What wonderful effect will it produce when the ancient Chinese song "Fishing Boat Sings" and the Egyptian folk music "Longa" are performed on the same stage? The ancient city of Luxor on the banks of the Nile River recently staged a dialogue between civilizations across time and space. That night, the Luxor Temple was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The stone pillars and obelisks complemented the red lanterns, Chinese knots, and blue and white porcelain. The Chinese and Arab civilizations met in the ancient Pharaoh Temple and were full of vitality.
“We know each other no matter how far apart we are, but we are still neighbors thousands of miles away.” China and Arab countries have a natural closeness. Although they are thousands of miles apart, the process of cultural exchanges and mutual learning has never stopped. In ancient times, Chinese silk, porcelain and four major inventions were introduced to Arab countries and brought to Europe by the Arabs. After Arab w88 casino achievements in medicine, astronomy, mathematics, architecture and other fields were introduced to China, they greatly enriched the social and cultural patterns of the time. The "viewing" between different civilizations forms a strong background on the map of human culture.
Holding the Quran in one hand and the spice box in the other. Arab traders back then brought exotic aromatherapy and Arabic culture along the long ancient Silk Road. From sweets becoming the preference of people along the southeastern coast of China, to the pipa and huqin becoming familiar folk instruments to the Chinese people; from the Arab poet Fadrullah who came to China with his father when he was young and wrote a collection of poems called "China Collection" after returning to the country, to a group of Muslim scholars such as Liu Zhi, Interpreting Islamic classics with Confucianism, writing "Heavenly Ceremony" and other masterpieces of Sino-Arab dialogue and Confucianism, and non-governmental w88 and cultural exchanges, inadvertently preserved precious memories of the years, and wrote vivid footnotes to the changes in civilizations of both sides.
Carry out mutual translation of 100 Chinese and Arab classics, provide 1,000 training places for young Arab leaders, provide 10,000 scholarships and 10,000 training places, and implement exchange visits of 10,000 Chinese and Arab artists... In a speech delivered at the Arab League headquarters, President Xi Jinping proposed a "millions and millions" cultural exchange project, drawing a clear roadmap for the development of China-Arab friendship. "Diplomatic relations between countries depend on people-to-people ties." Economic flows are only means and carriers. Only by allowing culture and ideas to flow in the "One Belt, One Road" process can people be connected and provide a steady stream of spiritual power for common friendship, cooperation, and development.
The exchanges of civilizations between China and Arab countries can be regarded as a microcosm of the diverse development of world civilizations. More than 1,000 years ago, the "Century Translation Movement" launched by the Abbasid Dynasty translated a large number of classics from ancient Greece, India and other cultural traditions into Arabic, which directly promoted the development of European and even world w88 casino. Nowadays, the online sharing of educational resources is gradually emerging around the world, allowing more and more residents who are eager to understand the politics and culture of other countries to appreciate the teaching style of world-famous schools without leaving home. Facts have proved that only by adhering to an open and inclusive spirit of communication can the flowers of w88 casino bloom more brilliantly and colorfully. As President Xi Jinping said, "Human w88 casino has the power to communicate and learn from each other because of tolerance." To dispel the worry of "clash of civilizations", it often only requires persistence and efforts from the official to the private sector to promote the harmonious coexistence of different civilizations bit by bit.
“The purpose of communication may be very different, but communication itself is the main driving wheel of history.” w88 casino is like water, which moistens things silently. How to seek wisdom and absorb nutrients from different civilizations, make the spirit contained in them alive and benefit more people is worth thinking about.
