Blue ocean, golden dream.
Sea, I swear in your name, I will revive the culture of the motherland and make it more brilliant.
Haohao, your boundless wisdom has witnessed many joys and sorrows, many ups and downs.
Looking back at that year, how brilliant Kyushu in China was, and its politics, economy and military were at the peak of the world. In particular, the splendid culture of Yan and Huang, even friends of ancient civilizations, may be far behind.
The Chinese nation is the best nation, once brilliant, and now it is moving towards glory.
Due to many factors, such as China's entry into WTO, the success of manned space flight, and the success of bidding for the Olympic Games, the world has already noticed that the culture of China and China has rolled up a strong hurricane. European and American countries have made China culture a fashion. Many compatriots are overjoyed at this.
However, I think the situation is not so optimistic.
The emerging China culture in the world is only superficial culture and material culture. However, the most fundamental internal culture and ideological culture have not received enough nutrition and space. Moreover, even this material culture is only the skin of the real material culture.
The modeling of China Kung Fu, the pattern of China Tang suit, the mounting of Chinese calligraphy and painting, and the poor and superficial foreign translation of China Laozi and Confucius' works-China culture. Is this the whole of China culture? Don't! At the height of culture, there are beautiful and elegant clever flower-and-bird meticulous brushwork, magnificent landscape freehand brushwork, floating cursive script, exquisite seal cutting, gorgeous folk New Year pictures, lifelike shadow cut, simple and natural jade carving, exquisite and gorgeous gold ring and silver bracelet, luxurious and noble famous kiln ceramics, gentle and meticulous embroidery silk, magnificent and magnificent Temple of Heaven and Forbidden City, quiet and profound. There are miracles of the Great Wall of Han Ming, echoes of Chun Xue, tacit understanding of "high mountains and flowing water", dancing clothes, interesting Peking Opera, realism of the Book of Songs, romance of Li Sao, spread of prose, lovers with parallel prose, Yuefu songs and Peking Opera.
Some people say that we have not abandoned these. Yes, but this is just a memory in my heart, not a heritage, not a development and revival.
How many of us young people have the ambition of "studying for the rise of China"? I don't know what we all have in mind, but what is really missing today when things are finished. I seem to forget that there is more room besides the small circle around me; I forgot that a living culture needs to live in my heart. Seems to make people feel flashy and empty.
This is not just a domestic crisis. I remember when I was a child, animation was regarded as a waste of time by parents and was also banned. But how many primary and middle school students don't like animation now? When boycotting Japanese goods, we ignored the unscrupulous cultural invasion of Japanese animation. Japanese animation has occupied most of the battlefields in China. Now high school is full of guys talking about Gundam and Huo Ying, and there are a certain number of Japanese game consoles at home. Some people will ask, "Is that harmful? Don't the Japanese watch it themselves? " You have to know! When the Japanese invaded China, they also used their textbooks to teach us in China. The difference is that now we are willing, so Japanese has become the second largest foreign language in China (the first English is stipulated by the education department). The harm of Japanese animation is to make us forget our own culture! Many of my friends are infatuated with Japan now, instead of hating the country that invaded us. Not only in Japan, but also in Europe and America, the effect of cultural invasion is very obvious. 350 million people (equivalent to the combined population of Britain, the United States and Canada) learn English. Christmas in Harbin, Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day or the fashion rising on the Champs Elysé es in Paris all illustrate this point.
I am not a narrow nationalist. I insist on not boycotting Japanese goods, and I insist on not banning foreign cultures. I think we should learn advanced culture, absorb other people's culture and optimize ourselves, even if it is combined with other countries' culture or even introduced into other countries' culture. If our country's culture is thriving, it will not only eclipse our own culture, but also form a more distinctive, attractive and dynamic national culture. Japanese culture, based on other cultures, has formed its own characteristics and achieved success.
The economy is soaring, science and technology are developing, the status is improving and the times are advancing. Culture needs to be revived, because this is the spirit that the Chinese nation needs most.
Friends who have come into contact with Tang poetry must have heard the phrase "no poem can surpass Tang poetry and ode". Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuanqu, Ming and Qing novels are all great memories-memories that cannot be surpassed.
China's culture must be revived, but the cultural revival is not to surpass the past, but to open a new era-a new peak in philosophy, science, thought, literature, fine arts, music, movies, animation, games and other fields, forming a greater memory in the hearts of future generations-which is also an insurmountable memory. This memory is the best gift for the motherland.
The motherland is our mother. Can we measure what our mother gave us? If it can be measured, the mother will pay hundreds of billions of times as much as we fully repay. Who has reason not to repay the mother, and who has reason not to repay the motherland? In this era full of challenges and opportunities, there is an urgent need for heroic children to fight for the glory of their mothers.
Now, we have unparalleled advantages-vast and magnificent rivers and mountains, hardworking and brave people, well-fed life, universal education, convenient information circulation, resounding name, world-leading science and technology, rapid economic development, long-term and stable peace, the most beautiful language in the world, brilliant heritage and openness of thoughts and speeches. ...
