and they are integrated with each other in interconnection, and then they continue to change in quantity and quality in content and form. Civilization establishes a community of fate of heterogeneous coexistence, harmony, different, and the United States and the United States due to differentiation.

Therefore, in a sense, the Grand Canal has served as the gear of the "internal circulation" and "external cycle" of the Chinese civilization for a long time. At the same time, the opening of the Canal attributes of the open exchange has paved the spiritual background of the Grand Canal, condensed internally, and exchanged existence. In the process of historical evolution, the Grand Canal and various substances and spiritual contexts attached to it, weaving a huge civilized network, communicating with ancient and modern, connecting the world.

Relying on the Grand Canal to build a cultural axis for the new development pattern

The new development pattern of domestic large cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promotes each other is different from the "closed -door car manufacturing" type of closed cycle, and it is also different from the "big forward" type of export -oriented development. This is a dialectical development strategy of domestic and foreign, foreign, open and autonomy, and inheritance and innovation. If economy is the basis of material civilization, culture is the basis of spiritual civilization. The development of material civilization is inseparable from the support of spiritual civilization, and economic prosperity requires the infiltration and promotion of culture. To build a new development pattern, it is necessary to build a group of cultural axis that can trace self, communicate the world, and carry the future.

The essence of building a new development pattern is to achieve high -level self -reliance. Since the reform and opening up, my country has actively developed an export -oriented economy, accelerated the integration of large international cycles, and achieved the rapid improvement of comprehensive national strength. In the final analysis, national development and national revitalization must be based on their own way, take their own way, rely on independent development, and self -reliance. Culture highlights the heritage and characteristics of the nation, and its confidence, consciousness, and self -introspection are the spiritual roots of the country's self -reliance. Two thousand years up and down, three thousand miles north and south, the Grand Canal arteries connected countless cultural nodes in 8 provinces and 35 cities. Cultural promenade. In the new era, the Grand Canal hooks the most dynamic modern urban circle in China, such as the Yangtze River Delta, Huanghuaihai, and Beijing -Tianjin -Hebei, and its new and old functions such as shipping and water adjustment are superimposed, which still provides endless nourishment for contemporary civilization. The unique natural and human endowment has made the Grand Canal culture an important spiritual backbone of Chinese civilization, especially for the construction of a new development pattern to provide strong humanistic protection.

The key driving force for building a new development pattern is to promote deeper reforms and higher levels of opening up. The new development pattern is based on the large domestic cycle, starting from my country's national conditions, focusing on unblocking internal circulation, relying on deeper reforms, innovating domestic division of labor and technical systems, and creating new advantages of international cooperation and competition through higher levels of openness. Essence For a long time, the Grand Canal is a highly unified cultural window for Chinese civilization. As a World Cultural Heritage, it is attributed to the United Nations Education Organization as "the mutual benefit and continuous communication of multi -dimensional products, ideas, knowledge, and values, representing the exchange and mutual nourishment of culture in time and space." At present, the Grand Canal River linked to the most mature development of Chinese society, the most concentrated elements of innovation, and the most active exchanges in the outside world. It is also the forefront of traditional, modern, oriental, and western. It can be said that the Grand Canal of the new era is both China and the world. Its compatible, harmonious symbiosis, and win -win spirit of the spiritual cores are in harmony with the peace and development of the pursuit of all countries, and the concept of the community of human destiny advocated by China, and can inject the majestic culture into the new development pattern. Do a good job in the expression of the Grand Canal Culture in the new development pattern

Culture, as the sum of human material and spiritual production, is a collective memory with infectious power and the most penetrating communication language. With the in -depth promotion of the new development pattern, the Grand Canal, as a key carrier of the Chinese civilization, cultivates identification and self -confidence inward, and to the outsiders and the world, to break the regional barriers, resolve the conflict of civilization, and meet the differences in value. The new development pattern has important historical inspiration and practical significance. However, the interpretation and communication of culture are not naturally generated, especially the Grand Canal culture leapfrogging the era, region, and ethnic groups. It is urgent to complete creative transformation and innovative development. Express.

Stimulate cultural vitality in integrating and serving social development. The prosperity of any kind of culture is inseparable from the development and support of the economy. The Grand Canal Culture has gradually weakened due to the prosperity of the canal in the canal in modern times. Promote the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt, to serve the overall situation of economic and social development, integrate into the new development pattern, and achieve "living inheritance". It is necessary to promote the equivalent resonance of cultural strategies and economic production, people's lives, and social ecology, tap the special status of extending the development of the Grand Canal in shipping, irrigation, and ecology, and continuously consolidate the real carrier of cultural creation and communication.

Constract mental internal force in inheriting and innovating traditional culture. Throughout the spiritual connotation of the Grand Canal culture, from the natural view of heaven and people to the world view of the world, from the way of governing the world to self -improvement of life philosophy, its philosophical core and spiritual character are mixed, all of which represent The unique emotions, thoughts and wisdom of the Chinese nation. This uniqueness itself is an important driving force for the formation of cultural cross -domain communication. To promote the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt, we must shape the brand in grasping the uniqueness, and to connect the contemporary presentation of traditional cultural expression content, carriers and methods through innovation through inheritance to connect Chinese tradition and modern China.

Release the tension of the times in Rongtong and Mutual Diverse Civilization. The true meaning of human progress lies in communication and mutual learning. Gathering the water of the four sides, the fate of remittance. The culture of the canal is essentially a common language for international dialogue and exchanges. According to statistics, there are more than 500 canals in 52 countries around the world and more than 3,000 cities along the line. Its development demands, water conservancy technology, cultural connotation and other aspects have shown the value of the value beyond time and space. Promoting the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt should be in the era of "dual -cycle" to promote the encounter between Chinese culture and world civilization in the perspective of "dual -cycle". In the communication and dialogue between different cultures and civilizations, and mutual learning, increase the understanding, respect and love of each other, so as to make the spirit of different, the United States and the United States and the United States endlessly.