These conditions have never existed in the history of China. Those dynasties in their heyday were either held back by the war, closed their minds or closed their doors-but they were still the center of the world at that time. Are we worse than our ancestors?
How can we revive culture?
The new era needs more heroes, an atmosphere in which a hundred schools of thought contend, the enthusiastic support of the whole nation, new cultural forms and the support and publicity of various forces.
There is an interesting phenomenon: many great men in the same era in history were friends when they were still nobody-one hero drove many heroes, and many heroes created a situation, which created more heroes, and more heroes would create an era. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate heroes with new strength in all fields-not only skills, but also spirit.
We should not restrict the generation and development of all kinds of ideas (except dangerous and unhealthy, etc.). ). Excellent ideas will naturally be selected. There is no need to blindly publicize China Thought, because the cultural revival itself is to form a new China culture and start a new Chinese civilization, and other cultures will be conducive to comparison and progress. This is deeply reflected in Japanese animation culture: in the aspect of citing culture, some cite Japanese native culture, such as Rogue Mark and Naruto; Some cite Greek myths, such as "saints" and "constellation palace myths"; Some cite Egyptian myths, such as the game king and the daughter of the Nile. Some cite western magic, such as the Battle of Rhodes and the Legend of Sword Wind. Some cite China culture, such as "Romance of Gods" and "Most Travels"; ..... From the subject matter, some are science fiction, such as Gundam and Gospel Warrior in the New Century. Some are detectives, such as Conan and Jin Tianyi; Some are philosophies, such as Beautiful Dusk and Valley of the Wind; Have a plenty of love, such as "Angel Thief" and "Humanoid Computer angel heart"; ..... citing the diversity of culture and subject matter is conducive to the all-round development of domestic culture. But I personally hope that more people will choose China's traditional culture, which has a wide range of fields and rich contents. Just come up with some topics that may be good, and there are many unfinished contents, such as pre-Qin myths. However, there is no contradiction between ontology culture and external culture, and the purpose of using them is the same-reviving Chinese culture-a hundred schools of thought contend will make culture flourish rapidly.
It is more important to blow up the hurricane of Chinese culture at home than abroad. Everyone can recite poems in the Tang Dynasty, which is one of the factors for the prosperity of Tang poetry. If everyone pays attention to the culture of the motherland now, will cultural revival be far behind? We should also advocate national culture in our daily life. Kimono evolved from ancient costumes in the Tang Dynasty and is very common in Japanese daily life, especially in some festivals. Why not advocate the traditional festivals in China to wear national costumes? I'm afraid not many people have this traditional costume symbolizing culture. Also, why does a country with a population of 65.438+0.3 billion not strive to make Chinese, the most beautiful, cultural and historic language in the world, a common language, but only emphasize the importance of English in students' textbooks? It seems that CET-4 and CET-6 are a fateful problem. Maybe one day, China will become the largest country in English (it already is). We should be more proud and confident of our own culture.
We should create the characteristics of this era, absorb the splendid ancient culture of China and various advanced cultures of other countries, and inject new ideas of the times into it. Create new forms in various cultural fields. Make the revived culture gain new strength and achieve new prosperity from the outside to the inside.
To revive culture, we must use the most advanced and effective cultural carrier. Animation games organically combine music, art and literature. With its fast and interesting image advantages, it has become the most influential youth culture propaganda method in this era, and it will become a national media in the near future. We must master this method as soon as possible. It is an effective way to start more private animation game companies to participate in the competition and learn from the advanced experience of Japan and Europe in this field. Of course, we can't ignore the role of other carriers. Books, newspapers, magazines, television, radio and the Internet are still extremely important forms.
More importantly, there should be support and encouragement from the media, enterprises and the government. Only in this way can we have infinite strength in matter and spirit; Only in this way can the cultural renaissance flourish.
The spirit of the new era can improve the quality and accomplishment of the people; Make China worthy of the title of "State of Etiquette" and "Ancient Civilization"; Make the descendants of the Chinese people create higher achievements; Make China culture gain the highest status in the world; Re-interpret China's prosperity on the world stage; Make China spirit become the most advanced spirit in the world again; Let China's civilization be more brilliant.
We still have a lot of things to do, and these are just a few. No matter what we do, we should remember:
The Yangtze River and the Yellow River have nurtured us with their selfless milk; The wisdom of six thousand battles has guided us; We set foot on this 9.6 million square kilometers of China; The blood of the descendants of the Chinese people flows in the body; The proud soul of the Chinese nation stirs in my heart.
How we wish to face the world and shout out with a voice that shocks the universe: "We are from China!"
Revive the culture and repay the mother.
Heroes, it's time to create an era, and it's time to create heroes. Come on, respond to my call and start our brilliant glory together.
Thank you, sea, for allowing me to swear in your name. Now it's time for me to swear in my name: I swear that I will keep my promise with you. You will abide by this contract, won't you?
This is our contract, the contract of this era-the sea will witness this new era.
